Big Lick ATV Drag Races »
Sometimes you just have to find something to do on a Saturday night. And sometimes there isn't much to do, even in the big city. Or in Charlotte. So we had to look a little deeper. We didn't really want to go out to eat, or go to a movie, or whatever. Then we figured we'd look to the country. Or at least as country as it gets around these parts. We'd go out to Big Lick. Yes, there really is a place called Big Lick. Check it out for yourself at that link.
Anyway, every month or so during the middle months of the year, they hold ATV Drag Races at the Big Lick Festival Park. Yes, there is also a place called Big Lick Festival Park. It's actually a big field out behind Hinson's Auction. If you're going from Charlotte, take Albemarle Road and keep on going. Once you hit Highway 205 (which is way out there), turn right. It's at a little town called Red Cross. Just a couple minutes on your right, you'll see a large brick building. A small gravel road takes you behind the building and into the park. It's not labeled very well, so keep your eyes open.
