Deconstructing Stock

Racers don't like being the underdog. When you have people by 1/2 second, it's easy to be a good sportsman.

This might be a shot in the dark. Is it possible that the reason that the car counts are down, is that the economy and the country have fallen on its ***? People don't have, or want to spend extra money on racing because they need it to live. If you work for a company that is constantly downsizing
or reducing operating cost, you are not making the money your used to. Who is going to invest in racing, when you have to feed your family?
I'm not sure there is many racing venues that are truly thriving right now. Im sure the high dollar bracket races do well, but the local standard buck deal is off in attendence. If you have to make money at these races to continue to participate you should find another venue. People with every day businesses are struggling .
The reason for less participation, is people are spending less money.
10 years ago, we were thriving. Good car counts, new racers, lower fuel costs. Now that our dollar is worth less, we are feeling the pinch of real everyday life.

I'm not sure Pure Stock, No heads up, more heads up's, pump gas, rocket fuel, ect is going to help anything right now. If and when things get better financially is when people will come back...
