I wonder if any of you saw the article about NASCAR spending big bucks to try to understand the attendance problem .....turns out that a significant % of young people don't really like cars in the same way that most of us did growing up . They don't like to tinker with cars ( like I did ) and the whole thing translates into younger people being somewhat disinterested in racing .....sounds about the same for trains doesn't it ? 
From being in the car business 20+ years , I certainly sensed a different attitude towards cars but didn't realize how badly that translated for racing . I suppose it is logical but then while I'm a bigtime football and hockey fan , I didn't play either ....was a ballplayer .
So it looks like Nascar has a problem !
Oh , the young people , according to the Nascar survey , like ipods and various other electronic gadgetry instead . Yup , not surprised .

The reason for that is most likely that you cant "personalize" cars like you could in the 70's and 80's. We could add and subtract all kinds of custom parts. Now today - you risk messing up the car more than customizing it.
