Lebanon Valley

[Larry Hill]

First round of Stock the P/SA car had better 60' than two of the three AA/SA cars.

"Wonder" what was the cause of the 60' being so slow?

Larry
Track temp was approaching 135 degrees and there were bald spots. A lot of high horsepower stockers had trouble first round. I think all tracks should learn for the Bowling Green starting line crew.

Typical Lebanon Valley. If you go up in the tower and complain they’ll tell you it is what it is. It’s been this way for many many years. Either move the race to when the temperatures are more favorable or cancel it all together. The return road is most unsafe of any drag strip in the country and you also have to contend with the circle track on Saturday’s. Just imagine if the TAFC hopped the guardrail on the left side of the track. Factor in the dust bowl parking situation and the flaky timing system. Drop it from the schedule all together. This track is a dump

Dave everyone has a right to there opinion. Personally I've been racing at the Valley since the mid 70's . Sure not perfect but our association ASRA has 3 races a year there and I believe as many other of our members the Valley does a pretty dam good job ! Not perfect but the crew sure does try. Maybe moving the date , but they all can't be spring and fall. Sorry but my 2 cents.

Mark from what I hear the ASRA races are well run and traction isn’t an issue so perhaps it isnt the track or staff. You must admit when the divisional is in town it’s a totally different deal with the shear amount of cars hitting the same spot on the starting line in the heat of the summer when then sun is shining it’s brightest. For whatever reason, track, staff, climate, date, volume of cars, etc this race presents the same problems year after year. Maybe moving the date is the best option. Current course and speed isnt working.

just watched Jeff Tripp, then Jeff Roell blow the tires off in the right lane.
yesterday it seemed like the left side was bad for Super Stockers.
its a shame.
