Carolina Dragway, the house of hook, is 1/4 mile and near the Georgia line. Always hooks good. Wish it wasn't almost a 4 hour drive for me to get there.
Darlington Dragway is nice, 1/4 mile, and track prep is decent. This is where I usually go.
Rockingham's track prep is usually terrible, unless it's a big event. Test and Tune there is a joke as far as track prep.
Fayetteville Motorsports Park is a nice place, 1/4 mile, and has been prepped good every time I've been there.
The weather in December is hit and miss. We've had Christmases when I was wearing shorts all day, then again it's been cold as he11 too.
