Eastern Museum of Motor Racing

The Eastern Museum of Motor Racing houses an outstanding collection of vintage race cars and racing artifacts, as well as a research library of rare books, documents, and photos pertaining to the sport of auto racing. It also has a great gift shop full of many great books, video tapes, souvenirs and more. While the museum strongly reflects the popularity of the open wheel, dirt track racing so popular throughout the northeast, you can also see a wide variety of other  racing machines from many other types of racing. These include everything from sprint cars, midgets, motorcycles, Indy cars, NASCAR, drag racing and more!

Just down the road from the historic Williams Grove Speedway, EMMR is located in central Pennsylvania on a wooded hillside overlooking the historic Latimore Valley Fairgrounds and Racetrack near York Springs, Pa. This facility has been passionately restored to it's original 1930's appearance, when the track featured it's famed auto racing on a regular basis. Keep in mind this was all accomplished by the Williams Grove Old Timers, a non-profit organization, relying entirely on charitable donations from it's visitors and membership. 

Now, several times a year EMMR holds events on the fairgrounds where they actually turn loose those wonderful machines from yesteryear. If you love racing, you'll love seeing cars from several decades all hot lapping together around the track. While they don't quite run them wide open, we're not talking about just a couple of parade laps either. Each division enjoys several extended hot lap sessions daily. All we can say is if you don't get a big grin on your face watching these cars circling the track in all their former glory... you'd better check for a pulse!

Anyway... the staff at TheVintageRacer.com wanted to show it's appreciation of EMMR by sharing photos from some of EMMR's events with everyone.
