Etymology: Racetrackers is the plural of "racetracker," a word formed by adding the agent suffix "-er" to "racetrack," which in turn is a compound of "race" and "track." The sense of "racetrack" as an oval course for horse racing dates to the mid-1800s, and "racetracker" is a derivative of that noun, so its meaning is simply someone who works at or takes part in activity on such a course. The plural adds "-s," so "racetrackers" refers to a group of such people.
