In reply to Himself.

Millenials and younger just aren’t into “insert whatever“.

Go to any SCCA race and see who is driving the cars. They are mostly people like me or a few years younger. The younger generation just doesn’t aspire to being racers like when I was a kid. I started racing cars at age 20*. Most of the younger drivers now started in karts at age 4 – 8, but there are not many of them.

Same thing in flying, fewer and fewer younger guys. I started at age 18 and there were several of us flying sailplanes. Most of the youth I see flying now are the sons of older pilots.

I blame video games that allow a person to sit and experience something.

*the year I turned 20 they changed the minimum age from 21 to 18, now you will see the occasional 16 year old that graduates from karts and are usually pretty good and well funded by Mom and Dad
