Well, all their top series - Wesbank V8s, Shelby Prototypes - imploded during the 2000s, so they are really only trying to get it started again right now. I think a lot of different groups are throwing stuff at the wall and just trying to see what sticks, so to speak. Apparently state level series are doing okay-ish, but their national top series over the last few years was Production Cars and those even struggled to put more than a dozen of cars on the grid...
It'll be a long time - if ever - before they get back to what they had in the 80s and early 90s:
