The pattern was thus set from the very first race that victory would always be hard-earned at Darlington. The track soon became a favourite with the drivers, partly due to its difficulty, partly due to its long length compared to other ovals of the era and in no small part due to its ambience. Darlington was the place a stockcar driver wanted to win and the Southern soon became a season highlight.
The only thing the circuit lacked was high speed; the narrowness of the racing groove allied to the relatively shallow banking of the final two turns resulted in average speeds which barely crept above 75 mph.
At the end of , the circuit was reconstructed with steeper banking in turns thre and four, greatly increasing the speed. The reconfigured circuit was remeasured under a new system, which took the track length from the banking rather than the apron, leading to a new official lap length of 1. Having set his circuit on a firm footing, Brasington sold his shares in Darlington in and legendary promoter Bob Colvin was installed as President and General Manager.
Under Colvin's leadership the track continued to thrive. Brasington would go on to assist in the design of Charlotte Motor Speedway before building his second track, Rockingham in North Carolina.
Weatherly would go on to be honoured by the circuit in , with the opening of a museum in his name which celebrates the history of stock car racing. Weatherly had suggested Colvin should build such a facility shortly before his death during a race at Riverside.
A tragic accident in ultimately prompted a new safety innovation; during the Southern , the leading car of Bobby Johns tangled with Roy Tyner's, turning Johns onto his roof and sending the car into the inside pit wall. Two more people were critically injured, another seriously. For the following year, retaining walls were erected in front of both pit areas a secondary pits have been established along the backstretch to prevent such a tragedy occurring again.
Into the s, Darlington continued to have the allure of old, but its facilities certainly lack the lustre of the early days. Silverstone Circuit Learn More. Circuit des 24 Heures du Mans Learn More.
