Car Counts - Your Top 5 Reasons  

Many good points listed here, $$$ seems to be a large component.  My son races asphalt QMs at wall and in PA.  It costs about $180 to put right side sneakers on one of these where a lot of teams are doing this every 2 weeks, so competing w/ that can be expensive and it shows in the low car counts we are seeing, especially in the heavier divisions that we compete in.  In NJ there are limited options for kids 13-16 if you can't fit in a QM anymore, so only option to continue on asphalt is a VERY LONG TOW!  If a kid isn't in a seat for a couple of years, chances of loosing interest down the road is probably a factor.  Look at the low car counts at Wall for 4 cylinders and legends an affordable next step!
