Lake Norman's First Turbo Turtle Race
Saturday, May 9, 2009 | 2:00pm-5:00pm Midtown Sundries, Harborside
The Coca-Cola 600 is only a few weeks away but 10,000 cute Turbo Turtles will be racing this Saturday on Lake Norman. The event is to benefit LifeSpan & Speedway Children's Charities. Just off the shore line at Midtown Sundries 10,000 fake turtles will be dumped from boats in a closed course. The race is expected to take about 15 min but these green guys may have a mind of their own. Midtown has arranged for bands all day long starting at 2:00 pm and the race starts at 3:30.
Bring the kids and bring your friends.......for $5 you can adopt a turtle and help a great cause.
The Charlotte area is home to NASCAR and as we are anticipating the opening of the new Hall of Fame the 14th Annual Power Breakfast is scheduled for May 7.
