"Get ready for a race, and hear the engines roar. In North Carolina, every weekend the ground will shake as stock cars around the state race the days away. Being the birth town of stock car racing and home to NASCAR Nation NC will find a way to turn you into a racing fan if you are not one already. Want something more than just racing? No problem. North Carolina does not stop there. The Outer Banks of NC are great for lighthouse tours and if lucky you might see some wild ponies along the way. Re-live history at a Quaker plantation in Greensboro, hike or ski the Blue Ridge Mountains, or take hang gliding lessons at Jockey?s Ridge State Park. Experience a mixture of both country and city by feasting on famous NC traditions such as a good barbecue, mouthwatering hushpuppies and sweet tea. Get on the fast track and relish a heart-stopping adventure. "
