I agree. I got involved with this sport when I was 20 years old. 20 plus years later the only fans you see in the stands when s and ss run are the same as when I started! The racers and their family or friends that came with them. Everybody thought that when the firebirds and camaros in the mid to late 90's came out that this was going to bring in the young crowd! Well how did that work out?

I say good luck and have fun while it lasts! Might be 2yrs or 20yrs. But the young crowd will never be there through the week and early mornings no matter what car is running!!
