Auto Racing:About

This wiki is for amateur auto racers. It will be seeded by members of the ApexSpeed forum, which focuses on amateur formula car racing in the US (mostly SCCA), but I would like the wiki to eventually cover all countries, types of cars, and types of racing (rally, drag, oval, dirt, kart, etc.) in which amateurs compete. Content will focus on the construction and maintenance of race cars, rules discussion, track descriptions, racing craft, and event operation (for course workers).

Just to be clear, this wiki is not primarily about racing video games (although that subject does occasionally come up on ApexSpeed), it is about real cars on real courses.

It is also not primarily about being an auto racing spectator or fan (watching NASCAR or F1 on TV, for example), it is about participating in auto racing.
