    I got to go last year, hang out in the media center and interview some of the drivers for a friend's tv show. This event draws drivers and fans from all over the world. If you are anywhere on the east coast, you want to check out this event.

    Sounds like fun. I know a good site called, www.worldwideetravel.com , where you can actually review eateries matched to the place you are interested in traveling. It has great deals and thousands of reviews on hotels. You all may like viewing hotels there for booking.
