Title: Road America Round - Hotel Availability
Post by: motobenco on January 13, 2007, 04:46:23 PM
Just a heads up, I was told by Siebkens that there is a PGA round scheduled the same weekend as the CCS round at Road America. So if you are not camping and need a room plan ahead, looks like rates will be up, minimum stay up and the number of rooms down.

yes we are aware and part of the reason I put so much time into arragning motel deals around the country. Check out the event info for each venue and you will find motel deals most have a limit on number of rooms and a cut-off for discounted rate of aprox 6 weeks before event. Here is RA host motel info (http://ccsracing.com/venues/2007/rdamerica.html)

I hope the new pit area is done and some additional power outlets. Eric have you thought of setting up advance deals for those of us that stay trackside?  (R/v-camper, trailer) It would be helpful when arriving late night/or early am and not have to check in the rig as well as rider sign-up, tech, etc.

It reminds me of that movie with Rodney Dangerfield and Chevy Chase...didn't they star in a movie about golf and groundhogs?  :)

I appologize in advance for the fact that this post has nothing at all to do with hotel rooms in Elkhart Lake...

Road America -> golphers -> gophers -> Caddyshack -> Kenny Loggins -> Yacht Rock

Since the Caddyshack gopher immediately causes "I'm Alright" to play in my head, I felt the need to post this really funny film series: (there's some cursing, if you have gentle ears, you've been warned.)

The birth of "I'm Alright"

The pilot is worth watching for the scene of Messina drunk in an alley:

Alright, I go back to lurking now.

I think we're going camping, as every hotel we've called within a 45min drive of the track has been between $70 and $130/night.  Planning on being there Wed. through Sun., so that's too much $$ for me.
