While away on a trip here recently I started thinking about getting back on the track this summer and how there are each year more and more people attending track days and driver education events. I was thinking back to the first track day I did a long time ago and was trying to remember what did I want most. Answer was a fairly comprehensive guide of the track I was going to drive...this same thing holds true today when I go to a new track.
So started looking around the web and found that the world was desperately short on a single good resource out there that gave people the information about various tracks such as turn by turn references, videos, or heck even contact and geographic location. So being that I work every day with the web I decided to start to throw something together.
Over the weekend here I hammered the infrastructure behind a wiki (online community editable encyclopedia) that has a goal of being the best reference for track information around that world. The webpage is http://www.trackpedia.com please go out and take a look.
I know a lot of you NSX folks track your cars so I just wanted to make you aware of the site and hopefully plead for some of you to help contribute to the site.
Anyway if you all would please check out the site and let me know what you think. Feel free to add or modify what you want on the page (as thats the point of a wiki) and I will do my best here over the next few months while not working at my regular job to incorperate your comments to make the page better either with layout, information or other things. As I said if you want to help contribute as well by all means just go ahead I grant you free reign on the site.
The folks at rennlist and ferrarichat have already been my test pilot group as I frequent those forums the most but I need a much more hardcore racer crowd to tell me what they really think of the site.
By all means be critical to me as I want to improve the page as much as possible to make it 100% useful for everyone.
