What days are you riding over for, and how many nights do you need? I can check tomorrow if there's any more room at the place we booked, I think we're on the NE side of town.

I'm planning on riding over on Friday and staying through Sunday evening. Are you guys riding? If there is anything available there let me know please. You have my cell right? Thanks!

I'm looking too, and would be willing to camp if anyone has room in their back yard.

You are more than welcome here if you like. I am about 45 minutes from the track in good conditions. Plenty of space. I will send you a PM.

Still not sure what I am doing or who I am going to be riding down with. Should have a better picture of things after the weekend though.

Thanks for the offer...I think I've decided I'm not going to hassle with a trailer.

I just booked a room this week. I am riding over Friday and coming home that evening. Then riding over again on Saturday and staying overnight and all day Sunday.
How many are going to the mile? I can't wait for it to get here. I have never been to a road racing event and haven't been to a flat track race for a while.

OK, public admission time: I am not going to be able to get over for the Moto GP at Indianapolis. Family holiday and flight logistics didn't match up. This is very disappointing for me, since it was one way I was going to be able to meet you guys and gals .

I will, however, make sure the dates are in my diary and holiday calendar for 2009.

Got mine, too...Bake you da' man! Thanks for putting together a great package with maps and detailed info.

I noticed the track parade lap voucher is only valid for Monday, 9/15, from 8-11 am. Not that it matters since I doubt I'll be riding, but isn't the parade lap before the races?

I believe it had to be pushed back to fit the schedule of events on sunday.
