The famous saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
So... when in Charlotte, do as the Charlotteans do and that means car racing. North Carolina is NASCAR Country and The thing to do in Charlotte is to go to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. I was able to go explore it during one of the convention parties. The whole experience was so fun. They make it very interactive. They taught us to drive and then sent us out into cars set up with simulators and we raced. We got to play like we were in the pit and change tires and jack up cars. There are also many cars on display. All in all it gives a fun overview of NASCAR and a window into a world I don't know anything about.
Unfortunately September is not racing season so I couldn't actually go see a race. I tried though as I do whenever I get into car racing country since its not something I can see in New York City.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain
