The last time I was at Lowe's Motor Speedway was in July of 1999 to attend the Fast Track driving school and drive a race car around the 1.5 mile raceway. This was my 50th birthday present from Ellyn and the boys. This year, for my 60th, Ellyn is letting me go to the Coca Cola 600 on Memorial Day Weekend. We have reservations to camp outside turn 3 for the week, but we will probably just be there from Wednesday through Monday. I already have a ticket for a seat on the front-stretch, and Ellyn will be hunkered down in the RV with ear protection. However, she is going to attend the qualifying session on Thursday. Only one car will be out at a time and there is little chance someone will crash so she is ok with that.
There are no hook ups for the RV in the camping area but we have our generator and holding tanks to rely on. I am going to purchase a couple new batteries for the RV when we get down to Virginia. The Costco there has 6 volt, deep cycle batteries made by Johnson Controls and the two 12 volt batteries we currently have will not hold a charge. People claim that two 6 volt golf cart batteries in series give better life and reliability than two 12 volt marine batteries in parallel. They also will fit in the same space under the hood. Costco sell them for only $75 each so I am going to give them a try.
