maybe we need to decide what is most important when it comes to hotels..quality, price, parking, location.. I actually booked at the Red Roof Inn just a couple blocks away b/c I wasnt worried about parking and they had good reviews. Price was OK at best. It was $223 for 2 nights. I have their number if anyone wants it. The lady at the desk said they only had rooms with 1 bed left b/c they have had a lot of people call and book already. Any other suggestions?

Odd question, but did you book it for Sept 12 - 14 of 2008? According to the guy on the phone and the website, they can't book rooms that far advance. Just curious.

I did a map of exactly how far the hotel we picked out is, by no means is it " close " but good around town access , there willing to make reservations already without a PRICE HIKE ( trust me this will happen within days )

I dont even know how many of our guys I will talk into staying there.. MOST I assume

http://www.tsbr.us/forums/showpost.php?p=125812&postcount=12

Its only 8 miles thru the city, or 12 on freeway to the track

It is also right at a PENSKE truck, ( right next door ) and there " closed " on weekends ,and forced we could park trailers there....

It is also the closest hotel for the trip to home ( for you guys )

Anyways , its kewl to see yer getting it together... We will plan a HUGE get together down there for pics, and meals !!

For me it is better to be 2 miles from the track rather than 8 miles. If I booze it up at the track I could walk 2 miles, not walking 8. AND it is only 2 miles past IMS. So while you will drive 48 miles total back and forth to the races I will be driving 12 miles(added in the extra 2 miles out of the way) back and forth to the races. And only paying an extra $20. I could care less who stays wherever, I am sure we will all meet up there either way. :cheers:

i called the red roof at the speedway, and they have a three night min reservations, for 129.99 + tax. must be paid for to hold.

:eek: wow, they must be getting a bunch of reservations, that is $30/ night more than what I reserved for...not to mention they had no 3 night minimum. the other place is looking better and better.

So far so good on our end...

Were up to 37, and looking for 60 by the time the race come around...

Reservations made, and some are camping / staying with relatives, but were using this hotel as a base of operations for night time rides etc.
