i was asked to list/say some things about EMRA aka eastern motor racing association...
emra was formed in the 60's by folks who wanted to get away from the "stuffiness" of the scca....it has always run under the motto "racing as it is meant to be" we run races and time trials at tracks throughout the northeast...in the time trials any safe car can run (converts do need a roll bar though)........no special equipment is required...........on our site we have a checklist or pm me for tips if you would like to attend.......
for the trials you need to buy a yearly license for $20..as a rule at most tracks the entry is $160, but slightly higher at lime rock and the glen (they keep hiking rental prices..we are a non profit org)
what do you get? well at least one if not 2 classroom sessions and a private instructor if you want (yes i am one of them, also instruct for several other groups). you get 3 1/2 hour track practice sessions then we give you 3 flying laps while being timed.
whatta ya win? hopefully a neat 2 dollar throphy, new friends and the time of your life. these are simply the nicest folks you will ever meet... they took me under their wing in 1970, a skinny 19 year old who had this itch to race...still love em today
