I don't think "limited" is the word to describe it; more like obsolete.
Danville is booked solid; and South Boston has limited availability, but at a premium of $200/night.

I am sharing a nice 4 bedroom lakefront vacation home......going to be about $450 for the weekend.....split three ways. It's only about 20 minutes from the track.

I'll be thinking of that while I'm pulling an all-nighter in my tent.
Thanks.

The condos are booked well in advance. I put in for one in July but was told Club members get firts shot, then people who have rented the condo before, then first timers. Its kinda jacked up if you ask me.

Mike is your boss the one who built your cage?? If so I still need to talk with him. I want him to do my roll bar but the budget has dried up for the time being.

I can't imagine how expensive the lodging at VIR is.
I'm debating turning this into a day trip now.

yes that's him did I give you his number? He's a member at VIR so i'm guessing that's how he got the condo. I'll be there all day tomorrow watching my dad make laps in the super comp.

I have a room at the lodge for March and a garage suite for July.

How did you get confermation for the garage suite? I tried to reserve a suite 4 weeks ago ( for July) and was told that they would call me when they could confirm. Because "Club" members get first dibs and they dont have a set # reserved for club members and a set # for non club members.... meaning if they have enough club members want a room them no non club members get one. ?????? So are you sure you actually have one? Shawn and Brett both tried for on for this weekend Brett even tried to reserve our room in October and was a no go... Same with Shawn

Confirmed. One of the guys going with me in July managed to do his usual smooth talking I guess. When they take your credit card info it is a pretty good sign.
