Here's my itinerary thus far that I'm most likely gonna pull the trigger on...

Arrive Tampa at noon Tuesday Feb 24th
Leave Tampa 10:30 Mon March 2

Round trip direct flights plus rental car is gonna run me $387

I figure most everyone will come in on Wednesday or Thursday.

In regards to the hotel, I need some opinions. There are a couple decent ones rignt down the road from the track. Holiday Inn express is $139/night. I don't know how you guys feel about 3 to a room, but if we did that, after taxes it would be $50-$55 a night. Those that would prefer just 2 to a room, by all means. Depending on how many make the trip, a 2nd rental would maybe be a smart idea.

Talk to me.

Flight booked

Arrive Tampa Thur 2/26 at noon
Leave Tampa Sun 3/1 at 1120 am
Fare $244 round trip

No issues with 3 to a room

Second rental car will likely be needed.

You gotta be kidding me. I go to book this a little bit ago and now Southwest is telling me this package is now $714. F*ck off.

Sounds good Kev. PM me some suggestions on accommodations if you can.

I'm thinking once i get a good head count, I may make some inquiries into booking a few rooms all at the same joint. I feel like most everybody knows each other well enough that we can double up and split room costs. That's more money for some exacta back wheels at the dog track. Priorities, ya know...
