Wednesday Night Racing Returns with Side-by-Side Action at the Valley of Speed
After a week off from racing on Wednesday nights, the racers were back at it with some awesome side by side action on July 8, 2026.

Sun, Spray, and Speed: Lebanon Valley Dragway Delivers Again
We almost did it at Lebanon Valley Dragway in West Lebanon, NY.

Fortunately, the drifting event was well underway through half of the event and as a bonus, they run in the rain so the sixty plus drifters continued their event with a little pizazz of added sprays of water instead of sm

Winners Emerge After Weather-Interrupted Week at Lebanon Valley Dragway
