Audience for one. I've seen more spectators at 4 yr old T-ball games than during sportsman runs at any national and/or LODRS event. It's no secret that fans equate to new blood. S & S/S have become too technical to attract the masses. And despite the drop in automotive enthusiasm, the new fans look to the outlaw stuff (Lights Out, No Prep etc. big dollar grudge races). There may be new cars in S/SS but the concept is far past dated.

Just my $.02
