Google it will be your best bet. The strip is virtually a stone's throw from the town so any motel in Grand Bend will be a short drive.

Saturday and Sunday are all both nostalgia racing only plus some show cars and the hemi Challenge.
Sunday is a points day for ONDR
(Ontario Nostalgia Drag Racers)But I think all 74 and older car will be welcomed into our 3 to 4 classes.
Nostalgia street 12.50 and up. (Foot Brake) Nostalgia Gas 10.5 to 12.5 (foot Brake)
Nostalgia Comp 10.99 and down T brakes alowed but not delay Boxes or non solid throttle stops.
No electronic fuel injection in any class
Or you may be encouraged to run in our pro comp class T brakes allowed but all other electronics must be removed from the car.
May be more classes depending on what cars show up?? The Hemi Challenge is sponsored by Modern and FHO
I'll scan a flyer tomorrow but for the real rules e-mail Rick at
rpracing@execulink.com

It's been a few years since I've been to Grand Bend for their IHRA national event, but I've always stayed at the Patio Motel. When driving towards town from the track, it's on the left, just before you get to the main intersection. There is a grocery store across the street.

Hopefully the same Polish lady runs it. It was always neat with your basic necessities and home cooking. Tell her Myron, the Polish race car driver from Florida, sent you!
her name might be "Marty".
