Seemed it was mostly established guys dusting off old cars and doing it for laughs.
This seems like a good way to get new racers through the door - we'd have to find a way to advertise to the masses - but if they have a [suitable] car they'd be able to join in on the fun.
However, a potential wrench in keeping the "casual" racers interested - transponder requirements... Short of those with the intent of getting involved on a serious level, I doubt many newbies are interested in spending $85 for a transponder.
