David, I think my wife even noticed that, how many sections they had covered, so to the casual observer, maybe they wouldn't notice, it just makes it more evident when they try to hide it, Bristol and Martinsville, and the first at Daytona are the only one's even close to a "large" crowed, I hate to see it doing this, because in my mind, the people even interested in racing anymore, are getting fewer and fewer, yes, we might have a lot of fans on this forum, but even it is getting drawn down, the one's that are here want more, but they aren't putting up the money to race, ticket sales won't buy squat, sponsors and enthusiasts who help out do! And, I don't blame Cousin Carl for stepping away, the ensuing rush to find something else may be overwhelming! Bob
