Live from Lebanon Valley-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Jack Matyas]

After a five hour uneventful tow thru the beautiful New York landscape I'm finally pitted here at Lebanon Valley Dragway - and a nice spot in the Diamond RV Compound to boot . I'm told tech is open for a few hours yet and the test n tune is slated to start sometime after 3pm .I'll be back then hopefully with some testing news and a who's who .......later .

Very cool. I was wondering if anyone was reporting there this weekend. I'll be there videoing tomorrow and Saturday. Hopefully can stop and say hi sometime this weekend.

For races attending the LVD divisional this weekend, Stop by the "30th Anniversary ASRA Sponsor Sign" and help yourself to a bottle of "Cold Ice Water" in the BIG White "Coffin Cooler".

Well - the test n tune is just about over- for those of you who missed it you didn't miss a thing - hot & ugly with a headwind .......nice combination for going slow .Our man Marc La Brecque - the race sponsor got into another competitors water and just missed him while spinning around - he had minimal damage to the his GT truck and with a little banging out on the sheetmetal and some new rubber he's good as new .

Tommorow looks good .........ClassRacer will be there for you .Has anyone seen the boss ? I heard he was here but ..........no sleepy pictures this weekend for me .

Good morning --- And Brrrrrrrr - this was a get up and turn the furnace on deal as the temperature is a bit nippy at 55 degrees . With plenty of humidity - 66% - ( that will more than likely burn off ) and no barometer (29.2's ) its again not going to be a fast day but at this moment we have a final DA at under 1200 ' .

We'll start this race in a couple of hours .........The boss is here and both of us will get you some pics ......

One last thing - Marc LaBrecque fixed his truck with the help of Mark Markow (owner-Markow Race Cars ) and made two very clean check-out passes before the test n tune shut down last evening .Well done boys .........
