NASCAR Fans. Coming to Bristol?

 

One of the thundering hoard to see the

Non-
Athletic
Sport
Centered
Around
Rednecks.

This is the week that we locals either leave the area or hunker down.

During that time, we do not go to restaurants or grocery stores. On Friday some of us do not go to work. We do not look forward to this, but we love your money, so you are welcome.

You may want to download and load some of my POI's for this area. There are no surprises in the files, but they're good for a heads up.

Doc-in-a-box's: This is one you should have, but hopefully will not need.

Non-Interstate speed traps. The speeds are posted, but police in these areas are serious about speeders.
A few years ago, the county mayor asked the municipalities to suspend speeding laws for that weekend. The other mayors ignored him.

Favorite hiding places on our Interstates.

These are some of the posted deer crossing areas. Hell, the whole part of the country is one big wild animal crossing. Last I saw, the animals were not obeying the signs.

Schools are in session. Not all schools, but these are places I've been that kids are more likely to walk off the curbs.

Saw an interview on a couple of days ago that said that the high bank was regraded from a 3-groove to a 1 1/2 to 2 groove. I guess some of you know what this means. Supposedly will cause more wrecks.

Also hope this helps:

Quote:

Dear Bob and Barbara:
During your trip from Knoxville to BMS to Asheville, leave the GPS turned off

Then he proceeded to give me customized directions to our VIP parking area. And then how to proceed to Asheville after the race, noting there is a one hour pedestrian hold before cars can leave the parking lots.
