I have to say Mike that was a pretty impressive post. I don't think anyone has typed that much since, well, me! It's amazing how the words fly off your fingertips when you've REALLY got something to say, isn't it?

Eddie - Lebanon Valley certainly isn't Route 66. The pits definitely leave something to be desired, but so do Maple Grove and Columbus. I guess I would say just be prepared to have your stuff get dusty...unless it rains then its muddy. But, it's better than the alternative (not racing), right?

I've never experienced any thefts there, but maybe it has gotten worse over the last couple of years. This is a rural area of NY, not Cleveland where all the hoodlums hang out.

All that said, if possible I would pick a different race to take the wife to unless she likes the races because there really isn't much around there. Like I said above, it's a rural area of NY.

If you go, have fun, and good luck to everyone out there!

Glad I decided to stay home . ....sounds like a repete of several years ago, heavy rain and not enough drainage equal a crash by the first pair of SuperStreet cars to go down the track! ....Eddie, I hope you decided to stay home and barbeque! .....hppefully no one else has to sacrifice their equipment to this s**t hole......Tom

I am home this weekend hanging out with friends, Building a Swing Set for my son and not thinking twice about that Lebanon....HATE IT!

I would have won the ALLSTARS in 2005 by teching at LV
I would have won the ALLSTARS in 2007 by teching and going 1 round at LV
I STILL AM NOT GOING!

F**K that hole, lets see when the people from Pinks at LV would have rather handed the keys over to their car than run down that surface, doesn't that tell ya something....and besides it is a holiday weekend. Think of all the BBQ's you miss by going there.

HEY NHRA D1 (Dave Mohn, Bob Lang).....I know you are reading this.......GET RID OF THIS RACE.....lets have it ANYWHERE ELSE have 2 divisonals at MG like Atco has...... or maybe 3 races at Atco.(maybe a different weekend) Delmar was better than this dump

sounds like a nice place........

Tom,

Who crashed? I'm assuming everyone is OK?

[Tom Goldman]

Heard it was Annalice Lachappel , sorry ,I'm not sure of the spelling. ... She's been racing S/ST for several years. ......Rock, Chris hits the nail on the head when it comes to this place. ..... When we first came here, Vince Barletta did a great job trying to make it a good track, but after his death several years ago the track reverted to the owners, whos prime interest and money maker is the dirt oval track. ......

Someone needs to come up with an answer to this "water weeping up" problem that is happening more today than at anytime in all the years I've been racing. I was at Lebanon Valley a few times and had no problems at all there. My dragster loved the place and I went 4 or 5 rounds at the first race I attended there. That same year for the Lucas race was the one where Mark Butler crashed his S/ST car and that was just plain ugly and it took most of the day to get a decent dry track. Island dragway is now having this water weeping problem pretty often and I read about it happening at Norwalk and again at Lebanon Valley. We have also sat for quite a while at Maple Grove for the same issue... ........I like that L.V. race, we have a lot of fun up there if the weather behaves but I too am VERY glad I did not go this weekend.........

I went ,,, 8 hour tow !!!

Had a great time for the exception of Running 9.895 in the second round ( took to much stripe - .05 , still getting use to driving the stripe with the big block ! )

Met the Ice Cream maker , Made a new friend from Jersey ( WMS Racing , saw a lot of old friends !!

Over all the track is not that bad , as someone had posted previously , I've run on worst , the shut down is longer than Norwalk , they gave me a great Pit spot with the T/S racers , the racers wer great the hotel was expensive , and overall I would go again if the Div. 1 guys wasn't so tough on out of Divison racers

The best part is if you go and read Mike Sawyer's post he almost describe the weekend to the T in advance !!

Thanks all you Div. 1 folks for making me feel really welcome ,, I'll see you at the Sportsman or Maple Grove .
