<p>Carowinds is only open on the weekends in October.</p>
<p>I haven’t been to the NASCAR museum, but have heard really good reviews about it. If you like NASCAR, you should try to find a way to get to Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord and get a tour of the Speedway - [Tours</a> | Speedway | Charlotte Motor Speedway](<a href=“http://www.charlottemotorspeedway.com/tours/]Tours”>Speedway Tours | Experiences | Charlotte Motor Speedway) Even if you don’t like NASCAR, the tour is good. The tour includes a ride on the track which is pretty amazing. If you’re going to be in Charlotte next weekend…watch out, it is race weekend. If that is the time that you have free, don’t bother going to the Speedway unless you want to go to the race. It’s crazy on race weekends.</p>
<p>The Blumenthal Peforming Arts Center is nice. Here’s the October schedule.
