Why Aren't You Racing?

Bob,
You stood tall on my soap box...
Very good points. I was going to say we had seen about a 40 % drop. I had based it on Nitro Joe's stats. We have been having a lengthy discussion on one of the Comp forums about attendance/participation and how to make changes to improve it. I'm of the opinion that things are going to have to change in near future to keep the majority of track owners in the black. Even some of the better local tracks are having trouble staying out of the red. I hope the future of our sport can be a good one, but it doesn't look so good to me. I'm not trying to be a gloom and doom guy, just a realist that things aren't the same & our sport needs to evolve/grow with the times....
Bob,
Thanks for an insiders perspective
