On a event weekend they would show up sat and not race Sunday. I believe this are the same people that post their cars on bst "feeler sale" let's see what I can get if I decide to sell my stuff or I'll practice Saturday just to gauge my speed and if I'm off pace I will not race Sunday. Sorry guys, I'm ranting a bit. Lastly, most of us are grown, we have families, we can't take a few days off to race and barely have time to club race.
Yes, I believe the economic state in the US is not helping either. A huge economic shift is taking place now, and Asia will be at the top. I know if I start a family of my own, I probably can't stay in this hobby anymore. Sad, but the truth.
