End of Stock and SuperStock Racing??

As I see it we have two main problems, first we have an organization (NHRA ) whose top management doesn't understand class racing and could care less, but probably the biggest challenge is simply demographics. Look at the average age of stock and super stock racers. As we age and quit racing who is going to take our place? We have some younger racers but if you look in the staging lanes at almost any race you will see a bunch of racers in their 50's, 60's and 70's. other than 2nd or 3rd generation racers there are very few new racers coming in to our sport. I don't know if there is an answer for this problem.
