New people sign up for TR every day but I guess they're not replacing the old timers out at the track.
I know I'll be back to the track as soon as I can piece together a cheap turbo setup. And like Ender, after college I'm going big- there'll be a 400ci+ LS-based stroker on a big shot of nitrous in my car and I'll be the guy braking at the 1000' to avoid being banned. I'm just in a transition period at the moment, but I guess a lot of people are out of it for good and nobody is replacing them.
well I'd say it's mostly that the 1/4 mile guys on TR and such have moved to more specific local forums for drag racing or gotten out of the game. TR's diversity allows it to be a much larger forum but doesn't cater as well to the specifics like some other boards. I'm a straight line guy who drives a GM and the 2 forums that would pertain to me the best happen to also be some of the slowest. TR is still a great place, but I can't really say that there is alot to offer in the form of technical advice for my application or car make.
the average user on here drives a basically stock 240 or Honda as opposed to a few years. Most on here don't care about straight line performance as much as the general population on here did a few years back.
