The Back Story: 

Top Photo: Racer turned lawyer Mark Fluery had himself quite a career at Lebanon Valley, in many aspects.  The son of Arnold Fluery, the inventor of the color television tube (again, probably wrong, but not too far off), and brother to Jeff, Mark was a standout out sportsman runner in the 70’s and gradually moved up to the competitive Modified division in 1978.  Mark scored his first big block win in June 1979, and later went on to become Modified high point champion in 1987.  Mark then took on the thankless job of pit steward at the valley, following Marty Beberwyk’s depature be chief steward at Fonda speedway.

 Second Photo: Mark Fluery and his widely popular Tobias Chassis “Wild Thing” #52, made popular with Rick Fieden’s excellent bright graphics. Everybody’s preparing to do battle in what was either the Syracuse Qualifier or Mr. Dirt Track race.  Alongside Mark is Matt Quinn in the Randy Ross #44 and Orange County regular Richie Eurich in the Countryside Oil #10.
