Today, he was telling me about taking his (early-teens) sons to some of the racing facilities’ garages here in Concord, Huntersville and Mooresville. Many are free to attend and you can watch the mechanics work on the actual cars for the upcoming weekend’s races.
Some of us struggle, though, with keeping multiple kids, of different ages, busy during summer vacation.
