I don't make it to club races anymore either. Main reasons being time (balancing the number of weekends away with having a young child), and money (cost of fuel and tyres/spares).
The issue of attracting new blood was often raised at my old regular club, but we never managed to find any good solutions. Suggestions were things like a cheaper stock class (mardave etc) to allow youngsters to compete on a budget (or minimise parent outlay!) and level playing field.
I think the hiring out of "club cars" is a great idea, as this was reasonably succesful at my old club until the person who organised them moved away.
