I would say the economy also but I would add that I went to the race track this past weekend for the first time in about 5 years. Was about 30 cars/bikes/rails there total and this was a points race for Super Street, 6:50 and 7:50 1/8th mile and motor cycle race. Great track and a nice place but there where maybe 6 people in the stands including myself and a friend there to watch.

I think if they brought back true heads up racing maybe it would help. I watched for 4 hours and just got bored and went home. There is just osmehting about watching a car leave and hit the stop and then take back off that is dead boring to watch.

Will I go back and watch another race? Most likley not unless it is an ORSCA or NMCA race...

This is just a spectators point of view...
