With 2010 almost done, is drag racing healthy?

From the racers view, how is the popularity of drag racing (fans, participants). Anyone quiting, any new racers and/or cars (besides me). Giving account of the current economy, veteran racers that have been around for years and years, what do you think? Do you find yourself saying "how hard would it be to put this thing back on the street". I recently went to a domestic vs import, 275, 10.5 etc at MIR in Maryland, and the place was absolutly packed and they were all (well 90%) under 30 yo KIDS. I was at Indy this year and it could not compare with what I saw at Maryland. Even though Indy is the top for me hands down.
