I wound up the same way. Our group was inundated with guys who didn't want to run the cars we ran, and the next thing we knew, our group didn't have any of us in it. So, they are all out running post-modern NASCAR that we never cared about, and there's only one other of the original group I'm still in touch with. I haven't run any of my classic LeMans, Trans Am, Japan GT, classic NASCAR, or even jalopies against anyone in years and years. One side benefit of the carnage was that our favorite track, the oldest, became available to me to restore and save from the dump. The former owner quit slot cars altogether after decades, sold his stuff to his brother far from here, and got into motorcycle racing with his son. So, I run cars on each of the four lanes and swill beer, eat slotburgers and laugh all by myself! If I didn't live out in the country, someone would have hauled me off by now!
This is the reason the recent rash of proxies here on HRW is such a boost for me.
