Open your eyes and look around at the car counts......and the number of tracks that were once packed with weekly racers now having very low car counts.
NHRA events with very low car counts...
I was at many races over the years with huge fields in all categories....
I live in an area where car counts have always been large...
They have dwinddled to numbers so low tracks struggle to stay open or in the case of my closest track......closed after 50+ years of operation......
Once a track closes it is very unlikely anything new will come along to replace it........
So I don't think I am being melodramatic.....just calling it like I see it the last few years....
and I started racing nearly 50 years ago so I have seen all the era's good and bad....
I will say things looked bleak once before in the oil embargo era and the sport bounced back bigger than ever......hopefully that can happen again but it ain't happenin right now,,,,,,
