        The closest decent hotels are at the I95/Hwy 21 interchange. Look up Port Wentworth, GA on hotels.com, or whichever of those sites you prefer. About 45 mins from there to the track.

          I've stayed in Statesboro before, lots of hotels around Ga. Southern Univ. and beltway. Less than 1/2 hour to track. Also stayed in Port Wentworth just off I-95, maybe a little further from track but not by much.

            How is the seating situation at Screven. Are there reserved seats? Do you need reserved seats? Do they allow coolers?
            Pennsboro23, I do think they might get 30 cars at Eastbay, but that is about it. But I will go out on a limb and say they get 30 or less. And I'll bet you 2 cheddarwursts and a beer whenever you want at Eldora! You don't even have to win the bet, I'll still buy!

              No reserved seats at Screven. The layout of the grounds there is really unique/odd. Depending on what time you get there they may park you in the front parking area near the highway or all the way in the back near the end of the dragstrip or even outside the fence. You can have coolers. The only thing I don't like about Screven is they don't start on time or even close to on time. If they say they are starting at 7, you're lucky if they are qualifying by 8:15. With the normal night time temps that time of year don't keep me out there all night so you can sell more food. And their usual excuse is well we needed more time for the water to soak in from the water truck. You know your track - either water it earlier or put less water on it. Hopefully with Kelley and his guys there as well as the WoO guys he won't lollygag around all night. I used to go to all the regional & national races at Screven but haven't in a while because we got tired of them starting so late.

                Sounds good! See you at Eldora.

                  dalemcfan, thanks for the info. I think I am going to give it a go. I used to love Eastbay and especially the weather at Eastbay, but I feel like they have gotten complacent. Purses have dropped, car counts have dropped, and admission has went way up. I feel like they screwed up turn 4 at some point. I think they need to add some excitement to the Winternationals, like the bonus money out west or add an invitation only modified race to the program or something. Definitely not what it used to be!

                    Probably best to look for hotels in Statesboro as we have heard that many are sold out in the other areas.

                    roughride please get there early and at least check out the Midgets and Mini-Late Models at Gamec0ck Speedway which is the 1/4 mile track on the same property. Your ticket includes this racing as well.

                    Check out the awesome concession that Screven offers.

                    Also if you are looking for a little time away from the track check out Brown's Country Kitchen back towards Sylvania on Hwy 21 just past the Winery on the right.

                    I promise you I intend to keep the show as close to on schedule as I can. We will be posting the time schedule for each day this week.

                      Thanks for all the info guys. Still debating on leaving Friday or Saturday morning, leaning more towards Friday now knowing theres something semi close bye. I felt so lost last year on those back roads going in and out of GA and SC

                        Kelly my wife and I have been wanting to eat at that place. Everytime we pass it, it seems to be pretty crowded so it must have good food. Has Redd decided about a 2 or 3 day pass yet?

                          The 2 and 3 day passes will be available but more for convenience. They aren't discounted.

                          3 day = $100
                          2 day = $80

                            Thinking about heading down. I've seen the track, but it rained out the night I was going to see a race there.
