Same here. My son is a decent driver, but seems to be losing interest. The "cost" for him isn't $$$, it's time. He just doesn't want to give up 10am till 4pm of his Saturday for 20 minutes of track time.
My hope is that in the near future, brushless and lipo will enable longer races. Maybe "endurance" type of races (20 or 30 minute races?) where the entire race day is about 3 hours long instead 4 or 5 or 6 may help.
