Hello Jacksonville, Alabama.........
My name is Bart and i'm from Belgium, Europe. Next year i'm planning a trip to the United States. More specific: i go to the Talladega SuperSpeedway for the NASCAR Nextel Cup AARON'S499 on the end of april. I'm staying in Jacksonville. Is there someone to give me some good tips about the town? About bars, restaurants, etc... Cause the US is kinda new for me(first time). But i gonna be fine i guess, it looks like a nice town(pics i found), filled with nice people i think....

Hello Bart, we are so glad you will be visiting us! Jacksonville is a lovely small town with a four-year university. I have not been there in 30 years, so I hope someone will post more information for you. I hope you have a way to get to the superspeedway - Jacksonville is not next door! Although the town has a university, that is right at exam time, so things may not be lively there. But they WILL be at Talladega! Welcome!

Will you be working the race or do you have tickets and will be in the area for a couple of days?
Do you have an idea what a NASCAR race is like in AL :>) |

I've had good times at 'Brother's Bar' in Jacksonville.

You can download the visitor's information. Our 1st couple of years we would print this out and bring it with us. If you're getting there on Wednesday, plan on a trial run to the track. You can even visit the museum without the crowds that way. Race day. We usually arrive on both days between 7am-8am and have no problem doing everything we want to. Please pay attention to what they say you can and cannot bring into the track. As the day gets closer I'll fill you in on more ways to save money. |
