Hey Guys,

I am interested in getting together some people who live in the NY/MA/CT area who want to go to the drag strip.

Lebanon Valley is in West Lebanon, NY. For reference, I live in the Hartford area in CT, and it takes me about an hour and a half to get there with traffic by the CT/MA border.

Here's some info on the strip if you're not familiar with it:

-1/4mi
-603' elevation
-2600ft shut down area
-on site race fuel pumps

Wednesday nights are test and tune, so no cars with slicks or open exhaust. The gates open at 5pm with racing from 6-10pm and admission is $20 for drivers. Saturday's are also test and tune, and the gates open at 8am and racing starts at 9. Saturday is a little more expensive with $30 for driver admission.


Here are the dates that I want to shoot for (Wednesday's might be better):

Wed. Aug. 6th Street Night Plus Test & Tune & The “King Of The Track” Competition
Sat. Aug. 9th Test & Tune With The DDRA Diesel Drag Racing Assoc. Northeast Points Meet Plus Super Street
Wed. Aug. 13th Street Night Plus Test & Tune

If you're interested, post in this thread, or PM me. As of now, I have a few Bimmers interested (M50 E30, E34 535, 328, 325, and some others who might join) along with a 350z, VF-39 WRX, 9-3, possibly an Evo and a TBE GTI. It would be great to get a nice group going, so let's make this happen.

Alright, so I just sent out PM's to various members on the forums.

I've contacted the owners of:

-540i/6
-S50 E30
-M50 E30
-E36 328i
-E36 325i
-E46 330ci
-07 350z

I'll keep this thread updated as I get responses.

Let's get this going guys!

wouldnt be able to make the 13th but prob could make the 6th, i'll when the date gets closer.

You may have a better response if this was held at the New England Dragway.

It's a great strip, but it's also a 6 hour+ round trip for us CT guys.

Sounds good, keep me posted. I'll be in touch as it gets closer.

I'll look into it, I probably can't because it's like a 3-4 hour ride and my parents probably won't let me go. Maybe I'll find a way though.

def down!

13th

Let's keep this going guys!

So far, the 6th and the 13th sound like dates people would be able to make.

I'll keep everyone updated. I sent out a bunch of PM's today, and I posted similars thread on G35driver and my350z.

It would be great to get a big meet/do some runs with a bunch of enthusiasts.

I just did a search on google maps and it seems that Lebanon Valley is 125 miles from my home while NED is only 75 miles. If there is enough repsonse from members here I may consider going.

FYI we already have a very strong following at NED, in fact a bunch of us will be there Friday. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=593300

How much further is NED than Lebanon Valley for you guys?

We should move this to NED, because I can actually go there!

I will be going for sure.
