We pulled into the Tom Johnson RV Park, right next to Charlotte's "Lowe's Motor Speedway" and the ZMAX Drag Strip around 11 am. They were running "funny cars" and "top fuel dragsters" at the drag strip, some running speeds of nearly 300 mph, and the noise from the engines was unbelievably loud (or as Keith called it "music to my ears". Within minutes the guys were ready to go on their Nascar adventure. Their first stop was the Hendricks shop. I was suffering from a head cold for a few days and decided to take a nap...didn't wake up till dinnertime (even with the noise).
The next morning, the guys headed out again planning to visit the Nascar Hall of Fame. They also checked out the shops for Roush, Gibbs, and Earnhardt. The gals checked out the local mall....shopping!
We weren't surprised that the guys didn't get back till late afternoon; they really enjoyed their day.
After a stop-over in Madison VA, we should arrive home on Thursday, April 19. We've had a wonderful time, met really nice people from different parts of the country, and seen so many awesome sights, but we're ready to see our family and friends back home.
Our travelling companions are going to stay overnight in Bowmansville so that they can go to the Green Dragon and Shady Maple on Friday and we'll probably try to find a good Pennsylvania Dutch restaurant. And, there's no way they can go home without a few dozen Country Maid Donuts!
