Sprint Week Help Needed/ Lodging

Obie · 6/20/08, 10:57 AM

As rookies for Sprint Week, I need some help. Is there a host hotel for any of the races? With gas prices the way they are, we have decided the RV will stay home. Our plan so far is to find a place to stay the day of the race. But if anyone has any hotels that are clean & air conditioned, with a reasonable price, I'd be interested. A lot of these tracks in the middle of the state are new to us, so we have no idea what's availabe up there. Thanks in advance.

We're staying at our usual places. Quality Inn in Lawrenceburg, then the Brickyard Crossing Inn in Indy. Although the latter makes the commute to Gas City a pain in the nose, it allows us to visit the museum and have lunch with some friends.

Obie,

We will be doing the Holiday Inn Express tour for all of the races except Kamp. Hope to see you at some of the races. Are you bringing the grandkids?

Might try Riverside Inn @ the Burg 812.537.4441 Next to track

Super 8 @ Gas City 765.998.6800 Mention I-69 Speedway and they will give you a break on the room.

I recommend both places. I stay at both often. The rates are good and the rooms are clean with lots of extras.

The Riverside Inn is kind of behind the times(they still have metal keys), but their breakfast is very ample.

The Super 8 at Gas City is a very nice place. In fact it is the best Super 8 I have stayed at. Also if you belong to AAA, NRA or a senior you get a better discount than the GasCity discount.

Is there a good place to rv camp at gas city?? I am planning on hitting the 2 day thing there and then to Kokomo..
I remember last year the race at Kamp motor speedway had a great grassy place to camp with a few big spots ..

If I make Bloomington again I'll be relaxing that night at the Chateau de Lincoln just adjacent to the Frolic Bar.:O:
