Got this from Yellow Bullet. LVD is getting new concrete starting line pad but not without controversy as one of the cement trucks overturned while pouring the concrete.

"Unsafe speed may have been a contributing factor, in the crash"..
Could there be a new Eliminator in the works?
What should it be called?

Of course, if he was in the right lane it was excessive wheel speed from the utter lack of traction which confused him as he was in a 40 ton vehicle, and he matted it, thus sealing his fate........

If he was in the left lane, it was a excessive wheelstand condition, which since he was in a 40 ton vehicle confused him and he matted it thus sealing his fate.......

I speak from personal experience.....the lil dakota that could has done it all there, but even the HP challenged Gremlin with bias plias spun last year in the right..........

Owners are spending money on track improvements, that should be the story !

Thank you Lebanon Valley for working on the track, and giving us a place to race.

Looks like the track was a little too wet to be racing
