1965 - DORCHESTER SPEEDWAY.
Stock Car racing commenced at Dorchester Speedway twice weekly back in 1965. The track was a 4/10 mile Banked Dirt Oval that dropped off along one side into a wooded area, so the rescue crew and officials would often have to drag race cars out of the tree's and up the dirt bank, back onto the track.
The speedway didn't have any problems attracting the fans or even some big name drivers who would race cars owned by local teams. It is unknown as to what year the name of the track changed to Summerville Speedway.
