DARLINGTON DRAGWAY

Bruce Springsteen sings about Darlington County in a song and racers from the north head southbound to dragstrips along the I-95 corridor to get an early start on the racing season. But this year they will have to wait a little longer if they want to race at Darlington Dragway as the owners put the finishing touches on a complete rebuild of the racetrack.

Track officials plan for an opening day sometime in April. A new drainage system has been installed and completed that will eliminate seeping water from the track surface a problem many racetracks have in the south. Since the installation of the drainage system there has been extremely heavy rains in the area to test the work. Mother nature's tests have proved the drainage system was a complete success and there is no water seeping onto the track surface. This was good news for the track owners and racers as the long winter has them climbing the walls and ready go racing..

Due to the time it took to complete the drainage report and the install of the new drainage system, the paving and milling date has been delayed. The track is doing everything they can to have the paving company fit us into their very busy schedule.

Bill Wilson, Ronnie Siders, Sam Kearns and all the staff at Darlington really appreciate all your patience and thank you for your ongoing support as many racers have been calling the track and showing up to go racing. "When the track does open, we promise it will be well worth the wait" They said.
