I guess people would rather watch cars continually turn left than turn left and right?
I don't think it is a secret that many sporting events have suffered in this recession. I hear ads on the radio pushing discount packages for Atlanta Braves tickets.
BTW, does anyone remember these cool old T/A cars?

I remember those Mustangs. They had one of them at the Monterey Historical Races a few years ago along with one of the Pensky Camaros. Those were the days of really good racing and you could actually relate to the cars on the track. I used to go down to our local road course and watch when they had races but my health has made it hard for me to be gone for more than an hour or so and it is a 40 minute drive down there. The last time I went down, someone had one of the old NASCAR short track cars there but it didn't handle very well on that road course.
