Little Valley Speedway got their second night of racing in Saturday, June 7.  Here are some photos captured by RacewayJay.

E-Mods take the green for the first heat of the evening with clumps of mud in he foreground.  About 4 PM, after the track had been fully watered, a storm dumped s lot of water on the grounds, causing a delay in preparation that set back the starting time to 7:30.

 

Racing through turn two, E-Mods are led by Al Brewer, Rich Michael Jr, Ryan Bright, Dave Hess Jr, and 3K. (As usual, if I have someone incorrectly identuified in a caption, please email me. jay@racewaymagazine.com
