Orbitz has the Super 8 motel near the speedway for $41 a night. Cheapest I found. Do we need to be on the beach? Price doubles.

It actually might be better if the hotel was off the beach, not a whole of space down there. Besides its only like a 2 minute drive from the speedway to beachside.

Yea I dont see any need to be right on the beach as far as the hotel goes. Besides I think we'd rather have to drive a little bit to get there.


Close proximity to open parking lot (so we can park all together and keep an eye on the trucks)
Pavilions make set up a lot easier.
Grills on location mean we dont have to get or bring any.
Nearby attractions for the family to go check out while us syty nerds are bench racing.

We gonna do this like we usually do?

Friday night is for the early arrivals: usually they can find something to do
Saturday & Sunday: one day at the beach/picinic one day doing something else (car show?)
late Sunday/early monday is usually drive home time

See how many in a block you can get. On average its 2 per room, so Id say probably about 8-10 rooms.

Maybe we need to get a count on who will be there for planning purposes...

I will be there and would like my own room...

I'll be there with my girlfriend and the '92 Syclone for sure. If Scott comes, I'll have hime trailer the '92 down and I'll drive #1596. So, possibly 3 people/2 trucks for me.

Not sure about the other GAST guys.

Heres the 2 cheapest hotels off the beach near the speedway. I say lets choose between these 2 and get going before prices start going up.

Days Inn
Super 8

I did the pricing on expedia, both average $45 per night - May 27-28th

Yea it's bike week...I'll go check em out when I get some free time. About how many trucks will be here? 10-15?...more? Just trying to get an idea of how much parking lot room we would need.

10-15 on average, its possible we could pull 20+ if some of the non-regulars come

I'm going to go over to the speedway to see if we can do something there for a day.

It says the entire property is available so, I was thinking getting onto the infield would be pretty cool. It's probably a long shot, but I'll see what the deal is and let you guys know.

At this point right now, I dont know if I'm going to make it or not.

Josh is taking his sweet time getting me good pics of #5, If it takes longer then I'm hoping (which it kind of already has..:roll: ) then who knows if I'm going to make it. Josh's truck better be just as nice as Norm's Sy that he just sold or I'm gonna be pissed. Cause I passed for 1 day on that truck and lost it. :roll:

Just cause you dont have one doesnt mean you cant come... The trucks are an excuse to get together and have some fun with friends.

That would be hell for me. I'd rather wait and not see/ride in them until I get it. Because my wife would hear it the whole way home about how I'm getting on and for ever how long it takes to get one. And that wouldnt be good :lol:

Ian's right. I personally don't go to these meets for the trucks, because it's all about the people for me......the trucks are just something we all have in common. I'll be bringing a truck to this meet, but I'd still go if I wasn't. Hell, I'd go if no one brought a truck. :D

:rotf: We'll see. I only live a little more then a hour away from Daytona so I dont need a hotel or nothing.

It would be nice to come down there with a truck though. With the way its taking its time, I'll probably have sold my Z28 and got a GN before I even talk money with Josh over the Sy.. :lol:
