We went to the Nascar Hall of Fame this weekend. Of all the things I saw, this is what I wouldn't mind taking home:

Nice. I wouldn't mind taking it home either. Go Jimmie! :cheer2:

One of these days I want to go to the Nascar Hall of Fame. Want to wait until there are more inductees though.

If you like Nascar, it's a really cool place. Tons of exhibits and if you want to try your hand at changing a tire, or driving a car in the simulator, you can do it among other things. We were told they will be changing the exhibits around the first part of next year as a lot of the stuff there is on loan. As for the inductees, they have the cars of the latest inductees on display and the others they have their plaques and information on the wall around the new inductee displays. We missed those as we were focused on the car displays. I did a Nascar Racng Experience where I got to drive a Sprint Cup car (older one with the wing) for 8 minutes at Lowe's Motor Speedway near Charlotte. It was really fun.

A very good friend of mine is heavy into Nascar. I know he'd love to go there. Can you tell us where it is?

Thanks in advance - Russ

It was one of his old cars, but he wasn't driving it. Just living the fantasy!
