C5 C6 bash
My wife and I are going down to Bowling Green for the C5 C6 bash next April. Can anyone suggest the best holel to stay at ? We are looking for one with a nice restaurant bar within walking distance.

The party is at the Baymont, but I believe that the Hampton is right next door. It's a great time. Zuti

My wife and I typically stay at the Courtyard Marriot in Bowling Green. It is right on Scottsville road and within walking distance to a few good restaurants. The only downside is that it is about 6 miles from the Museum. For the Cruise-In most stay at the Baymont, off Scottsville road as well a few miles away.

We'll be at the birthday bash as well. It was a great time last year.

We were thinking about attending next year. What's the main draw other than the NCM? I saw several site-seeing cruises, autocross and drags listed on website. Anything like a mini-Carlisle? Vendors,etc?

We don't stay at the hotel any more, as we moved here (Scottsville) in February

My wife and I also stay at the Baymont. There are several good restaurants in the area, as others have mentioned, but nobody mentioned there is also a White Castle within walking distance, too. Also the mall isn't too far a walk if your significant other has had enough of cars for a while. It makes for a pleasant vacation and my wife enjoys going to Bowling Green every time (and not just because of the mall). If you haven't been there, if you've forgotten, there also tours of the plant where your car was born.

Thanks
Thanks for all the advice, I can't wait for April. I've been an avid race fan for longer than I'd like to admit and have seen the the current Pratt & Miller C5R and then C6R team run several times at Road America. The chance to meet some of the team members in person is awsome, I hope they are included in the 2006 plans.

This is where all the fun is. We stay there every time we go to BG about 4 times a year. You will have as much fun at Baymont at night as you will have at the C5/C6 Bash in the daytime.
