Sunday, August 13, 2023 was like a family affair at Lebanon Valley Dragway. After some track drying, racing got underway a bit delayed. In the middle of the day, Mother Nature decided the track needed some washing and provided a quick downpour but that didn't stop racing for the day. The track crew went right to work and redried everything to continue what would be a family affair in one way or the other in most of the classes.
With one more points race to go on Sunday, August 27, racing is heating up and positions are shuffling around which will determine the "team" for the Bracket Finals in September where 14 representatives from Super, 14 representatives from Pro, 5 from Motorcycle, 5 from Sportsman/Street and 1 Junior Street will travel to race at Numidia dragway. Stay tuned for the final results.
