Trends In Our Sport

Forgive me for thinking out loud & sharing this, but lately I've not been able to get this out of my mind... Has anyone done, or know of gathered data for the following metrics:

New racers, by category, class, state, city
Parked racers (same criteria)
Racers who've sold off operation (same criteria)

Also:

New race tracks (state, city)
Track closure (state, city)
Operating tracks (state, city)
- Basic revenue data (profit - loss)

I'd be curious how drastic the changes would look in graph format over a 50 year period.
