Hi All,

Might I humbly suggest that the best way to get younger owners interested in 
our clubs and hobby is to promote more "driving" events.
I belong to the oldest Triumph marquee club in the US and attend meetings 
fairly often. I would have loved to have been in this club 30 years ago when 
autocrosses and rallys' were a regular feature. Perhaps local marquee clubs 
could partner with SCCA or NASA to put on more performance driving events. 
When these events are easy to attend and open to everyone we all win. Young 
drivers get a chance to learn respect for their cars and the laws of physics 
in a controlled environment. Older drivers can share their experience, and 
the community benefits from all drivers improving their skills. There's a 
reason why they're called "Sports Cars", let's not forget that.

Cheers,

John Matthews
