Many years ago was many years ago. The game has changed.

Really?
Not ever body had TV, hmmm-- just how young and ignorant are you.
Are you saying that "many years ago" people had brains but now they are complete twits?
Please tell me how spectators have become irrelevant and tracks do not need them.
Please tell me how race series are created not because of fan and auto maker interest but in- modern - (is this related to abstract art?) times first comes the TV contract- badaBOOM- and then a race series is formed.
Hmmm-- tell me how race tracks survive without spectators to pay the bills-- how Road America lives off of TV money, this ought to be a real revelation. Kind of like modern schools, don't worry about being correct, close is good enough.
Is this related to those youts who think "racing" computer games is good way to make road racing grow--
PS:
Adjusted for inflation, a top rank IMSA or SCCA GT cost just as much in 1980 as it does in 2010.
