Do people research racetracks while "on the go"?
Also, most people are within living distance of 1 or 2 tracks.
They probably already know about them
I don't get the GPS aspect either.
Do you think people will randomly go to a track b/c they were not aware they were driving past one?
I don't see much of a market for this app, but it sounds like a nice hobby project.

Great feedback, thanks. Stuff like this makes me think hard about the app and how people perceive it
Why use the app? People travel. Sometimes they find themselves in places other than their home area and are looking for things to do. Heading to a race track could be one of those things.
Personally, I'm always interested in where tracks are relative to where I am at any given moment.
If you're at the track for the weekend, an app like this can provide education in the form of the track map and videos. Sure, you could search for them manually, but that's the point of niche software - to save you work.
If you're heading to a new track, you can use the app to study photos and videos.
If you're just a track nut, like I am, you have the entire country's tracks in your pocket. I think that's kinda cool.
If you're planning the weekend at the track, you can use the (future) related businesses feature to research hotels, restaurants, etc.
The app will evolve over time to become even more valuable. Its just v1 right now.
Anyways, it will probably be .99 or 1.99, so I'm kinda hoping that's in "impulse" territory for purchases.
