I think everyone will agree here that car counts for drag racing is down by a considerable amount.. I've only been racing for a couple of years and I've seen the numbers dwindle steadily...

Which leads me to wonder if its due to this economic recession we're in.. or is this a trend that will continue and that drag racing is pretty much on its last leg... as we know it..

I'm thinking the high costs to build a car, transport a car, maintain a car and to actually race the car is so far out of control that the backyard... grass roots racer is having second thoughts..

I know for me I love racing, but at the same time am getting quite concerned about the amount of money I've put out in just this last year..
