guys, our main hotel will be the Holiday Inn South in Lakeland. This is the same hotel we used for the FAI Team Trials that everyone liked so much. There is night life, any type of restaurants and shopping in close proximity, and is only 15 minutes or so from the field. Free wireless, Olympic sized pool, heated whirlpool, gym, etc... The room rate I got is $72.00 per night double occupancy with twin queen sized beds. Mention you are in town for the
Southern 500 Pylon Race for the reduced rate. I reserved 10 for now, but if we fill those, I may be able to get a few more.
Here is an info sheet and contact information for the hotel.
And a Merry Christmas to everyone too!
