And we thought Lebanon Valley was a haul.

WOW....NHRA & NED, boy does that bring back some memories....first time ever on a race track back in 1969

I lived in Hampstead at the time and then moved 10 minutes away in Raymond NH where I bracket raced a 72 Challenger for a number of years prior to relocating to Floriduh.

Glad I decided not to build the Crate Motor Stocker....

They've been talking about this for the last few years......Supposedly, NHRA wanted some dimensional sideline changes, plus a few other things. They must've finally come to agreement. Personally, not so sure it's a good thing......opinion only, but I've grown to like New England Dragway the way it is..... Does that mean that Lebanon Valley will be losing the NHRA sanction and their Divisional race?

VERY welcome news! WJ - I doubt there'll be any changes at LVD so we'll have 2 LODRS events within a reasonable driving distance. If you'll recall, NED and Connecticut used to be NHRA and both hosted Divisionals back in the day.

What ever became of Smiley Smullen who used to run the track ?
I think he also ran a B/ED in Comp... :-)

I thought Bruton Smith was building a drag strip in N.H. If so ,what will happen to New England then ???

W J · 08-04-2010, 07:00 PM

Yes, I surely am old enough to remember that, Bob.....

Also raced at the Orange, Ma Airport.....one of the earliest NHRA tracks on the eastern seaboard.... WJ

Danny, Bruton's engaged in a battle over pay rates for police work at the Nascar track right now.....who knows, he may pick up his shiny little marbles and go home.....already threatening to pull one of the cup races out of NH if they don't give him his way......LOL. WJ
