The team cruised the 90 miles to Charlotte, the home of Pi Kappa Phi and Push America. We were greeted with a delicious chimichanga lunch on the road and a police escort to our arrival at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in downtown Charlotte. The arrival was a blast: lots of people, news cameras, and a lot of Push America staff, including CEO Chad Coltrane. He's a cool guy.
After the arrival, the Hall of Fame gave us free passes to tour around. It was a blast, they had all sorts of memorabilia, including plenty of stock cars. They also had a very fun driving simulator and a pit stop simulator, where you and two friends jacked the car, replaced a tire, and filled the car with gas. My team set the record at 9.67 seconds!
After the NASCAR fun, we headed to the Hilton in downtown Charlotte. We are being treated like royalty here. Dinner was at a local Pi Alpha's house. I had a great time playing with their golden retriever. After dinner, we had a friendship visit/dance party with the Circle of Friends here in Charlotte. It was awesome! There was a band and tons of energy surrounded the room. Afterwards, I was exhausted. Looking forward to the day off tomorrow! Here's a few photos of the border, NASCAR, and my buddy David from the FV.
