I have not been there in years but understand the track has been completely updated and has alot of outlaw promod races now. Dorchester is a backwoods 1/8 mile outlaw track that is very dangerous if you have any power at all. I raced there back in the 80's when it was built and it was ok back then. It has a very short shutdown with a railroad track going across the end. No bull! Carolina Dragway is located on the South Carolina side of Augusta, GA. and is an excellent track with alot of very fast heads up classes. Then there is Darlington of course!

Next month MMP is the $Million Dollar$ Race. If you are a Grudge Racer Phenix City is the place to go. "To Be The Man'You Have Got To Beat The Man" "T/D and Pro-Bracket Racer"

I've never raced 1/8 before but Orangeburg looks like a high quality track.

Is one better than the other? Savannah River Dragway is another close to beaufort. It is a small 1/8mi test and tune/ grudge race track. It is next to a dirt track. The track is okay but there is a lot of beer consumed there. We take my buddy's maverick for fun and test and tune. It's $15 bucks entry (to drag or spectate all the tracks) and seems to have a fairly consistent starting line. I'm not a fan of the lack of tech or the loud 4 wheelers.

I think we might take it to Jackson "house of hook" next weekend.
