South Carolina

I'm considering relocating to Beaufort, South Carolina and wondered if anyone could recommend Orangeburg or Dorchester as good places to race.
Is one better than the other?

That would be Tom Gould's backyard...maybe he'll pipe up?

I've been to Orangeburg a couple of times. Nice track, great traction, safe, and very friendly folks. Highly recommended. Wish they had an IHRA Pro Am.
Not sure on Dorchester, never been.

Thanks guys.
After doing some research Orangeburg seems like a very good track in spite of the stiff $60.00 entry for the No Box Eliminator.
I guess it keeps the "riff raff" out.

Frank, I've heard nothing but good things about Orangeburg. Dorchester, not so much. My SC racing has been limited to Jackson (105 miles) and Darlington (170miles).

Thanks Tom.
