Unscientific informal poll

I'm a 1967 model got to start going to track when I was 2 years old My Dad ran modified.
I'm 42 now and even people my age some have raced 20 years don't have a clue what class cars even are you can explain give examples of how fast they are with whats allowed and they just look at you like you are crazy or like they did'nt hear a word you said.
My opinion is at 42 I'm one of the few my age that are into class cars.My generation is less mechanically inclined than my Dads generation(62 years old)my son is 18 his generation has less interest than mine.
My age and younger all they see is quick et they don't care if you do it with 300'' small block or 800''s with 3 systems
A good example is IHRA pro stock verses NHRA pro stockers they don't care IHRA is 315''s bigger they just see they go a little quicker.
Sorry if went long this is something that has aggravated me almost my whole life.People don't want a challenge or work for accomplishments they want it easy but when you get it easy what do you have to be proud of?
