Second Wednesday Street Night at LVD Beats Rain Forecast

Nick Maynard, winner of Sportsman ET

Leave it to the weather forecast to say rain for a week and then when the day comes, the weather is off by quite a bit. That's what happened when Wednesday, May 14, 2025 rolled around. The long range a week before the event, called for a wash out. Then Wednesday morning, scattered showers were called for, south of the track. Reports from all over the Capital Region was showers all day long. As the day went on, the showers split to the east and west leaving Lebanon Valley in a hole of clear skies and guess what? We raced!!

Other than a brief sprinkle that only stopped racing momentarily, the night of racing pushed forward and all classes were finished. In the Sportsman class, Nick Maynard of Schaghticoke, NY defeated Nelson Belot, Jr of Dalton, MA.
