I never thought we’d get it in on Saturday, August 15, 2026 at Lebanon Valley Dragway in West Lebanon, NY. For once, it wasn’t the weather that had us up against the wall of time but the amount of categories that were racing and the number of cars.

Edward Martelli of Schenectady, NY fi

The Wednesday Street Night with test and tune on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 at Lebanon Valley Dragway started out as a great night and ended a wee bit on the wet side cancelling the final round of Sportsman ET. A night when the weather forecast was minimal for showers or rain, showed up at the end of the night like a freight train and as the last cars lined up for the final, disbursed precipitation ending the night. So, for those still with the question about test and tune o

There was a great night of racing on Wednesday, July 22, 2026 at Lebanon Valley Dragway. Once again the weather service called for rain and storms on Wednesday a week before and people question whether or not we would be running. A reminder to all. Do not go by what they say a week in advance or three days in advance. It’s not always the truth. Needless to say, it was a great night for racing in the street classes and testing for any and all vehicles with and without muffler

The weekend report on events at Lebanon Valley Dragway for the weekend of Friday, July 17, 2026 through Sunday, July 19, 2026 may be a little short but sweet.

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. The weather was great, the track was awesome and everyone got the passes they wanted. Wednesday nights have become popular with those who wish a few quick hours of testing. Racers usually get a minimum of 3 passes in the test and tune lane which is open to slicks or street tires. It’s not a bad deal for $30 if you’re close. Then there are the com

What a weekend!! From thrills of the Night of Fire to a fun filled weekend of wheel standing stockers and bracket racing, the quarter mile at Lebanon Valley Dragway in West Lebanon, NY was on fire. On Friday, June 26, 2026, although the weather forecast for over a week before said rain at almost 100%, they lied.

Starting line crew members are always doing something, from checking cars to clean ups. We decided to add a touch of humor, wearing colorful tutus as they sweep up spills on the dragway even if AI had to help with the costumes. Seriously. Great job to the crew!!! We did it! Well… kind of. On Friday, June 19, 2026 Lebanon Valley Dragway held a track rental hosted by one of our Matco Tools representatives. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t with us for the entire event and a f

If you are looking for a few hours in the middle of the week to put t

We almost did it at Lebanon Valley Dragway in West Lebanon, NY. Mind you, the weather went to blazing, humid and did grace us with a downpour on Friday, June 12, 2026 but it wasn’t until after racing was over, that the sky opened up, and came down the track. 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

Friday Night Testing into the rays of sunshine. Mother Nature loves to play head games with us and the weather forecasters. Is it going to rain? At this point, is it going to snow? Once again the weekend was peppered with spotty this and that.
