Don't have that worked out yet, but I can drop you an email if you want when we get that figured out. I'm pulling for somewhere CLOSE to the track so we don't have a long drive while hungover.

Yeah, it is borne of that damned drive from the Hampton Inn down to the Atlanta Motor Speedway with my eyes propped open with toothpicks still half-buzzed from drinking with Torry, Matt, Scott and everybody else the night before. I hate that drive.

Unfortunately, that's one of the closest hotels to AMS.

No **** Sherlock. I know that but I still hate feeling like I'm driving a gauntlet of Hampton cops while hungover and half-awake.

Get ready for a big disappointment fellas, there is not a hotel really close to the NMS. My guess would be Lebanon or Lebanon? I think there might be one off of 109 near the Dell plant, but still not sure.

I'm going to post this in the hotel thread too, but does anyone want to split a room? (In a totally non gay manloving kind of way)
