Where to stay??

[racerx69]

Im coming to VIR for my first track day this year. This may be a dumb ? but where does everybody stay during the track day weekend? The facility lodging, which looks pricey, camp, or nearby hotel??:dunno:

I have stayed at the Lodge which $99/night and the Hampton in Danville almost the same price.

I stay in my hauler but the rooms at the paddock are nice. I stayed there for an SED and was glad to have a nice soft bed for the weekend.

The Day's Inn on Riverside Drive in Danville is where I've stayed with friends a couple of times. I think the room was about $80 per night plus tax.

Awesome peeps thanx for the info. U have been a big help!

Yeah... just get a room at the Lodge.... right on VIR property and reasonable rates.

VIR on-site in order of quality and price (1 being the best)
1) The Villas at South Bend (condos, very nice, but not cheap)
2) The Lodge (around $100), nice
3) Around $100, crappy (in my opinion) for around $100 but you are right over the garages for North course so, you just walk downstairs to the track. And you have your own bathrooms right in the paddock.

I stay in my trailer now, but I have stayed in all three locations. I prefer the Villas, but then I am prissy like that.

I stayed in the ones Meat called crappy. I thought they were fine. No carpet on the floors kinda gives it a dormitory feel, but it's very convenient when riding the North course.
Guess Meat is prissier than me, LOL!!! Beats driving from Danville, IMHO.

Next time, I'll try the Lodge. The on-site restaurant is nice, too.

The Lodge, jacuzzi tubs ftw after a long day of riding.

 

[HondaGalToo]

Jacuzzi??? That settles it!!!

 

[daddyfriedrich]

rough it. bring a shower curtain to lay on the ground. wussies.

 

[dbakerpa]

DAHAAM I didnt know about the jacuzzis. Beats the plastic shower at the paddock. Not to mention after the SED I needed a 10 hour jacuzzi

Staying in the rooms over the garages in the paddock is great on a HOT VIR day. Sneak in for A/C or even a quick shower off. Sit outside the door and see the fast finishing straight! Beds and tubs are better at the lodge though. Good stuff...

The truth does hurt sometimes.

When I stay at the villas, I can also get a massage and a facial, and a mani-pedi at their on-site salon.

Danville has the closest hotels. There's one next to the Hampton that's about 50-60 a night. Then there VIR's on-site facilities of course. Or you could always just pitch a tent if you're a good sleeper. Expect to be woken early from someone starting and riding their bike around, though.

i depend on that. it's the best sounding alarm clock, imho...

if you pitch a tent, just make sure you have some sort of sleeping pad to put under your sleeping bag. there isn't any soft terrain in the paddock.

VIP Suites (over the garage) is the program - also at NJMP same room, same price - have an airconditioned lunch and a hot shower at the end of the day before libations ensue
