Back to Racing School with EMRA Time Trials!

1 hour 29 minutes

A little over 50 years ago, a few local car clubs joined together with the vision of building a better place to race in the Northeast. Since then, Eastern Motorsports Racing Association, better known as EMRA, has grown to become one of the premier sanctioning bodies on the East Coast. EMRA’s wheel to wheel racing series is designed to deliver close, competitive racing for cars of all makes and models. And their goal is to provide top competition without sacrificing any of the enjoyment – EMRA members race hard and always have FUN!

Join us for this 3-part in classroom Racing School presented by Crew Chief Eric of Gran Touring Motorsports.
