  United States Grand Prix East - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United States Grand Prix East was a car race which was a Formula One World Championship event from 1982 to 1988 and a CART event from 1989 to 2001.
In 1989, the event ceased to be a F1 grand prix, and was instead sanctioned by CART, North America's premier open-wheel series.
The Grand Prix was discontinued after the 2001 race because there were not enough paved areas on the island for support activities.
