Personally I thinks it more simple than all that has been said previous, I live in the UK, and our so called government have put so many stealth taxes in place in the last 3ish years, that people simply DON'T have the monies to buy luxury's like we used to, just ask around, and guys that used to race will simply say, 'I can't afford to race any more' period, shame but fact, and its the same all over the world, tax this tax that. Example, Fuel/gas over here is now £1.20 a litre when this time last year it was around £1.00 that's $2 a litre crazy or what, but somehow I keep racing.
