Charlotte in May
If all goes as planned (surgery date scheduled for 3/22/04), I will be just about 2 months post op when I arrive at Lowes for the Truck race, the Nextel (*ack* .. do we REALLY have to call it that ??) All Star race, then a week of doing whatever we want to do (or I feel up to doing), then the Busch race and the Coca Cola 600. This will be my 6th May trip to Charlotte, and in many ways will be a whole new beginning too. I can't wait to be able to walk from the campsite to the track without having to stop every 15 feet to rest. And even more, I am looking forward to my October trip when there will be so much less of me and I can fit more comfortably into my seat.
Maureen,
Congratulations and Good Luck. Charlotte is one of my "Got To Go" Tracks. We are going to go to Talladega in April. I set a goal for myself of 80lbs by then and since I'm at 58lbs that shouldn't be a problem. I know what you mean about the walk - it can be a killer. Which race are you going to in October? We live less than 20mi from Kansas City. They are really pushing the weather having it here so late in October! Might just be the first Nascar race called on account of SNOW! My step son will be graduating from Air Force Basic Training the week of the Texas Race and since we will already be there it would sure be nice to go if we can swing it. Give me time I'll figure out a way to do it!!

Hi! It would not be the first one called for snow. I don't remember the year but it happened here in Richmond, VA . They raced in march and we so some times get snow but always too cold. I am glad they moved it to May, I also go to Concord every year, that is our family vacation. I sure hope the weather is a little drier this year.

We were in Concord for 13 days last May and it rained 10 of them. Then in October for another 8 days and it rained at least 6 more days. AND to top it off, we went the day after Thanksgiving for the big souvenier blowout sale and it POURED then too. I wake up and say .. oh it's raining I must be in Charlotte!!! I have hopes it will be a dryer year for NASCAR period!

It seem like every race we went to it rained one time or another. Good luck on your surgery. I'm envious mine looks like it won't happen until sometime in June. So another vacation of sitting at the van while everyone else goes to the trailers to look. Well, by next year I'll have them running to keep up with me. HA HA!

Angie--how was Talladega? Was this your first race? I am going to Talladega in Oct and it will be my first race. I am so excited, but also concerned about all the walking. So far I have lost 88 lbs but hopefully I will have a lot more off by Oct. Our seats are in OV south tower.
