Sure I am. You can pay $100 for the weekend to stay at the track or $150-$200 per night to stay at a "pay by the hour" flee bag. At least you'll know that your motor home is clean.

THIS is why I am an avid RVer !

BUTTTT you can also park outside the north pit gate fur fReE !

Sure, you can park outside the gates. But you will be asked to leave if you are there after the gates close. It is outside the licensed camping area and against the rules of both the township and County Health Department. The track will be fined for allowing it and it puts their camping permit in jeopardy.
But hey, it's all about being "smarter than the system", right?
BTW: The camping fee is nothing new: this has been policy since the first year camping was allowed in the pits.

You're showing your age Doc.

The days of $20 a night cheap hotels are long gone, a cheap hotel is at least $40 a night normally these day.

A decent chain motel is usually $60 a night at an absolute minimum. (Motel 6, Econo Lodge, etc)
They are are cheaper sometimes when they run a special of some sort.



The place we stay at, the Deluxe Inn in Hebron is normally $55 a night for the Nats it's $90 to $100 a night depending on one or two beds.
It's old, but it's usually clean and there's a fridge and microwave in the room.
We've been staying there for about 10 years now and the owner is always good to us.
We always reserve the room for next year as soon as we get there.

Yo Rich ... showing my age ? .. I allege these are stories my grandfather told me !

Now YOU are well seasoned enuff to know how Motel 6 coined their name ??!!

The only thing that I may know about Motel 6 is why they leave the lights on.


I've always heard it was to keep the roaches from coming out.

We only stayed at one once, trying to sleep on the floor would have more comfortable.

SIX DOLLARS per nite

Now look at it ! .... motel and hotel rates have SKYROCKETED way past inflation...

Let em EAT CAKE ....
