Merge - Incorporating Nasa pro racing

both clearly cover the same organization. the pro racing page can be deleted, as the NASA page covers the same material.

Copy-pasted content

edit

Yikes, a lot of this article seems to be ad copy that's just been copy-pasted directly from the National Auto Sport Association website. I don't think it's any problem to use the NASA website as a source for the basic structure of the organization, but going beyond that and using their claims about their products verbatim as encyclopedic text is definitely inappropriate, especially as their website is a copyrighted source. As this seems like a pretty obvious violation of WP:PROMO and WP:COPYPASTE, I am removing it, but this unfortunately consists of a large portion of the article. As this page seems to get little editor attention, I've boldly gone ahead and made these changes, but if anyone sees this as more contentious than I do, please feel free to revert my edits and join the discussion.

Removed the maintenance tags relating to copyvio, advertising, and needing rewritten; now that the copy-pasted ad stuff is gone they are no longer relevant, but what remains of the article is pretty bare so I've noted the need for more sources. Mkcaldwell (talk) 18:05, 20 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
