Hmmmm where is it at?? Don't think i've ever heard of that track.




























You will find there is a good number of us that go to ole WS.
And we are looking to do a spring track day there.

[Blacksheep]

Thats a 1/8 mile track rite?

[XSR]

Humm?? WareShoals, let me think. Oh yeah! I've been there a time or two. LOL! Just messing around. To many to count, and they are changing things around a bit for 09'.

[capriracer86]

[bonesgt]

Details brother Greg, Details!!!!

[XSR]

They are putting up concrete walls, and possibly widening the track 2ft ea. side. I hope that means a new surface all the way down, but I dont get my hopes up with them.

[QUOTE=bonesgt;24897]Yes it's 1/8 mile



:thumbsdown2: Gay :thumbsdown2:

Yall need to make a trip to jackson when they open back up! :nanarock: running on a 1/8 mile track, why thats just taking away half the fun, literately. :thumbsup2:

[Star Driver]

Then just carry the front wheels all the way down........:lol1:

Ware Shoals is where that little Honder hangs out.:taunt:

[XSR]

The race is usually won in the first 300ft anyways, so what's wrong with 1/8th? Unless you believe all the fast and furious movies, you don't see to many races won after the 1/8th mile.

I've been down to Jackson before, yea there are a few fast cars done there. But you son, need to make a trip to WS when it opens back up also.
There are plenty of low 5 second rides and a handful of 4 second rides that run at WS.
And like Greg said, the race is won in the first 300 feet, so why waste the gas on the second 1/8 of a mile???:taunt::taunt:

Thats not what that Cuda said after I chased him down at Bristol and passed him! :lol1:

[onebad92]

tellem bones lol i cant wait till they open back up so i can run my car on the bottle if its done **** its taking 4ever lol

True in some cases, but not all. It takes a real car to lead to the end of a 1/4 mile and not just quit after half track :taunt::taunt::lol1::thumbsup1:

X2 :yes1:

Awwwww, whats wrong, not enough gear to finish out the rear???:taunt::taunt:

A few fast cars??????? U must have gone on a off night, i think u need to go down there when "killin time" is down there, he totes tires past the 1/8, haha.(that is of course if he dosent flip in over on the roof again rite past the 60ft) Nah, Orangeburg is a popular 1/8 mile track around here, ive gone there a couple times, but not a big fan of the 1/8.

[Silver91Hatch]

Bones has plenty of gear for the 1/4 mile.

[93fakesnake]

I've been to both and dont get me wrong I like the 1/4 mile but I would rather drive to W/S to run 1/8 than Jackson for the 1/4

[XSR]

Racing is first from start to stop, so it does'nt matter if it's 1/8th, 1/4 or 1 mile. I have raced the 1/4 mile plenty of times(bristol, commerce, jackson, street, etc....) I don't miss anything when I run the 1/8th. It's just easier on parts, and safer.

[bonesgt]

Greg, you need to get busy talking to them (WS) about our spring track day!!!!
Then we can see who is faster; the Upstate, Cola, NC, or GA SEFB members.......
What ya think about that??

[Blacksheep]

O im not sayin one is better than the other, i just prefer 1/4 mile than 1/8, i also like the left lane compared to the right.......

Now that sounds lke a good plan

[XSR]

I can dig it! LOL! PM me with what your plans/thoughts are, and I'll proceed.

[Silver91Hatch]

Well if its going to be a state/region battle, we need a street legal car (DOT tire, etc) class, and a race car class, power adder class, etc.

[T91hatch]

no classes,lets just show up and have a good time.set up some grudge race for whoever what's to prove something and let's have fun!!

That sounds better. Too much work to set up all that. Just call someone out and run what you brung and hope you brought enough

[onebad92]

I like the idea of that i have never run 1/4 mile they aint one close enough for me to run so ill stick with 1/8

[T91hatch]

it is too much work!and this way everybody can just have fun and then the faster cars from each group and all run against each other to which area has the fastest fox!!!!

[JSTA302]

I live 25 minutes from Ware Shoals and the hubby and I race there every weekend- missed 2 Friday nites last year, when we were racing in Commerce, and Bristol. I love Ware Shoals - every track is gonna have pros and cons- but for me and my hubby we have better 60 ft times and et's at Ware Shoals compared to Greer, Jackson, Bristol, Commerce any where- maybe it's because we are so use to it- but I fully support my hometown track and I think it shows by racing there EVERY weekend as compared to people who just come on big race days. You should definately come check it out sometimes. ROBIN :)

[bonesgt]

Johnny and I road by there yesterday, and they are doing some improvments on teh track. Looks as if the lanes are going to be at least 3 foor wider now.

[JSTA302]

I've been watching the progress as well- great saftey measures-

[Wayne's 88 GT]

Heck ya I'm down for a track day at WS..........no chance of a bracket class?? lol

[cobra_4]

Track day, track day, track day!

[onebad92]

when do they open back up aint it march

[NOTCHED]

They reopen the 3rd Saturday in Feb...February 21st

[Sphinxmunkey]

Sounds cool, how far is it from the harbison area?

I've only been to a strip once and it was hella fun (the 1 pass I made before my harmonic balancer grenaded my block) then watching the other cars... :patriot:

And got a 2.3 60' time... yeah noobiiieeee didn't realize there was a big water puddle till after I got home and my best friend told me, I was like, fk you for not coming and telling me sooner lol... spun through 1st, 2nd, 3rd... LOL (in my 5.0, after all of my turbo probes were sold :))

Good fun but it was in rockingham NC and that was a 2 hours drive for me.

Since then I've wanted to go play on a track and get my launches down... My brother is friends with a girl whos uncle owns orangeburg or some nonsense so I might go up there with him if he ever gets a 5.0.

But with SC and NC probe owners we rented the 1/4 mile track out for 2 hours before they opened for T&T night for about ~20 of us for about $35 a person I believe... 35 to race or 15 to watch or something was how they set it up, and we got the track for 2 hours before normal customers came with only about 15 cars running for 2 hours, plenty of passes.

Always wanted to do it again... with a new mustang :sad1:

ummmm........wow :lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1:

you gatta do a burn out :taunt::taunt:

and u dont really need the water box unless u on radials or slicks :patriot:

But hey its cool dude, we all make mistaks, my first time on the track i left my windows down. and i rolled them up the next pass and ran 3/10's faster. haha

[NOTCHED]

Sounds cool, how far is it from the harbison area?

81 miles from Wild Wings where we'll be havin' our G2G on the 17th...here's door-2-door directions for ya'! :) http://tinyurl.com/9d5d62

[Sphinxmunkey]

lol yeah I was oblivious and didn't even know there was water there until 2 DAYS after I got home and I was laughed out of the room by my best friend...

That's a little far, like I could probably be in Darlington in less than 2 hours lol

But if theres a good gathering of SEFB (or if we rent the track for a bit) I'm all up for some :pray: my car takes me there :3gears: and home... lol

[onebad92]

they open up sooner than i though thats even better for us aint it lol:yes1:

[Wayne's 88 GT]

I'm down for making some runs at WS........just need to find me a helmet first.....or do they not need one on cars that run over 9 in the 1/8?

[Quinn]

let me check in my building i might have a helmet you can have. I use to always carry a helmet in my car just in case

[Sphinxmunkey]

Oh, yeah good call, whats the safety requirements... lol

Have to make sure if I'm down, for going up, that I don't get there and not be able to run hahaha

[badluckpony]

the honda lol at w.s the car is fast but look at it big tire car. well half a car big ass motor runs what high 4's low 5's. when you have some 10.5 cars that can run with him.

[BadMoFo]

been to ws a couple of times. to be honest (going to catch hell for this one) I like Greer better. :p

and as far as 1/4 and 1/8 mile I also prefer the 1/8 even though it was easeir to run down people in the 1/4 when I had the 03 cobra. I ran jackson and commerce. jackson strait up hooks but always seemed to have more fun on the 1/8 mile track.:thumbsup1:

at the rate I am going the fox wont be ready for a track pass for about 3 years:sad1:

[crumbie]

should be at shoals a few times this year - running my heap and driving a friend's car. i'll try to post up when we go in case other's wanna head out.

wayne's 88 GT - yeah you'll need a helmet regardless. i have a spare if you're ever heading out there - it's just a helmet for a four wheeler but it will do the trick.
