There seems to be more interest (in fielding a car) than engine leases available. Not 50+, but Honda & Chevy can barely supply the 33.
No matter what, racing is not like it used to be (when there was 55+ cars). It doesn't mean as much as it used to; to be part of smthn. There are more options to race in a division where people think they can win (countless sports car classes, etc).
