savannah river dragway

wade w · 08-26-2007, 02:02 AM

I went to savannah river dragway last night. for those of you that have never heard of it. It is a drag strip and a dirt track in one spot. yea it
sucks, but its all we have that,s kind of close. it cost 15 to get in because you can go back and forth to both tracks. I just have never cared to have dirt thrown at me. i did see a 4 wheeler with a 600cc CBR
motor on. it was scary fast. truck ran another 8.17.

Where is this track at? Nice run!

Does this facility have a website by any chance? Dirt track oval?

The track is in newington G,A. you would take exit 109 in G,A. the first exit in G,A. then north about 30 miles. its on the left. yes it has a web sight under savannah river dragway. they have pics of my truck on the
sight.

I checked the vidoe out I like how the guard rail on the far side starts about 100' after the start line. I can just imagine someone hitting the end of the guard rail head on.

Nice job Wade

That's a heck of a wall they have set up now, looks intimidating

yeah the track has been redone but still needs alot of work. the dirt gets on the end of the track and the shut down is scary from what i hear.... also the walls still need work.....

where in savannah are you located?

wade w · 08-27-2007, 03:23 AM

I live in Ellabell on hwy 204. I work in Richmanhill. I moved here from
greer S.C. I liked it there a lot more. had 3 tracks close. greer dragway
was the nearest. just 7 miles. but i liked shadyside the best. they had
beter cars and they didnt run bracket cars.

Zacharyx · 08-27-2007, 11:45 AM

Do the staging lanes still go downhill??

wade w · 08-27-2007, 12:02 PM

Yea. they just moved them up a little.

Zacharyx · 08-27-2007, 12:08 PM
