Indy car racing

While sports car racing is definitely exciting and thrilling to watch, the concept is not really anything new.

It is no wonder then, with the amount of competition that our ancestors gave us, that there is a love for car auto racing.

The very first race that was held in the U.S. took place on November 28th, in the year 1895. The race was held in the city of Evanston Illinois and was only a little over 54 miles. The whole race took over ten hours to finish. This was just the start of what evolved into the car racing phenomenon of today. Since the time of the first car auto racing competition, fans have continued to flock to the car race track venues to show their support for their favorite driver and share in the thrill of the race.

There are many different types of sports auto racing and all of them have their own fan base. Some of them include Indy car racing, stock car racing, Formula One racing and even rc car racing competitions for radio controlled vehicles. Younger individuals can get their start at sports car racing very early by enjoying go kart racing. Truth be known, many of the most famous racers in the car racing business were go-kart racers when they were children.
