Bill:

And, as a matter of fact, a similar phenomenon is affecting vintage racing.  
Aficionados, especially for the Golden Age cars, may not be dead, but they are 
'graying,' and starting to pull back and/or leave the hobby.  The issue is 
further complicated by the myriad of Alphabet Sanctioning bodies attempting to 
hold way too many events.  I can remember when there were a half dozen vintage 
racing events per year, now some week ends have a half dozen events listed.  
If there is not a significant influx of fresh blood, along with additional cars 
for them to choose from, it is going to get pretty bleak out there in Vintage 
Racing Land.
