Unemployment in the South has really cut down on the number people who can afford to make races. It costs money to race and if you don't have that excess cash after the bills then you can't afford to race.

Jim -- If you haven't been to Atco in some time you wouldn't recognize the facility as Joe Sway and Co. have made it into one of the East Coasts' nicer places to race.And he try's to make the Stock/SS guys and gals feel welcome .

As for unemployment its just as bad here in the Northeast - for example my office is in Bethlehem , PA where the unemployment rate is just past 10% .........not much excess cash here .
