I think there are alot of things that effect stk,ss, things are alot different now,as example,kids play sports now almost year round,and travel alot,people have have alot more options for entertainment,one thing that comes to in the 70's you went to movie theater,had 1-2 movies that may show for 2-3 weeks or longer,at that time you drag raced you ran stk,ss,mod,alky classes? pro stock,funny car,top fuel or et bracket that was all run and did'nt pay much.,we had 4 tv channels here,abc,cbs.nbc and pbs.
We did'nt have big discount superstores,we had main streets filled with locally owned businesses.
Then there are'nt mechanically inclined people like there used to be,the majority of people could do basic stuff on their cars.

I don't know how to fix class racing,just some of my observations,also I know bracket racers that have raced 20 years and don't even know class racing exist or what it is.

I also remember you could win alot of money in the 80's compared to what it cost to race,and now it seems like win about the same amount,but alot more to race.
