End of Stock and SuperStock Racing??

The reason there are only 16 pro stockers entered, are there are only 16 people wealthy enough, and love it enough to race it. I want to race pro stock, as does every racer I personally know. The reason the crowd leaves, and few stay in the stands, are that the few who stay in the stands, are the ones who understand drag racing. The masses are just there for the noise, because that's all they can relate to. Case in point, no one grew up understanding it. What was there, over 80 mod cars that protested the demise of mod racing at Indy in 82? It wasn't stopped because of lack of participation, but the ease of maintaining such a class. But, no one argues that it was the grassroots of drag racing. Now, I think they know it was a huge mistake, and led to the complete demise of crowd appeal in sportsmen racing.
