I found a few race series that revolve around the border of SC/NC. I am trying to find some racers that have done some of the series to get their recommendations on them. So far I have come up with the different series listed below. If you have done any of these or others could you provide some details on your experience. This will be my first season racing and will start out in the 450D class. I've been all over social media, websites, etc but nothing really showing people's opinions on the series. Thanks for your time.
1. Big Oak MX: Dirty Dozen series
2. Victory Sports Ultra series
3. Carolina Beat the Heat series
4. East Bend Carolina MX series

The ultra series is very spread out and will be more expensive and require more time given the travel. Youll see a wide range of tracks in this series.
The dirty dozen is a good series and runs at three good tracks that are fairly safe.
Beat the heat is held at Motivated Sports, on the night track. It's your standard night track race...tight and short lap times.
East Bend puts on a great series. The track is super safe but it is your standard night race as well (and it gets a little slick after the sun goes down). The owner gives a lot back to the riders and they have a huge turnout.
My best advice is to run your first few races at East Bend to get comfortable then branch out. Ultimately you want to ride all types of surfaces and go to different tracks to race different riders. Just take it slow and keep it fun. My first season was in 2003 and it was by far the most fun.
The Shop
If you look on a map rt5 goes from 77 to 85 and the track Iron City is right by there next to 85. Its hard to figure out when its running but it is a fun track. The track Kathys Creek is who runs it and supposedly they post the the Kathys Creek web site when it is happening. This year both tracks were part of a series.
