We raced PTRA there one time. The facility is one of the nicest around, playground for the kids, indoor restaurant/snack bar with arcade games for the kids, concrete bleachers, 75% of parking is paved. Very nice place. One of the worst track surfaces I have ever raced on and I have raced at some real $hitholes. Track surface/prep is their only downfall. LOL

I just accepted a job in Charlotte. Big decision is where to live? Want to be out and don't mind a 30 to 45 minute commute. I have three kids so the school district is very important. Any help would be appreciated. Look forward to finishing the car and getting it to some tracks in NC and SC.
First let me say welcome to NC  My only advice is i would chose my location based on what side of Charlotte your going to be working. I-85 north or south is a dead standstill in the mornings coming in to Charlotte.

but our water/electric rates are high. However if your water/sewer/light stop working we have a 10-15 min response time even after hours
