How did the younger generations get involved in racing then? Somehow they managed to. Kids get into racing because a parent, relative or friend is already into it, not because a track is nice or isn't a "dump".

I am in my late 30's and I was always allowed to go to the track, and thus this was how I was introduced to the sport.
A dump, is a place that you would be ashamed and embarrassed to take your wife/GF/friends/family to, Or a place where you would be afraid to leave your wife alone while you place a awager.
And if the places are not dumps, you are likely to attract more family oriented people, thus broadening your base of possible fans.
