OK I heard from Dr. Evial (Jeff C) that at a recent group meeting it was said that:
"...your kids will probably not drive formula cars"
OK, whoever said that doesn't no my kid, is not paying attention to the world outside the paddock and needs to look at the history of club racing. Yeah, numbers are down in the Formula Car classes...pretty d**n far down. Then again I would be interested to hear how GENERAL ENTRY is down based on PERCENTAGES rather than counting asses in seats.
How many fly by night MIATA drivers are out on the golf course rather than clogging up the paddock? Where are the massive lists of SPEC RACERS that usually dust the apexes with crap just before group 4?
I dunno if anyone has noticed but the economy SUCKS right now and for most of us racing is a LUXURY HOBBY. If comes down to mortgage over American Racers, guess who wins? Yeah! The same d**n people who started this whole d**n mess in the first place THE BANKS.
So I think the questions should be be less about whether or not the kids will drive Formula cars and more about if they will race at ALL!
OK I gotta go see if I can fit a CURS ssytem into Jeff's Viper.
