There is the brand new Resorts World Catskills Casino, it’s getting mixed reviews but may be worth a roll of the dice...I couldn’t resist

Thanks, will check it out. My bigger problem is Woodbury Commons is close enough to be dangerous.

Yes it is, I was just there a few weeks ago. Did some major damage myself.

Btw....Monticello hands down is best track this event is being held at, just for scenery alone. You will love it!

I just got a good rate at a relais & chateau property in Milford PA - a little less than 30 miles from Monticello and only a few minutes out of the way from DC.

It's called Hotel Fauchere.

If you haven't seen the Relais & Chateau properties, you'll like them. Inn at Little Washington is a good example.

Honestly you can have just as much fun if not more doing DE for same price. Yes you get to drive their M cars but part of the day is filled with 1/4 mike race and auto-x which isn’t terribly exciting. The road course part is limited by a pace car who makes sure everyone is within reach so any slow drivers in group will be a limiting factor. Not to mention last I did this they didn’t even open the full course.

That said the track is beautiful and pretty cool to check out since it’s members only but I wouldn’t get down about about missing out. If you’re willing to put your e92 on track, you’ll have just as much fun signing up with PCA or CCA at Watkins or Lime Rock imo.

I was up there last year with a friend:

1/4 doesn't excite me at all. The autoX is fun for bragging rights though! At Thermal M School they let me and another student peel off the main groups with an instructor. It's was the three of us going around the slower groups.

I booked the Marriott in Middletown which, if you drive directly from Woodbury Commons to the track, is half way between the two. Plan is to Woodbury Thurs then BMW Fri.

Guess who came up with this brilliant plan - hint - it wasn't me.

Not sure you can do this.

The ticket is tied to a name and they check your driver's license.
