Heh. Just asking. It's near ye olde ancestral manse ;D, and I'm curious as to how much action is being drawn there to the Southside.
I'd recommend the Holiday Inn Express on Rt 58 in South Boston as being a nice motel and closest place to the track, methinks. There are a few restaurants, etc. in SoBo, but more in Danville, to the west.
I was just out in that part of the world last week; found out about the races too late to change my plans to stop by. :-[
