Dirt track racing is the single most common form of auto racing in the United States. There are over 1900 racetracks in the United States and Canada.
On many tracks you will find clay is used with a specific mixture of dirt. Tracks are sometimes banked in the turns for a smoother ride around the track. However, some tracks prefer less banked turns because it suits the drivers who participate at their venue weekly. Each track surface will most often be different in one way or another.

“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when.

“We are told to maintain constitutions because they are constitutions, and what is laid down in those constitutions?... Certain great fundamental ideas of right are common to the world, and ... all laws of man’s making which trample on these ideas, are null and void—wrong to obey, right to disobey.

—William Morris (1834–1896)
