Out of all the series you mentioned how many of those series are truly growing?
Manzanita may be drawing "better" but it is still trading water when it comes to overall growth.
If a open wheel guy does start to be noticed where are they shooting for?
NASCAR.
The Tony Stewarts and Jeff Gordons of the junior leagues are not attempting to race in either the IRL or CCWS.
Why?
There is no money left in those series. Either one.
The "higher echelon" Indycar style racing in the USA is a dying sport. CCWS being the weaker of the 2.
In a few years once CCWS folds it's tent up the IRL is not going to experience some sort of huge growth phase.
The death of Indy style open wheel racing is a sad one, the racing and track side "event" was truly some great times, all long gone, not to be repeated.
