Default Attention Track Drivers

“On any given track event, there are probably dozens of people with onboard cameras, and another half dozen taking pictures from the side of the track. So, the chances are, there are probably pictures and videos of you somewhere on the internet. These media files are most likely scattered on the countless car forums out there. Even with the popularity of YouTube and Google Video. These footages are next to impossible to search for because most often time they are filed incorrectly. I often come up empty handed, searching on the internet for photos/videos of the event that I attended. Wouldn’t it be nice and convenient to have a central website where these track day photos/videos can be organized? Well, I created a site (trackHQ.com) hoping to accomplish just this. The galleries on trackHQ.com are organized by Region à Date à Track à Track Organizer. This will make the search very easy for anyone looking for photos/videos of a particular event. Along with galleries, there are discussion forums for everything else related to HPDE/Track Events. Also, there are forums for each race track in your region where you can discuss on how to go faster at that particular track. Track templates are provided where you can draw your racing line for discussion with others in your region. And if some of you want to organize private track days, you may do so under your regional forum. This site is brand new. Please feel free to post your suggestions and comments. And while you’re visiting, please start contributing to the galleries by uploading or linking your past track day photos and videos on this site. And if you see people with cameras at your next track event, please let them know about this site. Together, we can build an organized archive for everyone to enjoy. Thanks”

This site just barely came online. Hope you folks like the idea and can start putting photos and videos up there. I already uploaded and organized my small collection in the California region. Check it out here: http://www.trackhq.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=11

If people just tagged (or even geotagged) their videos, it'd be easy. But I guess most people won't know what tags are for another 10 years or something.
