hey tiger,
that sounds like a plan. i'll post in the NE section.
peter mills just left my house 2 minutes ago, i should have dropped the idea in his ear as well.
9000, it sounds like it would be best to go with a group or individual that has past experience in getting to and from the track, as well as somone who has a general familiarity of the city. hopefully we can get a good group together.
accomodations are a different story. i know how it is during those 'event' weekends. maybe i'll get in touch with my business contacts and hope for the best. otherwise it sounds like i'll be sleeping in the car! ;^)
