car is ready and waiting to be loaded friday morning CANT WAIT

Re: Bloomington Speedway Racing Friday, April 30, 2010
 

Does anyone know where there are available motel rooms within a reasonable driving distance at a reasonable cost for the Friday May 7 USAC show? The only thing I found was the Bloomington Super 8 at $249 for a single and that isn't going to happen. The IU graduation is the next day and it appears that has sucked up all the rooms. Thanks for any help.

You got that dri-bar all bolted up ready to go?

$249 a night at The Super 8?:7: That is outrageous. You'd be better off to book the penthouse at The Four Seasons.

Re: Bloomington Speedway Racing Friday, April 30, 2010
 

the best i found was the best western in martinsville. 20 mile north of bloominton but even that is 127 a night with a 7 day advance purchase at http://www.bestwesternindiana.com/ho...tinsville-inn/ Not sure you are going to find something better then that with graduation happening. Unless you plan on staying in indy. but then your looking at about a 45min drive to the south side.

Since it's commencement weekend you'll be hard pressed to find anything available around Bloomington. With the families of some 10k+ graduates coming to town, things book up so far in advance that most hotels have to use a lottery system for awarding rooms. And families are happy to pay the exorbitant prices since the baby is graduating and all that jazz :)

A few places you might try:

The Abe Martin Lodge in the Brown Couty State Park. It's between Bloomington and Nashville and per their online reservation site, they have a 1 bedroom rustic cabin available for $80 and some change. https://abemartinlodge.dnr.state.in.us/

The Spring Mill Inn in the Spring Mill State Park is about 40 minutes south of Bloomington. Their online reservation system shows a few different types of rooms available for anywhere from $94-$114. https://springmillinn.dnr.state.in.us/

The Scenic View Lodge. It's on 446 south of Bloomington and near Lake Monroe. You can call them at 812.340.4371 or 812.340.1712 to check availablility and rates.

These places may not be what you're looking for, but they're the options I can come up with on short notice.

Hope you're able to find something that works for you.

Diggsy, than you so much. I now have a room and can come to the USAC show. I never thought of state parks. I really appreciate the help. Thanks to VSneader2 also. Great people on this board! Thanks again to Bill for everything he does to make this possible!

Re: Bloomington Speedway Racing Friday, April 30, 2010

Re: Bloomington Speedway Racing Friday, April 30, 2010
 

Lol very "rusty". And jimmy and myself are going to pretty much split the season.

Re: Bloomington Speedway Racing Friday, April 30, 2010
 

I remember the Gaines launch and mid-air catch. "rusty" is lucky that he's not a little "musty"
