Being built as part of the South Carolina Motorplex by Justin Hinson. Word I’ve heard is same classes as Sumter speedway. Still a ways to go on getting the track finished. At least based on the last photos I seen which were around April.

3/8th mile track
Sounds like the 1 time I was able to go there. Didn't happen to be a WOO race that Fergy won was it?
*won't let me quote but that was in response to BBQ in post #56
So what is the bad history of Friendship? The claim that the track new owners wanted clean the place up? Well, a shooting by a federal felon black male one year ago, fights, rude people, tax dodgers, trashers. Sounds like it was written by a female who had to blow off steam and did not know how to run a track. All of those issues are easily handled.....Never seen anything like that kind of mess around this part of the South.
There really is no "bad history" of Friendship, no different than any other track. I guess the promotor did not appreciate a person spitting in his face and finally had enough. The track is theirs to do as they wish, I know the promotor well enough to tell you that he had all intentions of creating a great place for the racers; just did not realize how much crap he would need to deal with and it was more than he was willing to accept. We all have what we will tolerate and how far we can be pushed, he found his. Hopefully we see it back soon, as the other track in that area of NC seems to be gone as well (311)....
311 got fd….by one guy and one guy only.
Yes jlacy, that was the one that fergy won….but wasn’t the only highlight for my experience that night.
He sure did. I couldn’t wait to get there to see how the racing would shake out every week….all the classes had great racing……it’s cool to hear from a driver that has raced a bunch of places how good Dublin really was from your perspective…. the fans always knew it.
Even when I didn't have a car at Dublin I would ride over with Blankenship because I thought the place was great. We were always late and Larry was always wide open.... Always had to be careful and avoid the rattlesnakes in the pits...
