It is with great regret, that I have to announce, that Dartford Race Track will be closing with immediate effect.
Club is no longer financially viable with outgoings greater than income generated from race days due to:
A lack of numbers following the unfortunate thefts earlier in the year,
Uncertainty over longer term viability of the club due to the likelihood of eviction from the current site by the local council, resulting in inadequate track maintenance and even greater drop in numbers due to track condition,
Lack of funds to realistically setup the necessary facilities at a new site with existing membership levels and active support.
I would like to thank the small group of steadfast supporters for all their works over the years.
To this end the track and accompanying facilities will be cleared down over the next couple of weeks.
This means that the remaining rounds of the DRT summer series are also cancel
Regards,
Darryl
DRT Chairman
