EDIT: nm - mild panic attack.

Where is everyone staying this year? We need to move fast since it looks like the cheaper rates are selling out already. Somebody please make a decision so I can book 4 rooms already! :o

I was thinking maybe we could stay up in Sandusky or so on the lake if it was a decent rate. We all just need to decide pretty quick. Ordinarily, I wouldn't care if I was 10 minutes outside of town since I usually drive more than an hour in town here in Phoenix, but considering how shitty drunk we're all going to get (at least us from Phoenix who will not be used to the humidity and need more refreshments), probably a good idea that we all stay together so we can just crawl back to our own rooms eh?

Thanks!

Norwalk Inn dude :thumbsup


Thats my vote at least

get your rooms yet?

I have gone racing at Norwalk before, and they have free camping for racers right on the track grounds. If I go, I will probably do that. You can drink and party right there at the track, you would never have to worry about driving anywhere. The only problem would be a shower.

FYI, Sandusky is 18 miles from Norwalk.

Thanks again admin2! :P

We were discussing tonight about borrowing an RV from a friend's parents to make the trip. Is there a website or phone number to get through to the Norwalk Inn? I realize that Sandusky is a stone's throw, but we would really like to be sure to be staying with the rest of the 2GNT crowd, ya know? I also just had a local TSi owner say he'd be interested in going with us. Make it a likely 6 cars rolling out of Phoenix on the 10th! Wo0T!

I think we'll be staying at the Best Western again.

AZ 2GNT will be at the Norwalk Inn from the 12th to the 16th. FYI. Now I'm REALLY starting to get excited! Wo0T!

You are going to want to stay at a hotel right on the main strip. (if you can call it that). Best Western for me for the 4th year in a row. It was around $120 for three days and two nights last year. (and we split that 7 ways).

Please post number for best western! Thank You!

Best Western Norwalk
351 Milan Avenue, Norwalk, Ohio, United States, 44857
Phone: 419-663-3501 Toll Free Reservations: 888-737-4425 Fax: 419-663-3601

Norwalk Inn was a touch over $300 (total) for three people in a 3 bed room for 4 nights (Get there Friday, leave Tuesday). Porn, fridge, microwave and it's half the distance to the track than best western. Right out front is McDonalds (maybe burger king, can't remember) and a DIY car wash.

You can basically yell from the Norwalk Inn to BW. The town isn't big enough for them to be far apart. The track is a 8 minute drive from anywhere on the main strip. Either is a fine choice.

Good price though.

Edit: Norwalk Inn, like BW, Econolodge, and the Amerihost is right on the main drag right? Or am I remembering the layout comepletely wrong?

i dont remember. i am waiting for my g/f to figure out wether or not she can go. that will determine wether or not i get a roomy. :-)

haha. I was expecting you to say "that will determine whether or not I get to go". Good work. :thumbsup

I will be at the Norwalk Inn.

Dino and I will be at the BW again. This time hopefully Jeff won't break the sink. :P

Sweet! So I can drink with Dino and company (assuming I am worthy by then) and all I have to do is run Ninja-style back to the Norwalk Inn to avoid a drunk and disorderly ticket. Wo0T! I'll be sure to wear a black shirt for to make teh Ninja mask with.

Hmm last year we had fun cramming 4 people in to my car along with $80 of beer and all my tools back and forth from the Ecno lodge to the BW. Hmpf ... just to pick up Todd. :P

It's still sketchy if Im going to make it or not but I figured i might as well reserve a room while theres still rooms to reserve. If all goes to plan, it will be a massive road trip from san diego, CA to TX to meet up with a friend in Pearland and then drive on up to the shootout.

anyone have the number for the Norwalk Inn?
Whats it like?
Ive never been to the shootout so Itll be an experience!

reservation is made at Best Western for 1 room 2 double beds:
14th $129.95
15th $139.95
16th $79.95

kind of pricey!

best western phone # is in this thread. Look up to "hybridsm"s reply...

BW, Phone: 419-663-3501

I just made my reservations yesterday. They are geting full fast. When I told the woman I was making reservations for the future, she said, "Let me guess, weekend of Aug 13-15 right?". Call soon or you'll be left out of the BW fun. I think it's the best option. But that's just me.

Yeah, they knew exactly what weekend I was calling for. I think we keep that city alive! :7

I'm booked at the BW now also. woo woo.

that's a hell of a plan. bring some tents and we're set :thumbsup

although, its gonna be hot as HELL. It would be nice to sleep in AC

did you not get a room mister buck? :-) you were their biggest supporter and they didnt save you a room. LOL.

i say we just camp out!!! if we need A/C we can hop in our cars... or go to a bar..

I think some of you guys who called for reservation at BW are getting a shitty deal...I reserved mine online, the 13th was $106 and the 14th was $114 for a room with 2 doubles, non-smoking though, I don't know if that makes a difference.

i dunno man...camping out sounds fun...only issues would be heat, bathroom, and showering IMO. I'ma still try n get a room someplace...I didn't think that Norwalk Inn would fill up so quick :( I'll call around and see wtf is up with other places, i'll post up some prices n whatnot.

Man I live like an hour and a half at MOST from norwalk...I'm staying at my apt...anyone is welcome to drive the extra distance and stay with me if they like.

I'm bringing a tent and my charm. Stef and I are going to either be camping at the track, or finding a floor... maybe a park bench...

Yeah, I'll most likely end up camping too. That will be cool. We gotta find a place where we can have a fire though. I wonder if they allow camping & contained fires at or near the track.

i remember seeing places where they had fires last year...so i assume its all good. We could have a lil 2gnt camping community at teh track. :thumbsup

also, just an FYI, i believe you have to participate in the races to camp at the track, and i doubt they will let you camp any day other than saturday.

i'll race both days if thats the case :shrug...i was planning on it anyway...i need a lil experience under my belt :thumbsup
