North Georgia
I ride motorcycles throughout the Southeast and up the Eastern Seaboard. I had the pleasure of buying one of my new motorcycles in the Charlotte area, so I don't hate the area, residents, or businesses. But to be honest, the place was too urban (small downtown blight) and suburban with awful traffic and all the strip malls; and downtown in the winter was not pleasant for the few days I was there on a trip where the ice storm shutdown the airport. Yes, I've been through your airport, both for trips to Charlotte as well as transit. I don't stay in Hotels, so I'm typically in a rental car living in a motel if I'm not on a bike. Charlotte area is good to cruise thru on the motorcycles, but no reason to stop except for fuel and chow; even though I love to stop in Asheville on my rides or for when I'm hiking the local mountains -- so maybe I'm just more in tune to simple folks, than others flocking in towards the money. You couldn't pay me to watch a basketball or football game, and I don't care what super-corporation owns my local politicians.
Anyway, sounds like your beef is with the NASCAR Party Planners, and not me.
