Why isn't there a "track" newsgroup?

As Subject says.. why isn't there a track-specific
newsgroup?

It could either be focused on track riding/racing
or it could be a "fixed" newsgroup about all
fixed gear bikes - but then you'd get fixed mtb
riders as well.

I'm just wondering because cyclingforums.com
has a track group.

How do groups get created anyway?

I venture to say it's covered by rec.bicycles.racing since people
don't tour or commute in a velodrome.

Yeah, I guess so. RBR is so full of noise though!
I used to read it but haven't for a while now...
What about rec.bicycles.racing.track ?

You'd find opposition coming out of the woodwork.
Witness alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent Why's that ya figure?

Then you get hauled around in the config and admin newsgroups by the
geekiest fux anywhere.

'Bob' bless alt.* and the servers that carry them.
