The main causitive factor I see is our society has become "celebrity" focused today . The racing has become secondary to the opinions of the "talking heads" and appearances by the "superstars" who the media moguls think draw bigger audiences . I too miss Steve Evans and earlier Chris Economacky who understood racing . What's needed is a production company to film , package and sell a Sportsman Racing series to Speed . Unfortunatly I do not hold out any optomism fir that happening in a world that's selling celebrity and circuses .
