Still trying to figure out what we want to do for this one. Go the motel route or maybe the campground route? Of course i want this to be as cheap as possible especially when we want to spend most of the time at the track. Basically all we really need is a shower on Friday and Saturday morning and that's it, we are use to sleeping in the van anyway.

Tim, I would book that motel 6 on 31 for a night or two just to have a place to shower or get some a/c. Last years sprint week the desk person let me in for $30.00 at 11.am. I dodged the day heat and stayed at the track that night.

Just camp in the van at the track. There's a garden hose in the mens room to shower with !!

I booked a room in Noblesville about 12 years ago...it's really going to pay off for this event. Problem is, it wasn't cheap, still paying for it.

Sounds like you might have had a call or two there!

When they rent by the hour, be glad that they did a little clean up Bill. Remember, it is catch and release.

I'm all for spending every minute at the track cause we usually do but this time since we aren't travelling to a few tracks where we can hit truck stops on the way we are really only looking for a place to shower on Friday and Saturday mornings.
