So gay, that track always has an excuse why they cant start racing on time during rental days.

This could wipe them out for the remainder of the season...I was told that the river beside the right hand lane has come right up over the track in places. Could've wiped out all the electronics as well and eliminated any profit they made over the summer. Not good. They say NH International Speedway in Loudon is pretty much flooded out, as well. Haven't heard anything regarding NED, but many towns in that area really got huge rainfall amounts also. WJ

Warren, your right. LVD had ongoing issues with the right lane this year. At the last track rental they had to shut down the right lane. Water comes down the right side and seeps past the concrete walls, gets the track just wet enough where they have to shut down the lane for the day.

Head for Jersey. That's where all the bragging rights ET's come from this time of the year anyway....There will be many NHRA Stock and Superstock records set and re-set over the next few weeks at Atco. It's just a long and expensive ramp truck ride home if you drive down to run and be unlucky enough to break. Trailering down is best and WAY less stressful. WJ

Lebanon Valley. Key word being "Valley" = low point! They are getting all the run off from the surrounding areas. I know the area well, I have a summer house 20 minutes from LVD. They are pretty much fucked till next spring.

Shoot, well I was hoping to make LVD for the last weekend of the season. Sucks for the money racers, the King of the Hill shootout was next weekend. I hope they can get it back up and running.

Looks like they're ok. There's a message on dragway.com that the waters cleared and they'll be racing this weekend (though its going to rain). So might not be as bad as we thought.
