I would absolutely love to see it continue. I’ve been sending cars for years now and was and still am sad about seeing it go.

Personally, if you guys had MA, I am pretty sure I would go live, and at the very least race proxy.

Just my thought,
T-Bone

I think it should continue for sure. When I started racing there were three leagues and this event. Now we're about to have one league and that's it. So if something happens to that league this hobby is gone.

My thought is the more events and leagues there are the better it is for the hobby in general.

Totally agree with Darkside's comment. The more leagues and events this hobby has, the healthier it becomes. Going down to one league and without a Scout National event to farm interest in future league racers, paints a bleake picture down the road.
Joel mentioned during last race that there is still hope to continue NPWDRL but it won't be hosted by him. Pretty sure I know who is trying to make it happen but has to overcome a hurdle or two. Keep your fingers crossed.
If there is to be a 2023 National event, I would certainly want to attend live, pending where and when. Otherwise I would proxy.
