I will need you guys to collaborate and get me a head count of whos in and whos not. He has other people interested and needs some sort of commitment within the next month.

I cant stress enough how hard it is to get hotels near the track. Virtually impossible unless you want to pay $350-400 a night. Most people opt to stay somewhere within driving distance but to get the full experience, if you can stay at a place where you dont have to drive at all its huge.

Again, the price will depend on how many are staying.

Where is Kev staying? I mean, who all is for sure going? If we're talking about opening weekend, that's when I'm going.

From what I know, its Kev, Scavs and Curt for sure. Maybe Dell, but he would probably be staying with his buddies from Chicago in a hotel like last year. Kev stayed with me but my place is very small and I will leave it up to him on whether he might want to stay in this house instead.

I live about a 10 min walk from the track and this place is half that distance.

But yes, it is opening weekend for sure. I would assume you would want this place at least Friday & Saturday night. That would work out fine.

From what I know right now, Dell might be able to help me on the hotel situation, but I'll keep you posted.

I am not certain on what weekend yet, so don't include me on the head count on the house rental. Also, as long as her health is ok, I am going to bring my Grandmother along. She saw Toga during the ESPN broadcast and made it a point to tell me she wanted to go sometime soon.

His place would be perfect for you and your Grandma. You wouldnt have to drive anywhere all weekend once you get to his place. I dont think anyone realizes how hard it is to find hotels here, so I wouldnt wait too long. Hard to get gamblers to want to spend money on anything besides vouchers, I know that!

Yea we're going for sure and will be staying in a hotel though the house sounds great. Some other DTers will be with us but heck it will be one big party at the track and afterwards.

A full-blooded Irishman might fly in from Dublin for this one....
