Live from Lebanon Valley-NHRA Lucas Oil Series
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 .

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 .

Re: Live from Lebanon Valley-NHRA Lucas Oil Series
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 .........
