This page is an extension of our Tribute Website For Dover Drag Strip ( www.doverdragstrip.com) ,online since 2008 .
Our purpose is simple: To preserve and present, through our annual Dover Drag Strip Nostalgia Drags the legacy of Dover Dragstrip, that operated From 1961 to 1976., in Wingdale, N.Y. It has an informative forum, of over 1500 former Dover Fans-Racers and those that share the passion for the Legendary track that operated from 1961 to 1976, in Wingdale,N.Y. At the home page (Top Right ) .if you click on "Galleries", you can access 5000+ photos,donated through the years of 'all Dover shots".The website generated a concept to get the 'gang' back together and race again as in the old days. In 2009 the first "Dover Drag Strip Nostalgia Drags " at Island Dragway was held.The event was expanded to two days, just to get more social time. In 2011, the 'party' was moved to Lebanon Valley Dragway,and was expanded to three days to include 7 'vintage' eliminators , Funny cars -extreme altereds ,vendors and special visiting Nostalgia Groups .Plus a big Rod & Custom Car Show & a Nostalgia Race Car Display were added on Sunday. The Website, page and The Dover Event, are all administrated by "Dino" Lawrence. He was the track announcer from 1967 to 1972, but stayed active til 1974. As the track' PR' guy, he coordinated advertising ,special events ,and designed all the programs, t-shirts,and signage .Many of his original design work (t-shirts-decals-signs & banners )have been recreated at his www.dragstripsgone.com online store. He still does custom motorsports graphics at his Carolina Signworks in Rockingham,N.C. .More 'Bio" info is available at his www.carolinasignworks.com "meet the artists' page.

SO.. The Dover Drag Strip Nostalgia Drags at Lebanon Valley Dragway Got a Little Wet .
Sat. & Sunday of the three-day event got cancelled early, as that mean old nor-easter got the best of us, hitting
the track way sooner than expected. We even thought we’d get the whole day in Sat. Not the first time the Dover Gang got rained on. Funny…. Way back
when Dover was still operating and we rained out, we’d call Howie at Lebanon, and if the sun was shining there, we would head up to the Valley ( our Sister Track )
BUT … The Pits were packed Friday , Am I bummed out ? Kinda. 16-hour ride back, with rain all the way to Virginia.
All the special features we had planned will be back bigger & Better., plus our fantastic sponsors , racers & fans understand, you can’t control weather.
Like the song says: “ Don’t Stop”… thinking about tomorrow ,yesterday’s gone.
Thanks to all that have supported the event over 18 years & the fantastic help from former racers, motorsports companies, fans, friends, and
those that won’t let that little track in Wingdale, N.Y. be
Forgotten. Here’s the “ROLL Call” of the guys that make my job easier to pull this off, all the way from North Carolina.

If any indication from the last 4-5 days.. All the questions you had would have been answeres IF ... you took the time to > SCROOL DOWN HERE. I can't respond to all the questions that ALREADY were Posted to repeat them . I make every effort To Tell You Everything. So Look .
DINO Says: I'm getting ready to drive North This might be the last post. ,comment or messenger responce ,Due to I don't do internet-e-mail or facebook on my Cell phone . computer when its on & I'm logged in >>>Weather ? changes by the hour and just saw storm now moved north .But thats by "models'. Too much presumption from the models like: 'potential'- might' ;possable, 'could' 'looks like' .Can't know anything with out real time radar..Everything can change if it moves 100 mile in any direction, the whole scenerio changes .. Won't real deal til Friday 'as it happens.' Son As Far as Wayne & I are concerned....Fri Looks Good sat maybe something late & and sunday ? -we'll see ."if it comes in or go's north & out. Had one weather guy say no meteorologist can really tell what its going to do. All guess work
I'm Heading to the Track -Be there Friday morning & intend to be there 3 days .
