I think it's that more and more people are also getting interest in road racing and Drifting. They both seem to be having an uptick in popularity which leaves tracks that do 1/4 only out in the cold. Even OEM's have picked up on that with cars like the new GT Performance Pack Level 2, GT350, and 1LE's have shown that handeling is now just important, if not more important than straight line. Hellcats and Demons get lots of hype, but they also seem to have high turnover as they tend to be one trick pony's.
