To prove my point, has anyone seen a situation where a traditionally fast guy got slow, over time? They just keep spending, or (more commonly), changing cars and/or combinations.

Nothing new here. This is how things have been since the very beginning.

Used to be that the sharpest, hardest-working guys were the fast ones, but those days are LONG gone.....

Sorry, but I feel you are wrong on this. Having the resources to run makes life easier, but it still takes a thought and effort to go fast.
I think that a lot of guys perspective is stuck in the past. The cost to run a competitive Class car hasn't changed particularly when compared to income statistics. A new Camaro cost around $3,000.00 in the sixties. They are now $30,000.00 plus. Paying $3,000.00 for a new car and then spending the money to be a "player" back then was big money. Maybe some people have just lost the enthusiasm that is part of youth?
