MOORESVILLE, N.C., (December 5, 2002) --- North Carolina has hit hard with a Icy Winter storm Wednesday night. This is the time of year that race teams are busy preparing their cars for the 2003 season. This storm brought the work to a halt at many race shops Thursday as power was out to over 1 million people across the state. I traveled through Race City USA and took some photos of the icy weather from a Nascar Fans point of view. The weather should improve this weekend and the work will no doubt go on as the teams prepare for pre-season testing at Daytona.

The trees outside the NC Auto Racing Hall of Fame were stressed
and many cracked under all the weight of the ice.

Mijn Amerikaanse chat-vriendin Cheryl, die in North Carolina woont, belde me gisteren idd op vanuit een hotelkamer in de buurt van haar huis, omdat er al dagen geen stroom meer is en dat hotel een noodgenerator heeft. Trouwens, hun buurt is gewoon niet te bereiken. Sneeuw is iets wat ze in NC normaal nooit zien, het is immers één van de zuidelijke staten van Amerika. Totale chaos, ontreddering en surrealistische situaties zijn er het gevolg van, dixit Cheryl...
