I'm planning a short vacation to visit a buddy of mine in Greensboro. We have tickets to the NASCAR race on the 11th. I would like to do some golfing, fishing and anything else I can find. I think one college basketball game is possible. Clemson vs Wake Forest
Anyone live near Winston-Salem? Greensboro?
Are there any local tracks?

PanelDeland lives in greensboro and could probably give you some good information about that area. Pinehurst and Southern Pines are a little over an hour away, and are known for the golf courses. I lived in that area for a while and there are many around. Fishing is everywhere, you need a license though, most parks will issue you a license on the spot and they sell them at wally world etc as well.

Thanks for the info. A board member from another site has offered to take us fishing. If we stay in Charlotte, we may go fishing in Asheville.

I use to live in Winston-Salem.....if you are looking for some small race track
stuff, try Bowman Gray Stadium...i think they run modified's and other races there...it's a small asphalt track....not sure of your pocket book, but Tanglewood Park has a PGA style course...supposed to be pretty nice....if you are in Charlotte and like nascar shop tours...there is plenty of those...good luck and have fun....

I'm here in Winston. Bowman Gray has closed for the season. For drag racing close by there is Piedmont Dragway just east of Greensboro and Farmington Dragway in Mocksville about 12mi. west of Winston.
Golf is everywhere.
Here is a site for cruise-ins and car shows around NC.

Thanks for the info. I'm free Friday afternoon and part of Sunday. If I stay up until the State Fair, I need to find something to do.
If anyone would like to meet up somewhere. I could probably borrow my friends car. As the dates approach, I'll have more definate plans.
