2013 NCT National Rally

 NCT National Rally in Lincoln Alabama on July 14-19, 2013.  The weather was in the high 80s most of the time.  We had very little rain but one wind gust that took off two awnings from Roger/Sally Simmon's and Andy/Tina Krasnansky's motorhomes.  Over all, a good rally.  Some of the things that we did follow.

Rows of garages for the cars.

The top wall is made of styrofoam

This is where all the motorhomes and large vehicles come into the infield.  Otherwise you come thru a tunnel under the racetrack.
This is banked 33 degrees and you have to be going 80 mph to stay on the track.
