Waltrip World, now Race World USA has opened its doors to the public. Still enduring a disappointing season on the track the multicar NASCAR Team unveiled its new race shop/theme park style facility today. With thousands of fans visiting the Charlotte area for the annual speed-week and the series of races that go along with it, the new Race World USA should be quite an attraction.
Formally a movie theater most of us knew as “Movies at the Lake” the new Race World USA building has been fully renovated, expanded and attached to the old “Extreme Sports” building behind it. This makes for quite a large state of the art facility. Visitors can enter into the lobby area that displays each team and includes a driver/team display as well as a car showcase area. Upstairs fans can pay a fee to walk what Race World calls “A Revolutionary Stock Car Experience”. The walk through display includes an RV display that shows the living quarters of the drivers at the races, a hauler display, pit crew practice area, fabrication area, car assembly area, a number of specialty areas, a theatre, a retail store and even a restaurant.
All in all it is a pretty neat place to visit whether you live in the area or are just visiting.
Sounds great can’t wait to visit!!!
Recently visited,if you are a Michael fan, highly recommended.
Our entire family received autographs from Michael. He took the time to talk to us, he posed with us in photos,his entire operation including staff/employees were a class act.
Can’t wait to visit !!!! I’m so happy Michael is growing and showing he’s able to be an owner/driver and still stay as class A as he is !!!!!!!
Visited Race world a few weeks ago and it was fantastic! To get to sit in an actual race car seat with the Hans (check Spelling) device and helmet allowed me to understand what it was all about. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and the racing atmosphere just made it a blast. My wife, who isn’t a race fan, had fun too because there is so much to see. Great job and we’ll be back.
I LOVE Michael W.! I am going to see his new place next week and I can’t wait.
I wish Michael all the best in the world! He’s a cool character, indeed
