Lebanon Valley Flooded
Lebanon Valley is having the worst flooding it has had in many years. If you have equipment on the grounds I would go there ASAP. The staff and racers were moving trailers as best they could in waist deep water to higher ground,however the water was a foot deep at the clubhouse when I left. Rt 20 is closed at Nassau from the east from a washout.

Re: Lebanon Valley Flooded
If everyone can wait a few hours, Wayne and I will have a decision made. I am hearing some unimaginable things about what its like there.........
But as with any information, we are waiting to get confirmation, and make a relaible call on what we will do. We want to give a heads up as soon as we can to save people time and money, but we also want to support the track and managment that has supported us! Scott Hall 203-689-4010 at work today |

Re: Lebanon Valley Flooded
I just got off the phone with Wayne Hofmann, who just spoke with Howard Commander.
Here's The Real Facts: -The barriers are "floating" in the middle of the track -Part of the shut down is missing from the water taking it away -The gas company had to come and removed all the propone tanks before some bad happened -The concession stands are under water -If you know where Wayne Hofmann parks his RV.........the water was up to his WINDSHEILD WIPERS....he's on his way now to check it out -Howard has an excavation crew on call to start repairs when the two feet of water is off the track At this time, the weekend is cancelled, and nothing can be determined until everything is looked at, so any future make up is not evena priority at this time. Keep Lebanon Valley in your thoughts this weekend.....Howard spent a bunch of money to improve things, and now this. Scott Hall |

Re: Lebanon Valley Flooded
Holy cats! This is terrible news.
I was just there for the divisional race and was impressed with how nice the track, personnel and grounds were. Lebanon Valley is in my thoughts and prayers too. Please keep us informed. |

Re: Lebanon Valley Flooded
We just want to say thanks to the Lebanon Valley crew, our fellow racers, speedway racers, and owner Howard. Everyone pitched in and saved our equipment except for very muddy trailer floors the race cars were intact. Once again thanks. Our thoughts and prayers to those who lost equipment.
