Michael Waltrip Racing is one of the regions NASCAR race shops, Michael is team owner, one of the drivers, and frankly one of the more interesting and colorful characters. It is located at 20310 Chartwell Center Drive in Cornelius, NC. This shop which is 14,000 feet of racing items and the shops where the cars are built, charges admission, but gives more access than many of the free shops in the area (though many of them do a great job). It is open weekdays from 9-5. Due to time, I did not get to tour it but I will be b back to do so in the future. I enjoy the racing in the area, and the race shops are an amazing plus to living in the Charlotte area.

Richmond International Airport, June 25, 2011
Airports draw businesses to an area, and air service is an important part of that attraction. Being able to fly in cargo and commodities is also important to a community. Not everything is hauled by truck, or train, and many businesses depend on air service.
I enjoyed by visit to the airport, which is my second since I have been here.

Summer, NC 2011! (June 21,2011)



Last Day of Spring (June 20, 2011)
Always good to be back in Carolina. Previous days (Saturday and Sunday) spent some pleasant times with my wife, son, and the dogs who were all glad to see me. Always good to have that and grateful for a supportive family. This is a difficult thing to do, this living in two places.

Southside Super Show: The Cars and Trucks (June 12, 2011)
Speaking of music, the event had a lot of music, though that was Christian Rock and Rap, though I enjoyed that. Most car shows have 50's sort of music, so it was a nice change, and considering the venue, it was to be understood (as was the total lack of beer sales there). Had a great time though wandering around, was no problem!
The show was a very neat thing, with great music, motorcycle stunt shows, a whole lot of interesting cars, trucks and bikes, and a whole lot of fun and friendly people (the people part is typical of being in Virginia). Had a great time, and if they have this again in 2012, I will make it a point if possible to check it out again. They have some really good car shows (for lack of a better term) in Virginia from what I have seen, for sure they give NC a run for their money.
