2012 Fall Colors Tour - October 19 - 21

[67ragtop]

Ok we now have a date and somewhere to go we need a motel around Mooresville or Concord so we can get everybody at the
same place. Does anyone have a favorite? Then we need a motel around King for everybody that is from out of town for saturday
night.

[classicbern1]

that sounds like a good weekend to me I don't need to worry about a motel I'll just bring a sleeping bag of sleep on your driveway

[classicbern1]

the boss is going and she says I need a hotel room

[novadriver]

OK, I might be able to get off work on Fri. So looks like Momma and I will make the trip down. Just tell us where to show up and what time and we will see you there on the 19th of Oct.

This place is decent.
We have many hotels, some newer hotels are at Exit 33 off I-77. The race shops are mostly between exit 33 and exit 36 off I-77. Most race shops do not have any visitation on weekends.
If any one would like a few more suggestions, let me know.

Hampton Inn & Suites Mooresville 119 Gallery Center Drive, Mooresville NC 28117

Dad said one day maybe next week we will ride down that way and talk to the race shops. My uncle is in Charlotte now and he is doing most everything we are doing. He told us that we dont want to do the Nascar hall of Fame. He said its in the Middle of Charlotte and the closest place to park is about a mile away in a parking garage. But he said hendircks place is amazing.

[classicbern1]

what time are we looking to get together on friday because it is an 8 hour drive for me here in baltimore to charlotte if we're going to meet early in the morning I will have to leave thursday night after work

The North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame is in Mooresville, and well worth seeing. It is open on Saturday's. A map is avaiable that shows all the local race shops and attractions from the Chamber of Commerce or by calling the NCARHOF.

Most race teams are not open weekends, although some special arrangements may be available.
I also recomend Lancaster's BBQ in Mooresville for any one that likes racing and great BBQ.
Being in Charlotte on a Friday and heading North towards Concord or Mooresville is a traffic nightmare most Friday's.
I'm done hijacking the thread.

[4Gotten1]

htrdharley I don't think you are hijacking I think this is helpful information since I am coming from Maryland and need to know this. I am coming down on that Wednesday and visiting Earnhardt Chevrolet and DEI.

Alright dad finally got a plan going on.
Friday:
Meet at Detroit Speed. Around 3ish?
Tour their shop and see their projects.
Then head over to Concord area to go through the mall or see the tracks.
then to the hotel.
Saturday:
Go to hendricks place tour their shops
ride up to the RCR winery
depending on time, go to the RCR Museum
then head to our house, cook out.
then you guys head to a hotel.
Sunday: Head up to Pilot Mountain (to you Andy Griffin watchers it would be Mt. Pilot) look out at the top and enjoy the view
then everyone can leave from there.

how does this sound?
and does anyone recommend any specific kind of hotel?

[htrdharley]

Since you are coming down early (4gotten1), check out the places I mentioned. The racing musem is in an industrial park that houses many race teams. They all have a viewing area that is open to the public M-F. The Talbert Point Business Park houses many more teams including JR Motorsports and the NASCAR tech school as well as a pit stop school. Across the street from NCARHOF is Roush/Yates parts which is a retail store open to the public. It is a great place, think Summit or Jegs mixed with used Cup parts. You can get some really cool junk in there.
Detroit Speed builds some great stuff. Kyle & Stacy Tucker are super great people. DEI is a great place also, although not very active any more. The Hendrick Museum is great as well.
I would double check all the hours to make sure you guys can get in on Saturdays if that is the plan. I would love to join up and meet some more BS'RS on the forum, but as of now I am comitted during that week. I hope that changes.
