We have some younger racers but if you look in the staging lanes at almost any race you will see a bunch of racers in their 50's, 60's and 70's. other than 2nd or 3rd generation racers there are very few new racers coming in to our sport. I don't know if there is an answer for this problem.
Greg you are right on with that I have six grandkids 4 want to drive but not the right age. I hope there is still stock and superstock when they are.
