Tracks: Lebanon Valley Ready to Roar into the 21st Century

7 April 2000

WEST LEBANON, NY-April 15, 2000 will mark the 48th Grand season opener at 
Lebanon Valley Speedway. Speedway owner Howard Commander and staff have been 
working hard since the last race of the 20th century making improvements to 
the West Lebanon speed plant.

    A fresh coat of paint has been applied to much of the facility and is 
continuing. Within the next few weeks the track crew will also be inspecting 
the grandstands and making any repairs needed. The grandstands will also 
receive a new coat of paint.    

The novelty booths have been restocked with newly designed items such as 
T-shirts, hats and drink bottles plus much, much more.

    The "World Famous" Lebanon Valley food concessions are all set to go. All 
your favorite food items, French fries, pizza, fried dough, hot dogs, 
grinders, popcorn and ice cream will once again be available at the same 
great prices.

    The racers are all ready to get the new season underway also. The 
racecars are all polished and the motors are ready to roar to life.
    Race time is 6:15pm with the modified heats at 7:00pm. Harry Millard is 
returning as the pit steward for 2000 and the handicapping has not changed 
for the 2000 season.

    All classes with the exception of the IMCA modifieds will be handicapped 
the same way. Opening night, heats and features will be handicapped based on 
the money won from the last three regular season point races of last season. 
Week two will be handicapped based on money won from opening night and so on. 
New drivers and rookies will start in the rear of heats and features for 
their first two weeks only. IMCA modifieds will follow their regular 
handicapping procedure.

L & M Motors and Mane Attraction will sponsor the opening night action on 
April 15th. Adult general admission is still only $8.00 with reserved seating 
$9.00. Kids under 12 are just a buck with kids under 6 free. Seating in the 
glass enclosed, climate controlled V.I.P. tower is just $15.00. Come see the 
greatest racing in the northeast at the greatest track in the country every 
Saturday night.

    The Lebanon Valley Speedway Official Website has proven to be a great 
source for race fans to get the information they need about the speedway.
