Yes,,I'm 57. Travis is deffinately right about today's youngsters. Last October a friend and I flew back to Memphis for the annual LSX Shootout and NMCA race and the "under 35ers" were there doing what we all did years ago,, they just have a different type of race car. They have their own group of stars( The Ohio Boys,,SAM race group and so on) who the younger fans follow and crowd around. It was an eye opener for us, as nothing like that gets run up in the NW. Any new generation stock/superstock racers will most likely come from families already involved in it. There were no imports at this event,,,sadly the announcement that Memphis was closing came about 2 weeks after we got back home.
