Now maybe this fall that changes when more comeback after summer.
Our club has faced a similar dynamic, albeit certainly not backwards.
We've had more members
get back into 12th scale, when they had left the class for touring car classes instead.
Less so "new" to 12th scale.
It definitely helped to establish participation in 12th, where it had all but disappeared locally just prior to the pandemic.
WE always had 12th scale racers in our club - but the challenge was getting enough to show up on the same day to justify running the class. That's NOT a problem anymore. And I firmly believe we can thank the rubber wheels for that.
