Driving Directions for the Mustang Week Dragnight Cruise
This year, the Mustang Week Dragnight will be held at the Rockingham Dragway! The cruise will depart from the parking lot at Hooters in North Myrtle Beach and with normal traffic should take about 2 hours. The founder of Mustang Week lives in Rockingham, NC and this is the route he uses to go to and from his home to MB. For those new to Mustang Week, there is NO decent dragstrip in the Myrtle Beach area... we have scoured the earth looking! The ROCK is a great facility and the cruise should be half the fun! Think about it... a couple hundred Mustang and SVT vehicles on a two-hour cruise!
For those of you who are unfamiliar, Hooters is located at/near Colonial Mall, near the intersection of US 17 and SC 22.
The cruise will leave the parking lot of Hooters and loop onto SC 22 (westbound) and follow SC 22 towards Conway, SC for 28 miles. The group will then merge to the right onto US 501 (northbound towards Dillon/Bennetsville, S.C.) and follow US 501 for approximately 28 miles. At this point watch for US 501 to merge to the right, down an off-ramp (Do not follow US 501 Business into Marion). Follow the large signs that say “Bennetsville.” Continue on US 501 for approximately 13 miles. Turn left, off US 501, onto SC 38 (westbound), towards Bennettsville, SC. Follow SC 38 for approximately 29 miles to Bennetsville, SC. At this point, follow SC 38 (Broad St.) into the town of Bennetsville and go 0.7 miles. Turn left onto E. Main St. (still following SC 38) and go approximately 0.2 miles (2 blocks). Turn right onto SC 38 BR/ Cheraw St. (northbound). Go about 0.5 miles and veer to the right onto SC 38/ Hamlet Highway. Be careful to watch for this sign, it’s easy to miss! Follow SC 38/ Hamlet Highway (northbound) for approximately 18.5 miles to Hamlet, NC. In Hamlet, turn left onto US 74 (westbound) and go approximately 1 mile. Turn right onto NC 177 (at Burger King) and follow NC 177 for about 8.5 miles to the intersection of NC 177 and US-1 (this is where the Rockingham NASCAR speedway is located). Turn left (southbound) onto US 1 and drive past the NASCAR facility. The entrance to the dragstrip is just ahead on the right.
