USAC East Coast Sprint Cars
EASTERN MUSEUM OF MOTOR RACING AND USAC EAST COAST CONTINUE PARTNERSHIP FOR THE 2019 SEASON
The Rapid Tire USAC East Coast Series is proud to announce that their partnership with the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing will continue for the 2019 season.
In 1975, a small group of racing enthusiasts known as the Williams Grove Old Timers, gathered near Harrisburg, Pa. They shared a common interest in the early days of American motor racing and a desire to preserve the history of that bygone era. To serve this purpose they immediately planned the construction of a public museum of racing history to be known as the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing.
The museum is built on a wooded hillside overlooking the historic Latimore Valley Fairgrounds and Racetrack near York Springs, Pa. Along with establishing one the the premier racing museums in the country, the 40 acre fairgrounds and racetrack were also passionately restored to their original beauty. This creates an almost magical atmosphere that makes
EMMR a "living museum". Several times each year EMMR holds public events where these historic cars are again brought to life and can be seen as they were meant to be seen ...On the Racetrack!
Along with these vintage racecars, friends, families, fans and competitors alike reunite to reminisce about the glory days of yesterday. Not only do they relive fond memories and renew old friendships, they create new ones for the generations that follow. Whether you are walking through the museum, the fairgrounds, or the infield of the racetrack, you can often hear first-hand accounts from some of the very men who became legends
in these machines. Become a member of EMMR today and help to preserve that history.
During the 2019 Rapid Tire USAC East Coast season the EMMR will plan to bring a vintage racecar to each race for the fans to see on and off the race track. If the race track allows, and most usually do, the vintage racecar from the EMMR will pace the Rapid Tire USAC-EC starting fields.
One of the two Rapid Tire USAC East Coast Series directors, Curt Michael is very happy to have the EMMR relationship continue. "As I get older, I appreciate the history of racing more and more. I'm lucky enough to be a ten-time Capitol Renegade United Racing Club champion and the URC is filled with a ton of history as the oldest traveling sprint car series in the country. Many URC items can be seen in the EMMR. My wife Jenn and I are happy to be learning more about sprint car racing history, all of which is wingless racing and we are proud to be a part of bringing traditional sprint car racing back to the East on a regular basis."
