I'm one of the new owners that Sean was talking about. And, though I
was entered in six races this year (and made it to four), my numbers
don't show up because I'm still on a Novice License (I'm doing 6 races
then upgrade directly to a National.) It takes some time for us noobs
to get that National! I hope to be able to run my first National at
Rose Cup next June. I expect Sean will be getting his National at
about the same time - it all depends on when Regionals are scheduled
and how that works into my schedule as Wife.gov has a lot to say about
my racing weekends.
My car will be out on the track, but I don't matter - YET.

Jay, with all due respect, numbers from a single division don't mean
much.
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.
