don`t give up Tork, but like Brew said, there are issues with getting the younger group interested enough to go the distance. It`s just the changing times and interest levels. kinda like cats :whistle: Many times the competition aspect sounds good, but when you do get new/younger members, they most likely have never been exposed to this hobby, and the tinkering/hands on side of things. So interest quickly disappears. We/our local club has had membership grow and decline over the years, but we always have just enough people show up to have a good time. We do things a bit different here though, there is no organized racing, no rules, no guidelines just fun. Hell I couldn't tell you how many Saturday nights I`ve not even picked up a controller. We have a very unique group, as usually 80% of our better halves show up at every Saturday night get together and hang out too. This makes for is a really great close nit group of members, actually more like a family. Try different approaches, you never know what will work, after all a good time is all you need to have.
