Who remembers what all the rage was when Eddie Haenelt called the Valley his home in 1983?  If you answered the sea of black Eddie Haenelt racing tee’s, you’d be correct.  It seems as if everybody had one.  Eddie chalked up three wins at Lebanon, along with a curious Rookie of the Year title after wheeling modified’s at the hard clay before being a LV transplant.  Eddie might also be most remembered for championing the cause of, and running the Buick V-6 racing engines that made the strangest sound out of a race car since the advent of the mini-stocks.

Sadly, at the young age of 51, Eddie was killed while riding his snowmobile just this past winter.
