Russell,
I am going to send a copy of this to the vintage race group as well, as a
racer in that group might be more familiar with lodging in that area than I
that can also help you out.
I don't know of any bed & breakfast places. I know they are there, just
have not stayed in them. We have stayed at either the Doubletree or the
Holiday Inn in Monterey. This time of year, getting reservations on race
weekend is tough. However, this is also the time of year many are finding
out if their entry was accepted or not and there may be cancellations
opening rooms up.
If nothing is available, you might try Salinas. Actually traffic wise it is
probably better than coming from Monetrey to the track. It is also a short
drive from there to Monterey/Carmel. Enjoy your trip, wish we could work it
into our schedule this year.
Jerry
