For hotel recommendations, I suggest several of the hotels on Dual Highway (aka U.S. 40), the same road as the track. Most are 5-6 miles west of the track. There is a Super 8, Hampton Inn, Comfort Inn, a hotel that was once a Days Inn. Super 8 is usually around $65-70 a night, three people/two beds. For restaurants near those, there is a Denny's, a Bob Evans, a steakhouse (Longhorn?), a Dairy Queen, a few ethnic restaurants as well.

Though I highly recommend joining us for our annual racers dinner at the Crazy Horse Steakhouse and Saloon (one exit north on I-81). I will talk to Larry Mohar this week, to see about reserving the back room for us. They (Crazy Horse) will need a head-count and maybe a deposit, that is refundable, for the back room. SO if you are coming that weekend and plan on joining us for dinner, please let Larry or myself know. If we can't get the room (like last year), we will go up the street to the Western Sizzler steakhouse.

There are 1-2 gas stations near the hotels on 40. Also a big Sheetz at US 40/Rt 66 a half-mile west of the track on 40, for those needing fuel.
