right i know it was a points race (thats why i was there) but it made me wonder why nobody ever runs out there, its like 10 minutes further than dorchester.
i was there with Ronnie Freitas who ended up putting a good friend out in the semi's and then taking the win at the tree in the finals in no box. |

Very nice track and really not strict on the rules. They just make sure the basics are there. Nova put me out and i bought back in. We are pretty even i think i have put him out as much as he has me.

I understand safety comes 1st but It cost to much to get there just to find out. Best time to go is during a grudgefest because the tech guys wont spend alot of times on each car. |

it takes me about 20 minutes to get to dorchester, maybe 15. last night we got to Orangeburg in about 40, so yeah i was exaggerating but its worth the drive in my opinion. i do live right off the jedburg exit so i'm sure i'm closer than most of you.
daryl you run box or no box? |

you must not live close to town, it take me about 45 min to get to bowman from summerville, and orangeburg is about 20-30 min further than that

Orandeburg is not bad on tech. They just have a tech inspection. Which hurts people who just want to throw something together and come to the track and screw it up for everybody else.

If you think Orangburg is strict dont come to Texas and race. 99% of the tracks here have full NHRA tech. I got kicked off track for coasting through 1/4 at 9.97 at 100mph for my cage not being certified.

Tech isn't bad. Just need the basics as stated. Nothing out of the ordinary, but it takes me about an hour to get there towing.

how fast are you going? we were in a full size chevy with 37" tires and no speedo correction, so i have no clue how fast we were going. most of the time i looked over it was near 70 so its possible we were going pretty fast. google has it at 1hr 10minutes from my address and dorchester is right at 30 minutes so i guess yall are right, it is a good bit further.

I usually go 75. It's right at 40-45 to bowman for me. 37s with no speedo correction is at least 10 off, probably close to 15
