2020 USAC EAST COAST SPRINT SCHEDULE SET
By: Nick Fillman
The 2020 Rapid Tire USAC East Coast Sprint Car Series schedule is set. Bigger and better than ever, in the series third year, a slate of races across a variety of different tracks in 6 different states will give drivers a diverse opportunity to race in front of many unique fan bases.
The series will kick off on April 3rd, at the Williams Grove Speedway, and will close at the Georgetown Speedway on October 2nd. Multiple stops to the Bedford Speedway, Big Diamond Speedway, Georgetown Speedway, and Delaware International Speedway are all a part of the series.
The Grandview Speedway will also make its return to the series schedule in 2020 after a successful debut in 2019. The Series will make 7 trips to brand new tracks in 2020 as a testament to the growing nature of USAC racing on the East Coast.
Also, the series would like to welcome back Rapid Tire Services to the series as its leading sponsor for the 2020 season!
Rapid Tire is a family owned and operated business. It has been since 1979, when Aldo Tersillo started the business in Brooklyn with his son, Tom. Two years ago Tom's children, Bobby and Alyssa, took over and moved the business from Newburgh to a 12,000-square-foot facility on 661 Route 17k in Montgomery, NY.
Bobby and Alyssa take the time to please the customer, especially when a classic car rolls in. Rapid Tire can get whitewall tires and other tires specifically for vintage cars from the Coker Company. They also carry mudders and tires for fork lifts, tractor trailers and construction equipment like backhoes and loaders. They also offer road service.
The large Rapid Tire warehouse and work area allows them to service tractor trailers and they can fit around six vehicles at a time. The new showroom has a waiting room and a display of the many brands of rims they offer, including Foose, Crager, Fuel and more. There are rims for all vehicles, whether you have a classic or an import, pick up or a tractor trailer.
Rapid Tire is a rare breed - small business, and family owned. While being busy with running Rapid Tire along with his sister Alyssa, Bobby Tersillo also runs his own 360 sprint car, with a wing and possibly without a wing.
