Racing has been around for over 5 000 years. People have raced by foot, horse, chariot, carts. The ancient Greeks had foot races as part of the Olympic Games. Chariot races were regular events for Rome as well as horse races. The English in the 1800's often had steeplechases with betting. Man has always raced against other men for fun and money. Car races began in the early 1900's along with motorcycle races.
