USAC Racing Forum

Do we have a Hotel that will be used for the Indy Race in July?  Any recommendations?

I thought I gave you the city name my family recommended as a good place to stay.  I can't remember if off the top of my head, but I will dig up the emails with them and let you know when I see you this weekend.  I know it was about 10 - 15 minutes from the track.  My cousin in an Indianapolis Police Officer so she knows the places to avoid pretty well. :)

If you can stay downtown it’s pretty nice to just walk around at night, mall, movies, good restaurants, carriage rides and even a crackers comedy club.  Rock Bottom is a great place to eat and is right across the corner from the Embassy and across from the mall.  The Embassy is nice and includes a cook to order breakfast buffet which is awesome and an indoor pool and for those that drink a social hour.

The official USAC hotel for the .25 Midget Nationals is....

COMFORT SUITES
500 W. Northfield Dr.
Brownsburg, IN 46112
(317) 852-2000

Mention USAC Nationals to get the discounted rate.  Alan Bolante is the GM there and a huge racing fan! 

Guests of this Brownsburg, IN hotel will enjoy superior amenities, including free deluxe continental breakfast, free coffee, free weekday newspaper and free local calls. Guests will also enjoy the fitness center and indoor pool.

Business travelers will appreciate modern conveniences like free high-speed Internet access in all rooms and public areas, two telephone lines, and access to copy and fax services. There is also a business center available.

This all-suite property offers rooms equipped with microwaves, refrigerators, coffee makers, irons and ironing boards. Don't forget to ask about the whirlpool suites. Handicap accessible suites are also available.

This is a very nice and clean hotel I have stayed there many times, it is one exit down from the Speedway.  About 8 miles away. 

Made our hotel reservation today...now we are getting really excited...July won't be able to get here fast enough!!!

I am not to familiar to this Hotel.,Can you add some pictures and details about this hotel.,/

This hotel also has a I believe it is KMART in front of it an a Bob Evans, it is close to everything right off the expressway it is a very clean hotel.

We had a tornado close, and they woke every room up to come downstairs very good hotel.

I will tell you the toughest part of getting a room is finding a place that will accept a dog.  Dear me it took several calls before I finally found one.  See you all in Indy.  Maybe if my husband would do the calling and the hunting he would listen to me about getting a mobile home!  So far no luck! ::)

I have heard from family members that there is a Holiday Inn Express somewhere close to the areas of this hotel that does accept pets.  I don't know the specifics, but I am sure google probably has more information. :)

Thanks Scott,  I was able to find a motel not far from the track that looks ok and will accept pets but it sure did take some work to find one.  We showed dogs many years ago and never did I have a problem finding a motel guess times have changed do to inconsiderate individuals.

See you in Indy looking forward to the experience.  Should be a good show of cars, handlers, and drivers.  Plus that I know that James will make sure it runs smoothly.

Just FYI-

Drury Inn's take dogs- they are always welcome- you just have to sign a document when you check in.  There is a new Drury in Indy- (and there is an older one too) we got a great rate for the week at the new Drury, actually got a great rate on a suite.  Drury has free hot breakfast- eggs, sausage, gravy, biscuits, juice, donuts, muffins, waffles, french toast, etc.  Plus free soda, chips, veggies/dip and cocktails in the evenings for a specified time.  Free soda and popcorn until 10:00 every night-  Drury offers lots of corporate discounts, promotions and they offer group rates at a steep discount.  It is a nice place to stay, clean and comfortable and they offer some great deals.

Mindy,

You should ask them for a little $ and decals for the car after that pitch ;D. "The DV Racing 160 sponsored by Drury Inn and Suites" has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

It was nice seeing you this past weekend and thanks for the video. We'll look forward to seeing you at IMS next month.

Another option is the Candlewood Suites on Bash RD.  They are the official hotel of Mini Indy.  They have a room for $69. Just call the hotel directly and ask for the fairgounds "mini indy" rate. Also for you QMA members Mini Indy is having a 50 Lap JR. Honda feature on July 4th for those not going to Mac-o-Chee but want to get a race in before the Nationals.

wre going low buck on a room for indy, got a motel 6, 3 miles away on debonair for 154.00 for 4 nights. i must say im a little worried. anyone know what kind of neighborhood this is. should i pack my .38 special?lol

Yes, However Indy is a realitively safe town with alot of respect for racers.  Just wear your USAC shirt to identify yourself. 

Seriously,  that is not a bad area.  Have a safe trip.

Hey smoke, whats their number?  Downtown is safe, we used to walk our kids down there after their hockey games and when i got off work.

We stayed in a Motel 6 in SW Indiana a couple of weekends ago when we were there to watch Lauren race the 600 was clean but no coffee pot in the room and no free breakfast which was ok with us.  they let us have the dog in the room and was very reasonable.  That is an excellent price we are staying a short distance from 465 and 38 near the speedway our cost is about 400 for the 4 nights so think you got a deal.

Hey Smoke how is the ice cream holding up in West Liberty since we are coming to work?  Just wondering I hope they know the racers are in town.  Weather looks like will be great!

Anxious for the Indy show hope rain stays away and it is not as hot as the last weeks have been.
Looking forward to seeing all the Florida bunch too.  Everyone drive safe!

got the number online at motel 6. were not going to hang out there that much just shower,shave and sleep, and hopefully a/c that works. im still going to be packing!!! we stay downtown for the motocross and love it but i can only afford one night. the motel 6 was cheaper than the camp groung i checked on.  the ice cream is good as ever granny, just had some sunday after practicing. the track is looking good and it is fast. we had a couple sr. honda cars in the 5.70's. cant wait.
