Hey Dave,

I've stayed a couple times at the Embassy Suites there. Free beer at night and a great breakfast in the AM. Everything I look for in a room.

I'm planning a trip there also, but that place is a little rich for my blood.  Any other ideas?

Yes, it isn't cheap, but a couple beers for me, a glass of wine for my wife, free soda for the kids at the end of the day, plus the breakfast saves me at least $50. I'm not sure what else is there, but 40 lives there and I am sure he will jump in.

Dave, I stayed at a Micro-tel there last fall on my way west. Wasn't the Ritz but it was clean and adequate. I don't remember how much but it most definately was under a $100. Not to far away was a place called (I think) American Steak it had an all you could eat steak buffet which if I remember correctly was $10.
Some days it\'s not worth chewing through the restraints.

I would call ahead to Speedway and find out if they have any tours of the museum schedualed for Thursday. The way it used to be was that they only did schedualed tours and they didn't let you roam free. We checked years ago as a place to stop before Speedweek. Linda was then going to visit my mother in Denver and I was going to proceed to Bonneville. They had a tour schedualed and said that we would be allowed to tag along with it. Also on that occasion Bill Smith was going to be leading the tour which I guess would be the premier way to do it. I'd hate to hear you made the trip and couldn't see anything. GPster

How's the area around the Day's Inn on West O street near the freeway? I found a room there for a little over $50, and it looks like it's not that far from Speedway.

Dave, I'm in Lincoln. The above mentioned place is easy to find and not real far from Speedway. The Day's inn is closer and right off the interstate on O street which runs thru town from east to west. Speedway is about 2 miles from there. Speedways # is 1-800-979-0122 which is a new toll free one. Have to go but will try and think of any other places.  There's also a super 8 in the area of the micro-tel

I think they do tours daily (except sundays) during the summer since there are a lot of people traveling thru. Forgot to mention that.

Bob is right....the tours are daily except Sunday.They begin after lunch in the early afternoon as I recall.There is a Super 8 on Cornhusker Hiway just West of 27th street that is reasonable and has a continental breakfast.....not sure about internet hookups.Dave,If you are coming across on I-80.....I'm about 80 miles North.....a bit out of your way but you and Sue would be more than welcome to a soft bed and a hot shower.....MAYBE.....even something cold to drink!It's about 2 1/2 hours from my door to Speedway.Travel safe and have fun!
