Umm, they're in Charlotte. Don't think there will be beer.

I'm pretty sure I was right. That looks like the EpiCentre in Charlotte where Strike City (good happy hour) is located. That's as dead as you'll see that area.

I actually got interviewed by some local news crew there one day about NeckCar. They asked me who my favorite driver was. I eloquently described the greatness of Richard Petty. I'm not sure how well the sarcasm was conveyed.
