Mongrel- Thanks for the response. I live in the Swansboro- Cape Carteret area ( sort of between the two). The area is about an hour north of Wilmington and 2 hours southeast of Raleigh, the beach is 10 minutes away. Like Sonnie, I would be spoiled living that close to Bristol as I'm a Nascar fan ( big college football fan also). I've been to Rockingham and Darlington, and tried unsuccessfully for several years to get tickets to Bristol. Sittting 5 rows back of start/finish must have been awesome.
