camping establishments. Visit the souvenir trailers around
1pm….Cookout or eat near the track at one of the many establishments
in trailers around the park…get to the track NLT 5pm…most of your
seatmates will already be well lit…I did the Cokie for 2 years
straight b4 retiring from AF and moving to Michigan..expect a TOTALLY
different race this year with the re-pavement of the track…and for
GOODNESS SAKES, check out the dirt track at Lowes…will probably be
World of Outlaws Sprint cars that weekend, as per usual.

Don’t plan on getting out of the track soon if you plan on parking there.
You gotta imagine of over 200k of people wanting to leave as well. But it’s
all worth it. Have a ton of fun!!

I haven’t been to the Charlotte track (our trip there this month had to
be cancelled due to stupid things like work and 2 weeks of jury duty
:-( ), but you can find some info on things to do, including driver
appearances, here:
http://www.laidbackracing.com/Tracks/PreviewCharlotte.html

The track’s homepage has a map of parking here:
