My local chapter, at least the people who attend, will be completely extinct in 15 or 20 years. Regional club events seem about the same.
Over on the HAMB...LOTS of young people learning the flathead ropes. Yes, they are modifiers, but they are generally people who respect the Ford design and aesthetic, not the electric windows, airbags, and LS-1 engine crowd at all. Many are still in their 20's, some are even teenagers, and of course they have to be very dedicated to try to cope with current flathead and early Ford costs.
These are the future, and they are people who have jobs and children in school...they will never see a Monday through Thursday show. And neither will anyone casually interested, people who might be hooked and become flathead fanatics if they could stop by a show!

I agree young people is our future. Thanks for the post.
