im assuming all the scrap signs/plywood is for a sound barrier of some sort? and that place is narrow too.

I dont really see a problem with it except for the guardrail not being straight. Might cause a car to dance a little more than you want if you get into the wall. You cant really judge a track running pro mods and say its bad for a group of guys like us who are typically all on street tires and have 1000 hp less than these guys.

That video just showed the track better. There are many video's of cars sliding all over the place or wrecking. Those pro mods run 4.7 at every other track they go to. Ther si another video of street cars there all running 9's in the 1/8. They have no lightning at the end of the track, a very short shutdown and the return road was potholed filled gravel road. You also have to go to the tower to get your ticket, lol. The bleachers and rest rooms have been cleaned or updated since the 80's wold be my guess. There is not even a track in SC to compare how bad this track is.

That sounds like a cross between Old Cooper River(get your ticket at the tower) and dorchester(bathrooms haven't been cleaned since the 80's).

North Myrtle Beach Dragstrip used to be worse than that before it was redone and now it stays closed more than open.

The rest of the tracks are 2 hours away, Sealy is about 1:45 min but they are always closed and they dont prep the track anyways.
