any nascar fans

Mark: If I do not go to Norris for the Memorial weekend I would be interested in a trip up to see Reid. Are you interested in a road trip? What a cool weekend that would be. I'd love to see his "collection" and see his lovely wife and 2 cool kids (skipper and boaty) again.

Mark, John, and James and any others; That weekend is just under 3 months away, but don't worry about it being a big ordeal from a planning standpoint. All you need to do is jump in the car and drive. Got you covered on the the lodging and race set-up, and no need to haul a boat as we got you covered there. Mark however, you may need to pack an extra set of testicles, as you may not otherwise be prepared for the additional power. Lake Norman is calling your name guys.

Oh, and did I mention the boat club has no cell phone signal so I can really hide.

Dang, an offer like that is enough to make a NASCAR fan out of anyone.

NAUTI84 so the devil won ah???

I am working pretty hard trying to make sure I get to come down. Only thing that would stop me is if we have to work sunday and monday.

I was just thinking about this, I think we are in, Im not gonna bring the boat this time, I hope Jbear wants to go also! What is the date of the race?

Mark, the race is Sunday the 26th, with Monday being Memorial Day. The race typically starts 5-6:00PM and runs on til about 11:00PM. Don't worry about bringing the boat as it can turn a quick trip into a chore, and we'll have one here for you to commandeer with pleasure. I'm gonna pencil you in.   

jbear, We ARE your family, so you need to choose between those gap-toothed, knuckle-draggin, scraggly-headed Berrys and us. Never mind, I just described half of CCFan so you're excused and we'll hope to see you in August.

Reid
I really,really,really would like to be there. But - My wifes sister and her husband have orders(Airforce) to Germany for 3 years and are passing throu Memorial weekend. Maybe my brother-in-law (Tom)& myself could pull the silver over sat morning, boat sat,go to the race sunday & get back to Gaston sun night. But we'll have to vote on it.Ether way I'll be wet saturday. If I can get him to commit soon I'll give you a call - Thanks for the invite.

Bring your camera Blondie, the infields the place to be.

Reid if Lowes is anything like Talladega you know to bring along a good supply of beads

Reid if I road trip from Chicago to Charlett, how ever you spell them,

You have a flat piece of land to rest upon, and which to stand and watch cars go around at the 600? for G.A./infield ticket?

plus grauity? how do you spell tip anyway?

Chris, Hers wat wi gat, heer at tha trac in carlotte. (OK, I got my spelling jab in). For a flat piece of ground, assuming you mean somewhere to crash, we have the downstairs bedroom in the cottage where MM & Blondie will we taking the upstair room. We have several guys that stay at the track in their campers on our site, but I usually just go out on Sunday and play at the lake Saturday.
Below are pics from our set-up at the track taken from either on top of the platform looking down or up at it. As you can tell the view is great and higher in elev than many seats in the stands and allowing a view of the cars all the way around the track. Plus the jumbo-trons close by in the infield are great. We are on the highest point of the entire infield which is built up here for a road course track bank. We buy the passes, actually an armband now, at the track when we enter under the third turn tunnel. And some really good food to boot. That's chef ReidP on butt duty.

EDIT: We also have the big tent/canopy so you can stay out of the heat OR rain, and two satellite TVs to watch replays as well as the Indy race run just prior. All you have to do is show up.

Reid - What a cool set-up!
Dedicated Nascar Fans. Wish I was closer to join in on that fun!
Great to see your dock gets double-duty .

Reid

Well if I can get things lined up and it will be last minute if I can, I'll bring some rib's and the smoker, maybe some BoBoRita's too. just don't drink them fast or more than two in an hour's time.

I was looking at the Chikducturkey hes cooking!! But the pink "hot pants" are cute!

Randy, thats one of those dont ask just eat it cause its probably a cow brain, might be a delicasse in the south
