SPEEDWAY BOB


BEN

I have traveled to Concord, NC to visit my son Ben many times. It took a while for me to discover Charlotte Motor Speedway. What a thrill. and for next dozen visits Son Ben and I truly made the most of my trips. How about speeds of 200 MPH and us sitting in the front row.

CMS is about people. Many Rednecks..all winners from the scalpers (Shorty) to the displaying vendor. Over the syears we attend pre-race cookouts and met many of Ben's friends. We had infield positions to the top tier of the stands latching the moon set. Some folks object to the noise, others wear ear plugs. I like the noise.

In recent years we got rained out. The flights from North were formidable. 'Chamber of Commerce views" of the Bank of America tower were wonderful. Too bad more of my friends and family have never attended a race. Maybe Chase Robert? Anyway, Charlotte is the place to speed!
