So I will do 3 posts to update our '08 trip prior to starting the blog with our 2009 trip.
My last post was news that we were in PA and were hit with the tail end of hurricane Ike. The area was hit with winds up to 80 mph which took down many trees and powerlines. We went 4 days without power and my mother went without power for a week. I located a generator for my mother's use and had to service it twice a day to keep power to her home. It's ironic that we leave Florida during hurricane season and get hit with one in PA!
After leaving PA we headed south and stopped in Bristol, TN. While there we toured the Bristol Motor Speedway. The tour there was better than the tour we got at Daytona. They walk you around the stands and into the track owners suite. Then load you into a van and go around the track at the minimum speed necessary to keep you up on the lowest portion of the banked track. You also get to see the world class drag strip that is also at the facility. Here's a few photo's of the track and one from the old railway station in Bristol. As always click on the picture if you want a larger view
