Friday & Saturday Awesome Races with Sunday Cut Short Due to Weather at LVD

Friday, July 18, 2025 started the weekend under the lights on a warm summer night at Lebanon Valley Dragway with an open track rental with 1/8 mile gamblers races in electronics and non-electronics. Saturday followed suit first thing in the morning with Bikes in the Valley along with Port-A-Tree gamblers races in non-electronics and electronics and the second race in the Junior Dragster Summer Series. Sunday was a humid day that started off and we were able to get through a few rounds of racing before the lightening started to strike over the hill and the winds picked up. Not too long after the skies opened up but only after the races were called off and everyone had the opportunity to get things put away.
