On Monday morning around 530 am we packed the car and headed for Mooresville, NC. We drove all day and arrived in the town around 630 that night. Taking time for rest stop's on the way down there. Upon arriving we stayed at the Super 8 motel, and then went to eat dinner at the cracker barrel across the street. Then it was back to the room, to watch TV until we finally went to sleep.

 

Tuesday, we got up and out of the room at 9 am. Were we went to breakfast at Denny's. After eating we went to our first race shop, JR. Motorsports. (owned by Dale Earnhardt, Jr.) Home of the Busch series #88. Were I bought 2 hats, 2 decals, 2 1:64 #88 Navy diecast cars, and a magnet for the fridge. I also took a ton of pictures. After leaving there, we went to RYR (Robert Yates racing) home of the #38 & #88 nextel cars. I took more pictures, and my mother bought a cup. We also got some cheap pop from the vending machine for only 50 cents. Then it was off to Penske racing. Home of cars #2 #12 nextel cars . There , i again took more pictures. My mother bought a stuffed dog there. Then we left and went to DEI (Dale Earnhardt Inc.) home of the #1 #8 #15 nextel cars and #11 Busch car. There I bought a pack of 3 foundation bracelets, and a tee shirt.  Then it was off to, Hendrick Motorsports. Home of nextel cars #5 #24 #48. There I bought 2 foundation bracelets and took a ton of pictures. The next stop was Roush racing. Home of nextel cup teams #6 #16 #17 # #26 #99. There I only took pictures. After that stop, it was back toward the motel.  Stopping at the NC Motorsports hall of fame, and RWI (owned by rusty Wallace). Again, only taking pictures there.  Then it was out to memory lane, another museum. Were my mother bought a set of 4 dale Jr plastic cups. Then it was a stop for dinner, at pizza hut. Then finally back to the motel around 7 PM.

 

Wednesday, we checked out  of the motel around 830 and went out for breakfast. Again, at Denny's. Then it was south go Gibbs racing. Home of nextel cup teams #20 #18.  Were I bought a stuffed bear, and a couple beanie / skull knit caps. I got my friend one of the hats, since I don't think he'd ever go down there. Then it was back in the car and the drive for home.

 

We arrived back at home at 1120 PM. We unpacked and sent to bed for the night.

 

Thursday, Yup, finally getting to today. I put all the stuff I bought were I want it. Then we went to Lancaster small animal hospital, were we pick up our kitten from boarding, and brought him home. Needless to say, he's happy to be back.  Then my father and myself mowed our insanely long front lawn. I am very  surprised the push mower made it though the 5 - 6 inch high grass.  Afterward, my mother ordered dinner, of which I just finished. It was chicken fingers.

 

Plans for the rest of tonight? To relax and try to get rid of the headache that I currently have right now. I think NY roads are the worst of any that we drove on the entire trip. At least I got out of this house and tow for a few days. It was nice to get away.

 

~ So, any of you all got questions ?

Re: My Vacation Trip
Doh!

I knew the name Mooresville was familiar for some reason...

An aunt & cousin live there and - big surprise - he & his step son are into racing. At one time, my cousin was working for Wallace Racing... last I've heard from him he had his own company MVR and his step son was racing ARCA cars.

Maybe one of these years I'll get back down to NC - it's beem 30+ years since I was there, living in Surf City, USA
