Dorchester is great. Owners of the track are great people. RR tracks at the end of the track, few hundred feet past the end of the shutdown. They shut the track down anytime a train goes by just in case someone needs more room than the shutdown to stop.

Don't worry about all the betting, it is 10x more entertaining than pinks. Thats all it is, entertainment.

Thats a ride, dorchester sounds good hows the track. I heard there are R&R tracks in the middle of it is that true

You jump the RR tracks at midtrack. It's fun. Just kidding Chris.

+ all the brothers out there placing bets kinda make me nervous. ( not to offend anyone)
Mike is right. I have heard guys say that "Pinks" is fake. I promise you, everything that you see on Pinks, and then some, goes down at a real grudge racing track. My best friend stands at the starting line at Lowcountry Dragway and does the "dollar bet" thing with his buddy on every race.

Dorchester is a great track in my opinion. I've gone there in the past way more than lowcountry and have never had a problem. I usually run better times at dorchester as well. Like mike said earlier the owners and people who run the track are great people. There is a lot more interesting street-car racing going on there as well.

This is def. where i will be going when lowcountry closes.

I agree. The first time I went to dorchester was on a "big" night and we had to park in the field on the end. I didn't know what to expect but I have not had a problem out there.

The only time I go to Low Country is when I am board and some of you will be up there (I have only made maybe 6 or 7 passes down that strip in the rice-box..total).

Otherwise, I go to Dorchester. I run better times there, more street cars to run with, more isht-talking (not directly..just in the background), and hardly any breaks in street car action except for the occasional train and money race. Taking that all into account, you'll get way more runs in at Dorchester.

They are also less strict about helmets and don't require you fill out a questionnaire and walk it to the tower.

There is a VP dealer that comes up there and sells gas out of his trailer.

I think your best bet is to go by Bouchillon and get some there. Bouchillon gives you a discount the more gas you buy.

You can also buy race fuel at the Gas Station in Goose Creek next to Parks. 110 Octane Leaded for 5.99 per Gallon. Make sure you don't have Cat's running leaded fuel.
