Racing history is unique amongst sports. The basic concept of racing has remained the same -- get from point A to point B before anybody else does. But unlike other sports, the means and ways it is done is so varied it provides one with so many opportunities to enjoy the sport. Thus, it also spawns a richness of history no other sport is capable of matching.
