    Airbnb is good advice. I know DOD crew rents a house for the week. I also think there are villas in some of the campgrounds that can be rented. Just be careful what area you stay in regardless of the type accommodation.

      gb81racing go to the beach. St Pete to Clearwater you should be able to find something reasonable. Then you have lots of options for things to do as well, but you end up 30-40 minutes from track. It makes for a nice getaway!

        Clearwater/St.Pete is a great option- just be reminded of the evening traffic going thru Tampa to the track- it is hectic at that time of day. It beats the heck out of being in a motel in Brandon all week!

Charter a boat or hop on a head boat out of Johns Pass or Clearwater. Let the bashing begin. East Bay car count estimates? How many cars will Screven draw?

            I have started looking into the Airbnb now. It’s a lot cheaper, I’m just not sure about staying in someone else’s house with them there. I want to be able to do my own thing without interacting with the owners

              Yep- motels in Brandon are $$$. Lots to choose from tho. We left the motels a couple years ago for condo in Ruskin at “Little Harbour” About the same $$ as a motel but a condo on the water during the day & after the short nights at East Bay!


              The pics look good, but how is it really? lol

                Do one where they aren’t there.

                Be weird as he!! trying to stay in a strangers house, especially if they are there.

                I know it’s popular, I just couldn’t do it.
                Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                      It’s really nice. Private-gated community out on the point. Inlet on one side & the bay on the other. 2 marinas & 2 full service restaurants with tiki bars on the water. Awesome beach & walking trails, fishing, boardwalk piers, tennis & basketball courts, swimming pools. Plenty to do during the daytime & only 15 minutes straight up 41 to the track. Very secure & security guards at the entrance gate. The awesome “Fish House” is about 1 mile away & about $850 for 7 nights. We rent the studio condo from private owner (as all the condos are). After finding this little village- we couldn’t believe we had stayed in motels in Brandon for so long.

                        When I visit somewhere, I always look for two things. Is there a dirt track, and are there mountain bike trails? We all know Tampa has East Bay Raceway, but did you know there are world class mountain bike trails just 20 minutes from East Bay. You read that right... Florida has spectacular mountain bike trails. Alafia River State Park and Balm Boyette Nature Preserve have some really awesome trails, if you do not have "real" mountain bike there are several places you can rent one in the area; AJ's Bikes and on the weekends you can rent a bike at Alafia. A little further to the east is Loyce E. Harpe Park. These 3 trail systems are top notch.
                        In the aDLMr drivers are rewarded for showing up often and performing well against the top competition!!!
