One point that is relevant here is that the Host Hotel should be 10-15 minutes MAX from the track.
Worked perfectly at WGI, Pocono, Fontana etc.
Incidentally,..the host hotel was a hike from Road America but the real scoop was to stay at the MacDaddy hotel down the block (walking distance) from the Track. So that counts in my book.
Or VIR for those of us lucky enough to stay “on the pad.”
Anything farther than 15 minutes is a pain in the azz.
