Or you can stay out in Union on Friday night as well, but definately want to be closer to the track for Saturday night. Its a little drive from Union to the track on Saturday morning, I think about 65-80 miles? Not sure, I just know it seemed like quite a while when I was cruising along by myself.

It's probably 55 miles to the track from Union (Mapquest says 54.05 miles), almost all interstate driving. Most folks do "relocate" to the Illinois side for Friday & Saturday nights, to cut down on the drivetime Saturday morning. That is, those who don't hang around my shop until 2am looking at paperwork, pictures & parts...  I'm not complaining though, as I got some free help loading up the R/T out of the deal. |

Sure seems like a longer drive than that when your humming along at 3,800 rpm on a dark highway in a car without a radio. Seems like it takes forever.  |

Seems like it takes forever. funny I didn't see this post-- driving to the DSAC meet this past fall I plugged my Shure in-ear headphones into my iPod and it made the trip a LOT better. Hell--it killed most of the road noise! |

Fairview Heights is on Interstate 64 Maybe alittle over 5 miles from the track. So when leaving the track you go south and exit onto 64 east and then go I think maybe 3 exits and then the hotel is a little over 1/4 mile north of the exit ramp.
So basically instead of going NE from the track you will go E.
Fairview Heights has the big mall, lots more restaurants. The hotel is on the north side of the interstate and the mall is South.

No we have always been at Collinsville at the Holiday INN, because of the date change it was unavailable for MM weekend because of other things in the area.
Brent & I were over at FVH a couple of weeks ago and stopped by the Four Pts. It looks like a very nice hotel and the meeting room area is very nice and has a entrance without going through the lobby if someone is not staying there and comes for the info meetings. Talked to the girl at the checkin desk and they are all very excited to have MM groups there, some of them used to work at the Holiday INN and so they enjoy all the cars Etc. It has a very large parking lot and if needed also a grassy area for trailers.

OK on board for saturday at the Sheraton, too--
now all I need (beyond a HUGE dose of motivation) is an OD 833 trans for the petty car and it's as good as there! that's one way to save on gas, right?
