Hey guys, Chris asked me to post this, since he is away with business

NASA has group rates at both Innkeepers and Holiday Inn Express in Danville..

Holiday Inn Express is closer to the track, but it cost more ($5?)
Innkeeper West is where we stayed for speedtrial right? If so, I am probably just going to stay there again, it will be under 45$.

Just call and book a room and make sure to mention NASA group rate..
I will post again with final cost as soon as I know for sure..

Here is the info for Innkeeper WestInnkeeper West

The Inn Keeper is the ShizzzzNit

Two words about the Holiday Inn Express: Jacuzzi Bathtubs!

Matt

 

Innkeeper Rules!

 

Yes, but the entertainment at Innkeeper is something you will never forget

 

Such as....

I seem to remember being entertained at the Holiday Inn Express when I was in the jacuzzi bath tub with my girlfriend, sharing the champagne that I won....

Matt

 

entertainment such as Ceas, but I think he will only be at the SpeedTrial event, may come down for the day for NASA though

Guys, I believe there is something going on in the form of a white water rafting weekend at the same time - might want to get on the phone and do some dialing. As memory serves, there were no doubles left at HIE and everyone knows I am all about the HIE and its sidekick Biscuitville

 

Doubles are a good thing...

 

I'm an Innkeeper North according to the operator. All by my lonely self

 

I ended up booking at the Innkeeper West (434) 799-1202.

 

Uhm, do any of these have room for a truck and open trailer? I had a miserable time the first night trying to park @ the Innkeeper, dunno which one. I got stuck in the back for a while and had less than a foot of clearance on both sides in the middle of a turn. That sounds like a lot, but just you wait til YOU start towing. Car on one side and a concrete post on another.

Anybody need a roommate?

I am hoping we'll be able to drop off cars at VIR on Friday evening. Corey, can you find this out from Chris?

 

you can drop your car off the Friday night at the track if you want I believe

 

Yeah, but I won't be getting there til late, probably around midnight.

Warren

 

i would go with the Holiday Inn then

 

Booked my room. (Inkeeper West) Had to use Orbitz, as the oh-so-not-really-helpful lady answering the phones didn't feel like booking anything, so she claimed that there were no available rooms. When pressed about a NASA reserved block of rooms, "oh, you better call back tomorrow to talk to someone then"
Never underestimate the power of a minimum wage position....

 

As of yesterday afternoon, HI Express was full on that weekend. No rooms. Zip, zero, nada.

Very few rooms left at the HoJo

Hampton Inn had one room. Jacuzzi Suite. $170/night. I'm partying with whoever gets this room.

InnKeeper West is filling fast. Don't wait around on this one.

As mentioned above, there is some sort of whitewater rafting thingy in Danville that weekend. It's ugly room wise.

 

Techistration is open on Friday from 6-9.
It is my understanding that VIR will be open all nite for late arrivals. There will be several RVs there also....

Techistration opens 6am on Saturday also

NASA-VA registrar

 

I think Pest or someone got a jacuzzi room at the Innkeeper last time. Mine didn't even have a microwave or fridge... hopefully these are "wild sorority rafters" as opposed to "golden years rafters" or "dueling banjo rafters"...

 

One of you NC **** get a room since I'm in FL.

Innkeeper will be burnt down.

 

Hmm. What time does the track open? I thought it doesn't open til 7.

Warren

 

The race director, registrar, and pace car will be there at 5pm.

This is what time they opened for us last year. There actually may be an event there on Friday, in which case, they may let you in earlier. Not sure on that one.

 

We can also tech our own cars right? This is what I was told. I do all my work on my own car anyway.
