Car Counts - Your Top 5 Reasons  

1.The entire world has changed. There seem to be way more activities for kids at a very young age. Social media has made it very important for kids to be involved in sports at a very young age. Parents plaster there kids all over the popular internet pages and non of that includes Auto Racing. 

2. As stated above not many tinkers or even guys who know more about cars then how to start one. Also stated above everything today is throw away and get another. Not fix it. 

3. Money. Don't get me wrong this is a big problem but I don't have it at the top because racing has always been very hard on the bank account. The thing is we always find a way to pay for things if we want it bad enough. I just don't think people want to race bad enough today for above reasons.

4&5 have been stated in above posts and I agree with all.

Very interesting stuff.
