He spent sometime researching the various tracks on the east coast. (Longer track = longer ride!) After visiting and taking a tour of Charlotte Motor Speedway last fall, he decided to schedule his ride there. We went back to Charlotte in March where he took his ride! A great time was had by all! Everything was very well organized and the staff couldn't have been nicer! \nWe arrived, my husband checked-in, had his picture taken, was given his number, and instructions about where to line up when his group was called. As the \"by-stander\", I had \"front row\" seating. The staff also invited me to go up on the observation deck so I could follow my husband's laps all around the track!\nThe riders were called, got their helmets, and took their turns doing 3 laps around the track with a professional driver. (No, not Jeff Gordon or Jimmie Johnson! ;) ). My husband has never been a big race fan but he REALLY enjoyed the ride! Charlotte Motor Speedway is a beautiful facility!"^^ . . "1"^^ . . "0"^^ .
