I'm getting ready to make my travel arrangements for Orlando and was hoping some of you vets could give me the scoop on places to stay, where you want to be etc...I tried searching the web for a "newbz guide to The Orlando Race" but to no avail Seriously though, I'm gonna have to do this on a budget and don't want to waste money. Any help would be much appreciated!

Well if you don't need to be in the Orlando area try Tittusville, hotels are a little cheaper but your not in the "center" of everything. Are you flying down or driving?

We are heading down to make the race in Bradenton and then staying the week to make Orlando.

I want desperately to make both but I just don't have the leave from work. I'm still trying to weigh my options as far as drive vs. fly. I'd like to be near where the action is if possible. I don't mind paying a bit extra to not have to worry about driving to the hot spots if that makes sense...I do tend to enjoy the cold ones after dark and would rather not have to get a taxi to get around. If I fly down I'll rent a car when I get there. There is a Hooters meet sometime during the weekend, no?

 

[Drag Radial]

I'm thinking the deal with Hooters is on Thursday night just like it used to be at Race Rock.

Is there another forum or place where I can find out that kind of info?
There isn't really a thread for that here, yet anyway

Cocoa beach is the place to stay, couple nice boobie and regular bars. If you get tired of the racing you got a beach, fishing pier and you also get to wake up in a clean room over looking the beaches and ocean, we stayed at the raddison, About 25 minutes from the track.
stay clear of toothlessville stayed there 2 years ago and its a shit hole, stayed at the quality inn and it was moldy like a mofo.
Good luck

What is your budget? We are flying out of Atlantic City for a 200 dollar round trip, staying at the Marriot Suites hotel which is 100 per night(6 miles from the track), and rented a Chevy Aveo for 4 days which is 125.00 for the 4 days. Any question just shoot me a PM.

Awesome guys. Now I've got a place to start looking.

i live 5 min from track and with ucf next door there is plenty of clean rooms. car randy or betty at osw track office they have a list of hotels close to stay at.

 

[looking4vr]

Sorry, whats ucf?

If you stay in the UFC / Waterford Lakes area you should be good. It's only about 10 minutes from the track, right next to Hooters, and a lot of other restaurants and such right there.

 

[looking4vr]

BINGO. Thats what I'm talking about. Close proximity to stuff (ie; walk to stuff vs. drive...drinky drinky) and close to the track. What the hell does UFC/UCF stand for??

 

[NA/Fan88]

Try flying out of A.C. thats what me and my dad are doing and its saving us a lot of money! Were flying Spirit

 

[TOPLESS63]

[TOPLESS63]

[wnarce68]

[looking4vr]

Thanks. Clears that up

I don't know if I want to drive 3 hours north to get on a plane though. I guess I gotta compare the $ for the tickets. Do most people come in on Thursday or Friday? And when are leaving to come home, Monday?

 

[ReiKo]
