It's not just because of the lack of interest in what we do that keeps the young folks out...
It's the cost and time!

Someone said it the other day ..$125 K cars racing for $800 if you're lucky to collect it all...3-4 days at the track, motels or motor home?
$100 plus in association fees, $170 for one person at a divisional? $12 /gallon gas
What young person, working full time, maybe with a family already, would want to jump in on that?

True entry level might be :
13.00 index (fast Jr stock times of yesterday)
NO teardowns or fuel check.
Stock appearing, no scoops or tires sticking out, no gutted interior.
Saturday TT's , Sunday morning eliminations.
$100 two days/ two people
Wallys to the finalists, plus merch awards. (Jegs ,Summit , Lucas Oil, Valvoline)
They could move up to Stock when ready..as some eventually would.

Let's think real "entry level " here.
