This area (I-65 Exit 103) is only 20-25 minutes from the track, and is convenient to Downtown Indy. It is also not far from Hammer's BBQ, if it happens in '09... 
This is merely a recommendation that balances cost and convenience, you may be able to find a more suitable location based upon your needs...as always, YMMV... 
The moral of the story is to act quickly and get your arrangements made soon...
See you in Indy...

For those who may wish to stay on the west side of town, there are a few hotels at I-74 exit 66 in Brownsburg. Hampton Inn, Comfort Suites (fairly new), Holiday Inn Express, Super 8. Straight shot to the track and about 10 miles out.

I went ahead and booked two nights at the Fairfield by Marriot - Indianapolis South. It's $109/night but it's the cheapest I could find at this date without having to drive 30+ miles. I figured the location is good for the '09 Hammer BBQ! 
I stayed at the Best Western - Indianapolis South last year and it was a dump for the same price.

Do too.
We stayed at the Courtyard last year. Great place, can't remember what we paid but we "know people". About a 20 min ride to the track. Someone else was in the same hotel with us but I can't remember who. 
Going to use the same place again.

I would've booked with Courtyard, but they require a 3 day minimum at $159 a night.

Do too.
That's the RedRider rate. I warned them of your penchant for backing out of big, important events for stupid fish staring trips.

Even if no one from MCAdx is there, you'll have a front row for Motorcycles on Meridian nightly...

You assume so much, I said I DON'T want to see anyone!!!!
Myself and a friend will be doing the downtown Indy thing each night, I've been to Indy before but is there anything (restaurants, etc) that I absolutely shouldn't miss during a GP weekend there?

You should probably try to attend the race.

Since you do not want to see any of us, here are a few places I suggest.

Sweet. Free HIV and Syphilis testing on Thursdays.
edit: Even sweeter. This post alone should ruin most people's google ads in this thread.
