I would stay

In mishawaka 15 minutes from track about the same as the others .. But there is so much more to do in the down time in mishawaka .. Elkhart sucks azz unless you like looking at closed down trailer factories .. Book your stay in mishawaka indiana 46545.. You'll see .. Your car will be safer for sure ... Just my 02 ..

 

[Mrs. TurboLoyd]

We've stayed in Mishawaka before and I agree that there is much more to do there. But most of the time we're there the same weekend as freshman orientation weekend and the hotels there jack up their prices! I mean $175 for the Super 8????? Geez.....

Maybe if we get a weekend with nothing happening at Notre Dame in the future we'll consider it. But thanks for the heads up....

 

[Mrs. TurboLoyd]

Also forgot to mention that there will be a FWD race class on Saturday, if we get enough cars!

 

[RIFF RAFF]

Yes

ANYTHING TO DO WITH NOTRE DAME DEMANDS A HIGH PRICE .. BUT IN THE LAST FEW YEARS 18000 NEW HOTEL ROOMS HAVE BEEN BUILT HERE IN MISHAWAKA NOT TO MENTION ANOTHER 12000 IN SOUTH BEND .. SO I THINK YOU'LL FIND THE PRICES ARE IN RANGE NOW FOR AN AVERAGE FAMILY STAY .. IF ANY ONE NEEDS HELP LET ME KNOW AND MY OFFER STILL STANDS .http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/na...info/353216-midwest-buick-challenge-whos.html. BE SAFE IN YOUR TRAVELS ..

 

[Mrs. TurboLoyd]

Jason has been sick and won't be at osceola. We are going to help out with the class and the payout is the same 500/1st and 300/2nd place.
JW Performance will pay the winner through paypal or personal check. We will be there when the gates open to help out. Any questions find the yellow tsm car.
