A LOOK AT ONE GREAT ARTICLE
A 1959 Preview On Lebanon Valley
in the Schenectady Gazette

Schenectady Gazette Archives
This article appeared in the summer of 1959. The interesting aspect is the varied list of drivers mentioned. Unlike
Fonda and some of the other tracks in the area, the Valley was really a mixed bag - a place drivers and teams from
all levels and regions of racing could give it a try.

This is a very wide - ranging area from which the Valley drew cars - particularly in that era of few interstates.
