Stumpy's parents like the Ramada Inn.  Call now as last year there was a Jahovahs Witness convention that weekend and it was full in July.

We've stayed at the Super 8 before and it was fine, too.  Stumpy really liked it when the continental breakfast was homemade waffles.  Now they have danishes.

If you're looking for one for the next race, you might have to take what you can find.

Something else must be going on that weekend, cause I had a heck of a time finding one that had rooms available.

I think the Ramada is where I stayed a couple of years ago.  Nice place.

Do Jehovah's believe in motorcycle racing?

     I live in Rockford which is very close to BFR, there is a very large amount and variety of hotels here. I'm not sure if that is 1 of our big sports weekends or not, Rockford hosts quite a few regional tournaments throughout the year for softball and soccer which attract many 1000's of people. The main hotel cluster is on East State street (Business 20) where Interstate 90 crosses over it, and there are something like 60+ restraunts within 5 miles of the hotels as you head east down East State street. Hope this may help you.  :)

Search Beloit, WI.  There's a fairfield, etc etc etc...  and plenty of conveniences (read - wal-mart stupid-center).

Thanks people.   ;)

It'll be my first time up there.  I remember seeing an exit for Beloit when going up to Road America.

If they had decent showers it would be more of an option.

Rob,

You mean you don't like the 'shocking' wake up call when you put your $1.50 in?  Or is it the invigorating rush to dry off in the cool morning air?

Ahh... the joys of roughing it!!!

$6 gets you a hot shower with clean towels at the flying J...

And if you're into it, you can make a quick $20 washing some trucker's back  :o

WOOHOO!!! K3, YOU'RE RACING MAN!!!
