Charlotte here we come
« on: September 14, 2016, 03:04:50 PM »
After a long hot summer  and a hard work schedule I am ready.    Vacation is next week and  me and the old guys will be in NC.  I am going to bring a few nos parts, some nicely reconditioned RS parts, 2 Muncies,  old speed parts, and a complete 2 inch drop spindle set up with brakes.   Love heading south  and we are in the green field just outside of the tunnel.   Stop by sat hi, take a load off if you need to.  Dan

I am 8 and a half  hours and look forward to it.  Only problem with fall is our northern winter is coming.   Last year was nasty cold  under 20 most all winter.   This summer had 43 90 plus degree days.  I work in a 225 year old steel mill in maintenance and summer is when we have shut down for repairs.  So I am looking for some vacation time

All packed.  Now there is a riot issue.    The police keep shooting what is said to be the wrong people.

The Speedway is 16 miles and 1/2 hr from center city , I think it should be ok as long as you don't go through uptown! JMHO :o

Yes, I don't have any information on where/what/etc the rioting is, but the track is outside of Charlotte, actually in a different city... (Concord, NC)...

We stayed north west of the trouble.    All went well.   It was really hot.  Attendance was not the best.  I may just go next spring.   Skip the fall and go to Carlisle GM show.    It is a good time because I'm with my dad and uncle.  But the show is starting to be a disappointment.    The new inside layout is really confusing.

Maybe the attendance was down due to the current Charlotte trouble...? 

but I most would echo this thought ... " The new inside layout is really confusing. " ...
