Well there was a crowd of people by Jimmy's car just about all the time. And there were a lot more people coming over to look at my car than any of the cars between us. I can't tell you how many people copme up to me and say I've got a Neon or my girlfriend drives one etc.
The nostalgic cars are not going to draw the newcomers. Why should they
We look at a fast A/SA car it goes in the nines. Well a lot of the "kids" out there can go just as quick and drive their cars to the track..

Same deal here... my Turismo gets a lot of looks and a number of people coming up to talk about it everywhere I go.

I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I bracket race my Stocker every weekend that I'm not at a S/SS event. I talk to a *lot* of people about the car and the sport, and have gotten several people -- younger generation -- interesting in class racing. It's not like we have to convert half of the Test n' Tune crowd in order to keep S/SS racing alive... a few here and there adds up, and everyone can help simply by making themselves accessible, and putting your car out in front of a different crowd now and then.
