If anything lately I have seen a growth in car count at our local track, which is very encouraging...

Even though our S/P count may not be what is used to be there are more than ever sportsman cars, and for some insane reason Jr. Dragsters...

Another thing to help drag racing along is as a seasoned racer take some time to encourage these kids racing thier hearts out for little to no money each week... some of these Jr's can cost upwards of 10K or more, and most race for a trophy or maybe $100. At our local track each week someone has been putting up extra $$$ for the kids, but not for a win... for best RT in time runs, or closest loosing rd in 1st rd... someting to reward kids that dont usually get anything..

And I like the other comment about take someone to the track who has never been down the track in a car... dont need to be a real fast car, but let them stage and drive down the track ... they will be back...
