It's the big one behind the Carosel in the picnic area. There are some picnic tables around the "patio" behind the BBQ where people meet, especially the table right under the giant Lite Brite tote board w/ TVs.

I was there a couple times and was trying to figure out which table of degenerates might be the DTers Asked a few people that looked like possibilities, but no luck. Spent race 1 to 5 right across from the Carolina BBQ at a table in the Carousel. Oh well....next time. Might make another day trip.

If I was looking for racetrack comeraderie I woud avoid upper Caroline cuz it don't have any. As a matter of fact, I stopped there after the Velvet Revolver/Alice In Chains show Thursday night and not a one went to that concert. Thumbs down to upper Caroline for anyone not a college student.

So if you want horseracing folks, listen to the advice given cuz upper Caroline is not where it's at yall.
