I was active in this group from 1997 to the early 2000a. I grew up here. Still talk to many people I met here. What a fucking shame this group became...this.

Yep! I really think the retirement of the last generation of drivers and NASCAR's constant efforts to promote "Political Correctness" have driven off most of the older fans. Younger people would rather sit around staring at their phones than actually
watch a race.

With regard to a lack of participation here,
a more likely reason, is the use of other social media,
Facebook, Twitter etc.

Easier accessability, use of pictures and videos..
Just an immensely larger platform.

It was a good time, years ago.
I joined up 25 years ago......

Yes, I agree, also NASCAR ( Brian France) has done it's best to drive older fans away.
