We are set up with Go-Pro Motorplex for Friday afternoon after the VA Hospital visit. We will be the only ones racing during our time slot.. This will be fun. I also have decided the routes to take both to and from the VA home. It will be a nice ride.

Keep an eye on the starting line party's thread for more information on that end.

Are you allowing a bit of time to slip over to the track & pick up credentials? I am assuming that will be over at the track on Friday. Probably till 4:00 or 5:00.

How much is the cart racing going to run per person? Adults? Child?

I was planning on going to Z Max on Saturday morning to get credentials. Concord is a disaster on Fridays. I would not go anywhere near there. The racing will be $75 per person as of now. I am still working through a few details with them. There will be more detail in the next week or two.

Yes please add me to the list. The va home visit is something very special to us this year. The va in reno found my husband's fathers metals that was in a shadow box 21 years after he retired. He has been gone for 16 years now and the shadow box and certificate for crossing the equator was returned to our family this past Wednesday!!! Im really wanting for my son to take this time to see how great these people are. Even if it came from reno va chapter and not a va home. My son will be 8 this year and on his 7th power tour!

Thanks Linda, especially today it is truly important to remember. Jeremiah Denton has passed away, for those that do not remember was a prisoner in North Vietnam for 71/2 years. When he was put in front of the cameras for a propaganda film he enraged his captors by not only declairing his loyalty to the US but by blinking out the work "torture" in Morse code. His torture increased from that day until his release in 1973. I remember watching the news broadcast or their release, Denton was the senior officer released, in his speech that day he stated "We are profoundly grateful to our commander-in-chief and to our nation for this day. God bless America. A true American hero we should never forget.

I'm posting this for Lars. For some reason he is having trouble posting to this site, anyway the plan for Friday morning is now to meet at Roush Yates Parts, 122 Knob Hill Rd., Mooresville NC 28117. Their phone # is (704) 662-6982.
We will meet at about 9:00 am and they open at 7:00 if you want to go early and look around. We will start the tours from there.

For those that are not going in the morning I plan to be at the VA home about 12:30 to direct everyone in. I will post directions again as we get closer and post my cell number for those that get lost.

Of course after the show there's the kart racing and the party that evening, cant wait to see everyone. We have about 26 cars that have stated they will be at the show, if you are thinking of going let me know, if you haven't already, so I can give them an approximate count.

Well as soon as I can get to a home computer ( mine at home is dead and I can't register from my phone ) I'm going to let my oldest son Robert carry the family flag into battle at the cart race. He is still a little green behind the wheel but if he drives it like his 4-wheeler look out. But as Big Dave so elegantly put it all he has to bring back is the steering wheel.

I registered for Kart Racing -
I assume Go Pro is the same as Mooresville Motorplex ? Just a new name ?
