It is my humble reply that this phenomenon is not only happening to motor sports. Many other sports as well either are suffering now, because of little emphasis of gym in elementary education or will suffer from changing demographics.

Even if the race moves to Las Vegas it is a thumb in the dike of changing attitudes and wants from the public. I do believe that like modern football stadiums which are used perhaps 20 times per year Louden is destined to close.

It is ironic that football team owners are demanding new stadiums and facilities or they will leave and relocate but will not own up to the elephant in the room that is concussions and how the players have, and will continue to, die from that. Even the Olympics is getting lost in their own scandals, be it doping, pay off to officials, or the lack of interest in bidding for the Olympics anymore due to the loss of money when hosting the event.
