First time I went to INdy for the USGP we could only find a room 45 minutes away in Bloomington, home of IU. That's what true FANS do. I'm sure you and VR will have a beer at turn 1 whether it's 2012 or 2013.
Something tells me you are mistaken.

... and raise you a $265 / night, Red Roof Inn, with a Four Night Minimum in 2000! Yea, it was in Indy close to the airport and my "refrigerator" were two really, really nice big plastic trash cans. The motel was only 3 months old too, so I had THAT going for me, which was nice.

And it wasn't a dump. It was a 3 month old brand new Red Roof Inn with some upgrades OK?

Thinking that the AusTex raceway should probably make the venue a little more accessible to folks. They should have some under $100 General Admission tickets available for the newly curious.
