Re: Hotel choice?
The Econo Lodge in Alachua is much more convenient to the track given University and Gators traffic. Can't vouch for the rooms, but I go by there all the time. Outdoor entry, so I wouldn't expect a palace.
Eats: Conestoga's in downtown Alachua one mile away by far the best steaks near the track. Don't miss it. Not open Sunday night. El Toro is solid Mex, same area. Mason's Tavern is OK. Also Sonny's, Pizza Hut, Waffle House (I eat dinner there all the time, it's the kids favorite) and lots of fast food right across the street. Small RV campground behind the restaurants but you can't pay to just dump tanks.
