schardbody · 02-19-2011, 12:32 AM

Did they update the track this year since they didnt get a chance to last year?

bwelch · 02-19-2011, 03:15 AM

I would have to bet my life savings on no. They need to figure out why the hell the right lane doesnt work worth a shit.

LEE. Many go to bowman. 45 minutes from the house in Summerville. And that is towing

Bowman Rocks,it has a good staff. Orangeburg is a real nice place however a little further out. And everybody forgets about silver street down off the summerton exit on 95 its a real hole but the track works ok if you want to do some passes away from the normal crowd.

freddy231 · 02-19-2011, 11:47 PM

silver is having a 680 and a 580 race tommorow they said they were going to clean the track this past week and have it on kill tommorow. we will see

Darlington and Carolina are the only two 1/4 mile in the state. They both run just about every week-end.

Dorchester runs on Sunday's and Bowman runs on Sat or Sun. and sometimes on Friday nights.
