Again, on a budget... but I really hope to have a JOB by then, which means I may not have the time off... Camping is probably available near the Elkhart Lake region... just look up Wisconsin State Parks... |

I just want to ride with other Buellers and hang out. I don't really care where. Does anyone know the roads around Elkhart? Any nice ones? Will the traffic from the race(s) degrade the riding experience? |

Oh yeah, there is a great little stretch of Kettle Morraine State Forest just southwest of Elkhart... give me a few and I will try to figure it out as there is probably camping there also... |

Milt lots of roads in the area. Ian your right they are high. They all will be in the area to a degree with the Superbike races goin on. What you all need to do is double or triple or even fours to a room to make the rate cheap. You really won't spend that much time there anyways. |

I left a trout stream in SW WI to drive over and hobble around the Erik Buell Racing parking lot for a few hours. Think I'll do it again, w/o the cane. Is there a day at the shop? |

Matt, I am nuts, that's why I'm counting every day. Dana, I went and watched it and it took less than 10 minutes. It boiled while I looked into it. The tea tastes good. Court, Do you have a guesstimate on the room prices at race time? |

>>>Court, Do you have a guesstimate on the room prices at race time? Varies widely . . on how close you are to the track. HERE is a complete listing of hotels in the area. We stayed at Victorian Village last time. It was the nicest joint, but perfectly alright. The cool part was that we had a Lakeside Suite overlooking the Tiki Bar. There are tons of places . . the key is to not wait, the stuff fills up quickly by a month before race time. |

Also there are motels surrounding the area in Plymouth,sheboygan, etc. that are a hop skip and a jump. http://www.elkhartlake.com/lodging/ |

I have never been to the races so maybe this will be the year? I have been to a few homecomings though and always had a good time! |

Any thoughts as to where we should meet at Road America? Turn 1 or Turn 3? There should be enough room at either of these turns. |

Is there a place for comprehensive info on the weekend? Or is there anything other than find your own place to stay and go to the races? |
