In racing we will all witness tragedy and
defeat, but its how we deal with these
adversities. Its how we prepare before the
struggle hits. Its about being knowledgeable
in safety and remembering that its not just
about you. To all who race let us be a
reminder to be safe and remember your opponent
and remember the fans who are usually only
feet away from the action. Let our track be
that reminder to be safe., Be the one who
climbs out of a destroyed race cars and waves
to the fans because you did take the extra
steps when building your roll cage and because
you did tighten the belts as tight as possible
before you run.
Here at "SAVANNAH RIVER DRAGWAY" we strive to
have a safe track and trained safety personal
on hand at all times. So let this be a
friendly reminder to be safe and have fun.
