Amateur Racing in general, and Vintage Racing in particular is now faced with
stiff competition. I can remember in the late 1970s and early 1980s when
there were but a half a dozen Vintage Events per year. Hell...now there are
some weekends with a half a dozen events. This certainly has impact.
What may prove to be even more interesting, is if the country goes into a
serious recession. Surely competing events AND a tight dollar will impact
our sport.
