Who is all going to Scheid Diesel Extravaganza?



What hotel is everyone going to stay at or what hotel does all the fun happen at?

Going to try to get over there. Not a big fan of Terre Haute, but want to check it out, since I missed IRP

I'd be interested in knowing when everyone gets there, where the majority stay, etc too.

Me either, but I'll be there. Usually most people stay at the Drury Inn or the Pear Tree. They share parking lots. I don't know about this year though as last year they had the police doing patrols so I guess they didn't appreciate all the extra rubber n' smoke.



All I know for sure is pick a place and make a reservation. I've never been to a town where the hotels were sold out so often.

we went last year, it was alot of fun. i dont remember what hotel we stayed at but they did share a parking lot with another hotel i believe. i did a nice burnout in the parkinglot too!! i talked to a couple sheriffs when we were leaving the fairgrounds and he told me they wouldnt pull you over for the smoke, but they better not catch you spinning the tires. i raced quite a few people in that town that night!

I was at IRP, so I don't know if I'll go, or not. If it stays this not, won't go. Was dang hot last year.

Well, that is a bad weekend for me and Diesel stuff. I will be in Bristol, TN for the NASCAR race. Can't miss that it will be my first trip down there. -Jason

Where's the cheapest hotel in Terra Haute? I'm tired of paying like $80 a night for staying in the Drury/Pear Tree (which ever is closer to the interstate). Any hotels for like $50-60 a night?

 

[brianv31]

cheaper than Drury/Pear Tree

Mark,

mopars1 says that the Econo Lodge's parking lot butts up against the Drury/Pear Tree property where the action is. Econo Lodge was about half the price of Pear Tree. Drury was about $20 more yet than Pear Tree. I didn't make the reservation, but I'm thinking I was told the Econo Lodge room for 2 dbls was in the $50s.

Thanks for the tip! Booked up a room @ the Econo Lodge $52 Thurs & Fri night (AAA price), $62 Sat night



Sure beats the heck out of $80 a night. Oo.



Thanks again!

cheap hotels

There's more up the street, just gotta go north on 3rd street (US41) closer to 'downtown'. I think there's a Dollar Inn or something, has a sign 29. 99 on the building, it's behind the Bob Evans just off the interstate. . IIRC.

 

[pro99]

Hey Do you have the number to the econo lodge? It sounds like the place to be
