The Northeast is an area rich in history. We have the Washington’s Crossing, the Liberty Bell, and the Battle of Gettysburg. For race fans… the history in this area goes even further. We have some of the most historic tracks in the nation that range from dirt ovals, to asphalt, to drag strips, and more.
Keeping this history alive is the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing. According to their website, “Back in 1975, a small group of racing enthusiasts called 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.”
In line with the group’s goals, Wade Palmer has made it possible for a vintage car to be at EVERY USAC East Coast Sprint Car show. There will be a different car at each event, and some shows the car will even be able to pace the field.
The United States Auto Club has a rich history as well, and for the two to come together in 2018 is simply magical. Here at USAC-EC we are incredibly thankful of EMMR and their meaningful contribution to our series.
