And, as a matter of fact, a similar phenomenon is affecting vintage racing.
Aficionados, especially for the Golden Age cars, may not be dead, but they are
'graying,' and starting to pull back and/or leave the hobby. The issue is
further complicated by the myriad of Alphabet Sanctioning bodies attempting to
hold way too many events. I can remember when there were a half dozen vintage
racing events per year, now some week ends have a half dozen events listed.
If there is not a significant influx of fresh blood, along with additional cars
for them to choose from, it is going to get pretty bleak out there in Vintage
Racing Land.
