Unfortunately the decline of race tracks are part of it also. Don't know how many of you live near Raceway Park in NJ but they no longer "race" there. Sad to see! Now there is only two left in the state. Feel like they are becoming like drive in's. Today young people don't have cars to build like it was back in the day, And if so it's ricers. There was a shop i used to go to and he had every machine you could think of. It closed and they tore it down now it's an empty lot. Got to wonder where all the machines went. Same goes for speed shops because they are a lot of the time hand in hand.
