You think Orangeburg is bad 99% of the tracks here in TX have full NHRA/IHRA techs before you run. Its been a pain to make my camaro 100% legal but in the end its worth it. I know all the times put together i been to the tracks since I moved here I have seen less cars oil the track down vs one night at dorchester. Here the guys running the track actually wear fire suits, have actual tractors to prep and even a tow truck on stand-by for quick recovery of wrecks.
Orangeburg track could close and not to many people would care. They have a tech but they go overboard IMO alot of times. They were so agaisnt grudge racing when they first opened, I think they run off alot of customers. Plus there track prep is hit or miss. I have left Orangeburg one two seperate occasions when I couldnt hook and went straight to Bowman and cut my normal 60ft times.
Dorchester is one of the most money making tracks in the south IMO but they have the worst facilitys anywhere and payback the least. They make alot but it doesnt go back into the track thats forsure.
Bowman has the right idea, it seems the longer they are open the nicer the place gets. The restrooms are really nice, they had a real food stand, and they prep the track good. Bowman is my favorite track in SC to go to. Not only is the track nice but the people are too. They are thankful and help out when they can.
I think if midway opens back up they will have a hard time competing with Bowman. They will have to spend a ton of money just to catch up to Bowman muchless be better.
