One more thought in response to what Matt Green said, because I completely agree with him. If you look back to the last few pages of this thread, you'll notice that there seems to be a general consensus that younger people aren't joining the club and that's a problem. The comments then go on to characterize kids today as obsessed with instant gratification, uninterested in cars, etc.

I would argue that anyone who is seriously interested in joining a sport like racing doesn't have those characteristics, regardless of age. If I were reading through the forums trying to figure out if IT was right for me and found these comments, I'd run the other way. Maybe part of what needs to happen is the membership needs to change how they view the younger generation?
