Nothing really "within walking" but many of the local hotels have a shuttle. I'm driving down in May and staying a a place a bit cheaper than reco hotel, but I'll have my own wheels.

The embassy suits have free drinks between 530-730 every night (beer and wine)Whatās with the free drinks the night before?
All I got was the reception the night before is cancelled.
Iām going exactly one week later.
I ordered from Jim N Nick's down the street from the Embassy suits. Wasn't bad, very good chopped pork. Get the Habanero BBQ sauce with itSo whereās the best BBQ restaurant in Charlotte/Concord?

Iāll probably go there after class. My flight doesnāt leave until 11am the following day.
I was there as well! Rain really put a damper on things. I wish we got to run I the dry.Belated hello to everyone who was at the wet'n'wild March 16 track attack! I think I was the only guy from Canada, and I was driving the #3 Orange Fury. Some thoughts about the event:
-It would've been nice to meet other attendees properly at a pre-event reception. On the day of, there wasn't much time for chatting, unfortunately.
-I had a lot of fun, despite the rain and the cold. I would love to run the Charlotte Roval at full speed in the dry.
-The biggest thrills of the day were 1) Going on the banking for the first time--I've never driven an oval before, and 2) Going on the banking at full-tilt while riding with one of the instructors. I am hooked on the Gs.
-Biggest problems of the day: Glitchy Race Keeper and radio. Make sure you don't get bad equipment.
-I honestly didn't learn all that much. How much can you really expect to get out of a few hours?
-I stayed at the recommended hotel and its front desk was severely undermanned on check-in.
- +1 for Midwood Smokehouse. I had their Brisket Burnt Ends and nearly collapsed.
One good thing about the rain? Terrific shots from the official photographer:
Are you the R from OC? Nice talking to you, if so!I was there as well! Rain really put a damper on things. I wish we got to run I the dry.
I stayed at the same hotel, and agree. Service is absolutely terrible, but free beer every night almost makes up for it.
im not sure if I heard right when I was there, but someone ākissed the wallā I heard?
