Tega Cay could be first city in SC to allow golf carts to be driven at night
The City of Tega Cay could be the first city in the state to allow people to ride their golf carts at night. State lawmakers passed House Bill 3292 this past legislative session. It requires golf cart passengers under 12 to wear a safety belt when the golf cart is on public streets and highways. ALSO READ: Tega Cay city council votes to spend additional $35,000 on deer population control It's a big deal for communities like Tega Cay, which are close to passing an ordinance to allow people to drive golf carts at night. 'Being a golf course community and a lake community, a lot of folks just see the benefit of something like a golf cart,' golf cart owner Tyler Crane said. Crane supports the new ordinance that would allow him and others to drive golf carts at night. 'It's really cool to pack up the golf cart, get our kids on the golf cart, and it's just overall fun,' he said. RELATED: Tega Cay community rallying to get friend for Scottish Highland cow Tega Cay's mayor told Channel 9 on Wednesday that there will be some safety requirements and suggestions. 'You have to have headlights, you have to have taillights,' Mayor Chris Gray said. 'I like turn signals on a golf cart; they make a lot of sense. If folks would like to do that, that would help to add another layer of safety.' Driver Bob Knotz does not have a golf cart but doesn't think the change will be an issue. 'I don't have a golf cart, but I do have a car,' Knotz said. 'I don't think it's gonna be a problem because they've got good lighting and seatbelts on. 'Nobody's gonna be around driving crazy already, so I don't think it will be a problem." The ordinance has to pass three readings to become a law. The second reading takes place on Monday. In North Carolina, it's up to each individual town or city to come up with their own golf cart rules. But similar to South Carolina, state guidance says they should only be allowed on roads with speed limits of 35 miles per hour and lower. They also must have working headlights and taillights to operate at night. (WATCH BELOW: South Carolina considers reviving failed $9B nuclear project)

5 questions for Wisconsin racing in 2025: How much sprint car racing is too much?
Before the calendar flipped, we looked ahead to five questions to be answered – or at least addressed – during the 2025 Wisconsin racing season. One involves an incredible and ambituous stretch of sprint car racing at its highest levels with Kyle Larson's High Limit series June 3-4 and the World of Outlaws June 6-7-8. Advertisement Other questions involved the Milwaukee Mile, the ASA STARS National Tour, what the future might look like for NASCAR in the state, and the short-track juggernaut that is Ty Majeski. But here's the second: Rico Abreu, right, and Brad Sweet, seen at a World of Outlaws race at Beaver Dam Raceway in 2022, are now regulars on the High Limit Racing sprint car series. More: Key Wisconsin auto racing events for the 2025 season How will an unofficial Wisconsin sprint week play out? Not only did the World of Outlaws grace Wisconsin with eight races in 2025, it dropped three of them alongside the previously announced two-night Badger State debut for Kyle Larson's High Limit Racing. Five events in six nights are an abundance for sprint car fans. High Limit is set to race June 3 at 141 Speedway in Maribel and June 4 at Red Cedar Speedway in Menomonie to start this unofficial Wisconsin sprint week. The Outlaws events fall on June 6 at the Plymouth Dirt Track, June 7 at Beaver Dam Raceway (the traditional $20,000-to-win Jim 'JB' Boyd Memorial) and June 8 at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie. Advertisement There's one conflict across the timespan, Red Cedar on the night of an Outlaws' stop in Jackson, Minnesota. Will any High Limit teams use their proximity and free weekend to cross over and give fans a bigger treat? How many Wisconsin drivers might partake? What's the chance the weather holds for all five nights? And, ultimately, will ticket buyers be able to support it all? Then the Outlaws will be back in the state for doubleheaders June 27-28 at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond and July 11-12 at Wilmot Raceway as well as a single night Aug. 19 at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City.
