Autocross did not make the list? Neither, apparently, did road racing (other
than F1).
Okay, here's the real reason. Those are links to e-mail lists hosted on
YahooGroups. NOT a comprehensive compilation of all e-mail lists. Team.Net
is on Team.Net, not on YahooGroups. Ergo, not listed on YahooGroups' list.
If you are an autocrosser, you find your way to Team.Net. If you are a road
racer, you find your way to Wheel to Wheel (also hosted on a private
server). Compuserve's Motor Sports Forum has an autocross category (and a
road racing category). Very little action there either.
Then again, to show just how scientifically based these Yahoo categories
are, I peeked into a couple of categories. Under Rallying I found:

It may be comforting to know there were no recent messages on that list!
