I think that is part of it. Look around this board at people who do nothing but complain. I think that is part of it too.

The choices are so much greater for young people. They have alot more entertainment options and obligations . I haven't got to any races due to kids sports and now they are playing all stars.

Why do my kids like racing? Both myself and wife like to go. I think that's why I liked it. But we don't see these open wheel guys on tv like I did as a kid. ie Thursday night thunder. Got me fired up to go racing that weekend. Seeing the same guys sometimes.

This "green house gas" "global warming" "climate change" lie didnt just happen. It is all part of a agenda and the sheeple choose not to listen to how this will CHANGE the country. Most people spend twice as much a month on gas and food then what they did only 5 years ago on a average.

I am not sure how the sport of Auto racing is going to survive after the new health care bill starts rollng next year with the IRS hiring 16,000 (thats a fact jack) new employes to collect the payments. It will effect everyone on this board !!

I happen to turn on the radio station this morning and it was a live remote from the parade in chicago were the guys hold hands and so do the chicks. Its hard to beleive in just a few years that what you were taught as a kid to be wrong is accepted today and your wrong if you voice your opinon.

I think promoters have some, if not a lot to do with it.

"I saw a man
He danced with his wife
In Chicago
Chicago, my home home town"

Advertising!!! I talk to so many people in their 20's and they don't even know what a sprint car is.
