Michael Beard, now you and I agree on something that I hear over and over. There are young people coming out to the races and a lot of them. At almost all of the local tracks there are a number of young people in the pit area. Looking and asking questions. If we could give them a show that will get them up in the stands to watch the races then we are accomplishing something.

A lot of people say the younger generations don't have any interest in the old cars. You need to go out to a Saturday night cruise-in at a local resturant and see how many show up to look and talk about the old cars. We have our race car, 1971 Duster, at atleast one cruise in every month. Look at the photos from East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame Reunion and see how many young people attend that event and how many families, Mom, Dad and children attend to look at those old cars. Thanks Michael for your comment.
