Same as Roxboro format. $75 entry, 100% payback. The only other thing going on that day is a $5K Box race ($75 entry, $10,000 guaranteed purse)

Saturday Nov 3 at Pageland, Sunday Nov 4 at Piedmont. I've made the trip between the two tracks before, and you can run I-85 for the majority of the trip. Didn't take me but around 2-1/2 hrs.

Pageland is located 40 miles NW of Darlington, and about 50 miles SE of Charlotte. There are directions on www.jpdragway.com or you can Mapquest
2380 Peach Orchard Rd
Jefferson, SC 29718

The track is just another two miles up the road from that address.

I live south of Seagrove. I go over through Biscoe and Troy, and take 109 south all the way into South Carolina, then 9 West toward Pageland. Just before you get into Pageland, there's a blinking yellow light and a small 'Airport' sign. I take that left (south), stay straight on that road and you run right into the track. (If you take that road, there is a split in it after a couple of miles that goes to the left -- stay straight) That route is 79 miles for me. 109 is a little 2-lane road, but it cut 16-20 miles off the trip for me, rather than going 220 -> 1 -> 9.

From Piedmont, I took I-85 to Concord/Munroe, then 601S turns right into 151S in South Carolina. Peach Orchard Rd is about 7 miles south of the intersection of 151 and 9 in Pageland, on your left.

There's directions on their website noted in the earlier post, or you can Mapquest it using the address I posted above as well.

Mooresville's track champ, Tim Byrd, told me that he went down there to race a couple weeks ago, and his low 6-sec car was picking the wheels up more than it does anywhere else, running fast, consistent -- and won the race.

MIke Bradley also posted on Pageland's website in the message forums that we are allowed to get in the $10K guaranteed purse Box race. They'll pair bottom-bulb cars as long as they can, and they'll pay a bonus if someone wins both the S/SS and Box races. There's also a bonus for any bottom-bulb car to win that race.

The Box race pays:
$5,000 Winner
$2,500 R/U
$500 Semi's
$150 5th-8th
$100 9th-16th
Entry Fee: $75
Buybacks: $50 (1st OR 2nd round)

The S/SS Combo is $75 entry, 100% payback, no buybacks. I've got a payscale sheet from Tracy Robbins that they use at Roxboro's events. i.e., 20 cars is $980/win, $420 r/u, $100 semi.

The track has its regular test 'n tune on Friday night if anybody wants to go down early, gets some hits on the tree, and park.

Congrats to Jay "Fast car gets the bye, right? " Higgins for winning tonight's S/SS Combo at Pageland. The Cobalt was *nasty* today, running 5.45-5.46 all day, and Jay did his job on the starting line. I broke out by .001 to him in the finals. -- great race! Mike Petrie was the semifinalist, on a .00x breakout on the receiving end of Higgins' .018 and .01-over.

Good job Jaybird! Still want to sell that hot rod? I think NOT!!!!
