Have to remember age of the racers. Many have totally retired from racing or passed away. The lack of younger Class racers due to lower income of their generation or lack of a family habit of racing could be a major part too.
The level of cost and sophistication of Stock and SS is WAY above entry level for todays younger people. Time for a Spec class with any body legal based on wt and cubic inchs like old MOD. That would simplify entry and lower cost at least at first.
Like it or not these are the facts.
