Bernard Coach Speed Week

This trip will be one, that no one will forget anytime soon. I am putting together the final itinerary for this tour. With so many things to do in Charlotte during Speed Week I will continue to tweak the itinerary as it gets closer. I am still waiting on times for several of the activities we will be doing during the week. I will be allowing time for you to explore and have some free time to relax as well. Please give us a call and let us know if you are interested and if you have any preferences of what you would like to see. After all, this will be you vacation, why not make it the best it can be.

Below is a description of the main activities we will be enjoying while on our 10 day tour. A more detailed itinerary will be placed on our web site as we add new places to visit. We will mail the tentative itinerary one month prior to departure and will have the final with us when we leave.
