Nascar Hall of Fame, Charlotte, NC

Nifty building on the way into Charlotte. 
Nascar Hall of Fame

 The cars are on a gradually increasing degree of banking.  Started at 1% and went up to 33%.  Told which track had what banking.
Ricky Craven's car.  He was the first to donate a car to the Hall of Fame.
Some guy kept posing and asking me to take his picture.


 Had to include my favorite driver of all time.  Loved him--Harry not Davey.
Owen did the simulation race and managed to lead a lap but lost to big g.  He had a respectable second place.


Spent the late morning and afternoon here.  The place is on three levels with interactive displays.  You get a "hard card" when you enter and register it then earn points at the stations throughout the site.  The air was so high that I was actually cold inside.  The heat of the day felt nice when we left, at least for a few minutes.  Still very warm, upper 90's but less humid.
