During spring, the weather is perfect and the gravel calls for long rides, good times and great racing.

The goal of Farmland Gravel is to go back to grass roots racing by providing classic courses in the middle of the South Carolina Farmland. Expect long sections of gravel roads, classic farmland scenes, weather and almost no traffic. The Race starts and Finishes at the DNA Motorsports Complex with a festival atmosphere, awards, beverages and a traditional BBQ Lunch(Vegan offering also provided). Wheel Set Giveaway provided by Gulo Composites.
