about

trackmaps.app is illustrated, written, and produced by Steven Chen. When I opted for a week of funemployment in 2008, I went on a roadtrip to visit every Major League Baseball stadium in the State of California. I saw every California team play as well as my hometown Atlanta Braves. If I have one regret from that trip it is that I did not spend the time trying to hit up a track day at every racetrack in California.

This site is inspired by Ross Bentley’s Speed Secrets Track Maps. As Ross says, the track map “is still one of the most valuable tools a performance or race driver could ever have”. trackmaps.app is being designed as the premiere destination for track maps, track notes, event listings, and track records.
