Wow, this photo tears at my heart! Look at the
grandstands. I can remember in the 70s when the main grandstand had stadium seats that you
sat in. Not the most comfortable in the world but they were pretty cool at best. I can
remember some nights when those stands were full from end to end. It was standing room
only especially for the '70s championship races and the 80's/90's Lebanon Valley 100. The
infield scoring and announcing tour sits in a pile of weeds along with the infield
concession stand. Who can forget Warren Ruffner calling the races from the tower? To the
left of the infield tower was spectator parking. To the right was the pits. The pits,
indeed! I can't believe how run down the place is, but that will happen since it did close
in 1996. |
