Drag Racing is Dying

Lots of sound points made here, people have and will continue to race as long as there is something to race.

Demographics change, things cycle and there are niches. As far as drag racing goes I doubt we will see the numbers of the late 60's again for all the reasons above. That said you can look at places like Greatlakes and Byron to see a pretty decent resurgence in nostalgia, bracket, points and hobby racing.

I have been involved in a lot of different types of racing and I can tell you there is a certain amount of people who will be racing come hell or high-water as they can afford to fund it regardless of external factors and they are equally as passionate about it.

Fear not there will be a race for you if you want to race.



The good news is "racing cost no more today than it ever has... everything you got"
