An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Dirt track racing is a form of motorsport held on clay or dirt surfaced oval race tracks often used for thoroughbred horse racing. Dirt track racing started in the United States before World War I and became widespread during the 1920s and 1930s using both automobiles and motorcycles. Two different types of race cars dominate — open wheel racers in the Northeast and West and stock cars in the Midwest and South. While open wheel race cars are purpose-built racing vehicles, stock cars (also known as fendered cars) can be either purpose-built race cars or street vehicles that have been modified to varying degrees. There are hundreds of local and regional racetracks throughout the nation. The sport is also popular in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and the United Kingdom.

  • Il dirt track racing è un tipo di corsa automobilistica corsa su piste di forma ovale. Nacque negli USA prima della prima guerra mondiale ed ebbe grande diffusione fra gli anni venti e trenta. Dominarono due diversi tipi di corse automobilistiche: a ruote scoperte nel Northeast e nel West e le Stock car nel South. Quelle a ruote scoperte erano costruite per gareggiare, le stock erano automobili ordinarie modificate per la competizione. Il dirt track racing è la forma di gara motoristica più diffusa negli United States. Vi sono centinaia di stadi locali e regionali dedicati in tutta la nazione, secondo alcuni sarebbero addirittura 1500 ma non ci sono statistiche ufficiali. Lo sport è popolare anche in Australia e Canada. Molte delle auto impegnate corrono anche nelle competizioni su fondo in asfalto. (it)

De meeste rijders gebruiken een Harley-Davidson XR 750. Dirttrack lijkt op Speedway en wordt in Amerika ook wel flattrack genoemd. * De Harley-Davidson XR 750 is de bekendste Dirtrack-motor. Dit is een exemplaar uit 1980 (nl)
