Nothing like getting all excited and revved up about a passion only to find out that it's in its death throes.
Where are you located? While what is posted here is true in general/on average, there are hot spots of participation, and even in some areas like SoCal, a decreased participation is still much more racing than most of the country on average. I was pleasantly reminded of this last weekend with full fields (upgrade points-wise) at Roger Millikan.
