See you all there. I sure hope the lobster feast is back on Monday and that I can reserve a bunk there Sunday night, assuming Brenda is willing to share again! I just booked a room with 2 queen beds for fri and sat night at the Hampton Inn. I will post closer to the event if the 2nd bed is available to cut costs. By the way, I had much better success with room availability and rates on the Hampton Inn site versus what I saw on Expedia.
Presque Isle is a few miles south of Caribou which is the closest town to the base. I stayed at the Caribou Inn the first year and it was ok though the big atrium pool area smelled too strong of chlorine to hang out there. It does have a restaraunt and bar onsite which was ok but nothing to write home about. The Hampton Inn in Presque Isle was just being finished the 1st year so I stayed there last year. It cost more but it is new and comfy and the management tried hard to make our stay enjoyable. A few employees checked out our event and had fun there. The Hampton Inn did have one group of racers book 6 rooms and not show up or cancel and the Inn lost some money due to turning people away so they may not do a special deal for us this year. No bar but they sold beer for consumption in the lobby area only and there is a nice pub right down the hill. There is also a subway, coffee joint and Walmart across the road to cover other needs and a few nice restaraunts in town if you want to binge. I didn't last year in anticipation of the lobster feast Monday in Popham Beach!
Just a news flash for everyone. We started a project in late the fall to improve the track. It has been very successful and I am happy to announce that we are expecting a 24" shipment of fresh whitetop today.
