Since 2001, I have lived in Harrisburg and worked in Charlotte, off I-85 and Billy Graham.

My wife, my three-year-old son and I just moved from Indianapolis to Huntersville around the beginning of the year, as I took a new job in the area in the racing industry. Currently renting a place, as we had an old house to sell in Indy and wanted to get familiar with the area etc. before buying a place.

OK. Let me guess. Moving from Indy to Huntersville. Indy, of course the home of Indy Car. Penske runs his Indy Car team here along with his NASCAR team. Also, Haas is here, too. The F1 Hass. Of course most all the NASCAR teams are from here, too.

But, one can be in the racing industry and be a tee shirt person, ad man, pr guy, tire guy, bbq sauce person, etc…

That is correct, observant citizen. I have informed the proper authorities, and a collection unit is on its way.

Next county over to the East. About 45 mins. to an hour from Charlotte but I’m up there all the time. Attended the last Charlotte Dopefest I know of. We had fun.
