Closest hotels/motels are in Plymouth which is only about 6 miles away from the track. AmercInn is one option I know of in town there. Another is the Plymouth Inn.

I've heard that RA is a gas guzzler but how is it on the tires?

If you ride like me your tires will last a long time. 
My goal this year is to wear out more tires I'll be up there with my still primer gray ZX6 on the 30th. I will also be camping up there the next weekend for the Superbike races. Bring on the burning couches & mopeds!!! (you would have had to be there)

Speaking of tire wear I WILL be avoiding the burn-out pits since it was a bit expensive last year. :doh:

In for monday as well. First time at RA (on a bike). There once in my car.
Question, when camping, do they have showers, or is everyone camping have an RV?

S3aturnR - whatever you can get done in advance, it will be time well spent.
If you need your suspension set up, then email Joe at Joe@turnoneracing.com, or call him at (815) 519-6267. Try to set up an appointment PRIOR to the trackway. You'll want to give yourself a session or two to let you suspension fluids get warmed up first. Unless of course, you have setting issues that need to be dealt with first thing.
I'll be there for both days. Wooo Hoooo!

Well Squegee I'm in the slower pace inSquegee;187630 wrote: RA isnt to bad on tires unlike Putnam. Its a VERY wide open (throttle) track. Your better to have more hp than tires
Never hurts to bring a couple sets just in case, all depending on your pace.
and have maybe 2 more days on my rear so hopefully I should be ok then. I'll bring an extra set just in case. I know to bring more than 1 fuel container for sure. Here's where I'll be stay'n & it's pretty much the same price as the others mentioned in an earlier post.
