Opportunity knocked and for once I was able to answer and took a fairly last minute trip to North Carolina this week. I've been through the Carolina's many times during car rides to Florida, but I hadn't ever visited just to go. I'm not so much into Nascar anymore, but it's been a part of my life for so long I was interested to see some of the race shops and put some perspective on where the cars that arrive at the track each week come from. I have to say the race shops weren't quite what I expected, but still interesting. Overall my opinion of North Carolina is this, anywhere that warm biscuits and sweet tea are commonplace at meal is good with me! What can I say, for some unknown reason I'm a southern girl at heart?!?
I made a stop at the Richard Petty museum, well, because it was there. I'm not a big Richard Petty fan but I've been a fan of the sport long enough to appreciate the contributions he has made.
He's got my vote for president, after all, he's already The King!
I'll try to post more pictures but they're mostly race related so maybe not all that interesting to the non-race fan.

How did you manage to squeeze in a trip to Carolina and the Harvest Fair? You didn't tell us how you got there (plane, train, or car) or if you went alone. Did you go to a race there? I know a lot of people who live in NSB and have a place in the mountains of North Carolina and they love it. Also don't mind race car pictures.
Yeay, glad you had a nice time, can't wait to hear all about it when we chat. Was thinking of you down there, and tried to send you a text message, but phone wouldn't do it... maybe cause I was abroad. Anyway, hope to catch up soon!
