I guess the point of my question is - is there new blood coming into class racing? How much?

...........Darn good question.........maybe Nitro joe Jackson can find that answer..........I know that at the divisional races I attend [spectator] in division 6 it seems that I have watched a lot of the same cars for many years, and of course the same drivers. I imagine with the new "factory" cars out this last year we will see a small flurry of new cars on the track this next year, and I imagine it will be drivers that we are familiar with, not very many new ones, if any. We all seem to talk about how old we are, and how good things were way back then, not many guys saying how young they are. Just another notch on the belt of the Baby Boomer generation!!.........
