It was good.... Just kidding.
Looks like Jim is in for the long haul, the muscle group is in for the first 2 or 3 legs, Dan is in for the long haul work permitting, and I am either doing part or all depending on Mid-ohio and Road America. Gina is supposed to be locating hotels for all is us to stay together (hotel not same room), but her reliability is in question . |

LOL, well I have a couple of rooms already booked. June 6th and 7th Charlotte - Homewood Suites/N Charlotte, University Park (lots of places to eat, about 10 minutes from track, stayed here last year) $99 for a suite with kitchen June 8th - Dandridge, TN - Hampton Inn on I-40E towards Kingsport. $104 June 10th - Mansfield, OH - Hampton Inn $114 I think these are easy cancellation, so I can always change, but I like to get things planned early (and stay at Hilton and Marriott properties for points)

Lol, trying to figure out why myself. It's near a Nascar track (Mansfield Speedway) and I like to do some side trips, so I think that might be why. You probably noticed that HRPT doesn't take the interstate too much, so I was just hedging a bet I think............

Lol, I like taking the path less traveled............sometimes it's good to find out what the route is before you plan..........which doesn't get released til close to the start. I can always change later if I want. Don't know what the Norwalk area is like either. Sometimes the venue isn't really close to hotels, or for example, in Memphis, the drag strip was way North of town, but the evening activity was downtown Memphis, so I was in between the 2, but more on the way of where we were headed the next day. Kinda hard to predict where the best place to stay is sometimes...........

Actually I believe I will be going through Mansfield on my way from Mid-Ohio to Norwalk. We should all get together when she finishes her research and plan the trip. |

Hotel List
Here's what I've found so far. I'll update the list with more locations shortly. Most of the roms are available via Travelocity, cheap hotels, kayak, etc.
Also, there are several hotels listed on the Registration/Hotels page. We can book these same hotels without going through HRPT. It looks like the fewest choices are in Charleston WV June 9 and Norwalk June 11. So, anyone planning to make these stops should consider making reservations sooner rather than later. June 6-7 ZMAXX Dragway at Charlotte (Walking distance): Embassy Suites $150 Hampton Inn $152 Comfort Suites Concord $129 (5 miles away): Springhill Suites $89 Hampton Inn University Place $84 Candlewood Suites University Place $77 June 8 Knoxville Chillhowee Park Holiday Inn Knoxville $123 Hampton Inn Suites Knoxville $93 Marriott Knoxville $120 Four Points by Sheraton Knoxville $95 June 9 Charleston WV Downtown Kanawha Blvd Holiday Inn Express Civic Center $109 Fairfield Inn $105 Holiday Inn & Suites $115 Hampton Inn $120 |

I hate that I can't plan this with you guys.
They are giving me more reason to get excited about this job though.

Ok guys here's where I'm at, last year was a blast traveling with Dan, my plan is to plan for the long haul and hope its works out out for Dan, if for some reason it doesn't I might only do the first couple cities like Pat & Gina, unless I find someone to ride along with me so far no takers (wife, daughter, brother ), with David and Diane branching off in different directions I just don't want to make that long trip by myself. But I'm hoping for the long haul again, we'll just have to wait and see
