The death of a website (Racingreference)
Racingreference.info, a formerly fantastic web archive of results from many motorsports championships, has recently had its comments sections removed entirely by new owners NASCAR. These comments allowed many fans to interact with each other, commenting on real time events as well as supplementing the archived results with lots of detail of races, drivers, and circuits. I think this decision is an appalling one, and hope something of the community there is able to be salvaged. Was anyone else here a user on the website?

OK. That explains a lot.
I often go to that site to check out old NASCAR and Indy Car results (just for fun, not in any professional capacity) and I had noticed the comments link was gone. That is too bad. I found there were often some interesting details added about races or context provided that enhanced the site. |

I just went there to the home page, clicked on the Cup series link and all seems functional there. Just sayin'..... Didnt look for any comments section though if that is the issue. The stats side works though |
