good god i remember racing in a welsh national must have been about 15 to 20 years ago, just outside Camarthen near llanstephan. they had a model shop in Camarthen then. those were the good days. (Jeez i am feeling older everytime i read this thread)

I do agree about a lack of new drivers, it does seem like the rostrums are full of a lot of middle age drivers with not a lot of new talent taking up the torch, i blame microsoft and sony, damn you xbox and ps3.

But it can be an expensive hobby and pretty dependant on Dad or Mum taking you and there really isnt enough exposure too the youth of today. Loads of adverts on the telly for games, nothing for racing. Which i think is a shame, whenever i see kids watching at slough, or any other track for that matter, they are completely transfixed. and watch for ages.
