. "5"^^ . "I am not one to give five stars. I am one who believes that there is always room for improvement. With the NASCAR Hall Of Fame, however, I have no complaints.\n\nIn May of 2011, All Star weekend, I was in Charlotte on vacation so I could see the race and do all the other NASCAR things there are to do in NASCAR Country. This included a stop to the Hall of Fame. I started my morning early driving a few short blocks from my hotel to the Lynx train station on Woodlawn. I arrived to the Hall a bit too early but enjoyed the weather, the scenery of the up -town Charlotte area and the cars I could see through the window. I could hardly contain my excitement. I knew that soon I would be inside and living out all my NASCAR dreams. That time came soon enough. As I entered, my picture was taken in front of a green screen. I was not aware of what the picture would look like until the end of my stay. It was great and I ended up buying a photo package. That does not happen until later though. Don't get ahead of me. \n \nI was worried that I would get through the Hall too fast and get bored. I had a schedule to adhere to as I was there as part of a bus tour that would begin at the end of a few hours there. I never got bored. Not in the least. The Hall is enormous. I was tired more than anything by the end of my three or so hours there. I answered trivia questions, completed a pit stop (third best time of the day as of then), took pictures of the most modern parts of NASCAR as well as memorabilia of the early days of the sport I love. I was nearly overwhelmed. \n\nAt the end of my self guided tour, I got a free lunch in a collectors lunch bag, bought my photo package from earlier in the day and strolled through the gift shop shortly before riding the bus to two area race shops. I would recommend that if you go to the Hall, go for the bus tour as well. You will get to see both the Hall and a true active race shop up close and personal. The five stars I give today are for the Hall as it stands alone but the full package if great too."^^ . . "5"^^ . . "1"^^ . "2012-04-03T00:00:00"^^ . "1"^^ .
