Exclamation Lebenon Valley Dragway: Destroyed!

http://classracer.com/classforum/showthread.php?t=19358

I haven't had a chance to get up there this year but given my hectic schedual, I did not know it was this bad. I know it has rained alot but this will probably be the end for the drag strip.

Given the damage, they may not want to fix it!

Wow, that SUCKS. I'd been meaning to get up there at least once for a Wednesday night and hadn't made the time. Now I wonder if I'll ever get to make a pass there again. First track I raced at too.

Condolences to the owners and anyone who had equipment damaged. I hope it can be saved.

That has happened there several times over the years, actually every spring it's not unheard of.

Sucks to see, this time of year it definately should not be happening!

They just redid teh whole track this year too

Wait and see if it's really done for or not, they're a good group up there and the track does make $, and the circle track makes the whole facility alot of $... I'm sure the place isn't done for.
