I'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY OF THESE CARS ARE SETTING IN GARAGES. AND HOW MANY OF THEM WERE PUT THERE DO TO SOME "RULE CHANGE" WHERE THE PERSON COULD NOT AFFORD TO CONTINUE RACING. THATS WHY ME AND MY FATHER QUIT.MOTOR CHANGE AND ROOL HOOP SIZE IN THE SAME YEAR KILLED A 10YR THING. THANKS GREG

I believe Formula Mazda had fewer entries in NEDiv than F500 had in PacNW - there's only one car campaigning there. I don't see anyone lamenting the imminent demise of FM, and certainly nobody is trying to radically change the rules to prop it up. I believe that if you look at FV in PacNW, you'll see very low numbers, as well. F500 is centered in SEDiv, NEDev, CENDiv, and MWDiv - so let's look at what the marketers call 'same-store sales' if we're going to honestly evaluate participation. If we got all the cars out to the track, I think we'd be in fine shape; my fear is that a radical change to the ruleset will guarantee that many of those cars will stay in the garage.
