Johnny Mac, funny you should mention my name...I just noticed this thread. Damn it, Big Bob, Phil Remington, Cal Metal, yours truly, et all are all going to Elkhart in July for the vintage races...suffice it to say there's no way in Hell I can be back there for the Northwoods stuff. If I were rich and famous like Jay or KeithW, I'd just take the Gulfstream IV and have the Boys bring the semi along behind me...
One of these days we'll get to the track together and have a contest to see who can say the dumbest thing after consuming at least a fifth of whiskey.
In case you guys are looking for lodging, there are three resorts in Elkhart that are probably stratospherically expensive: Victorian Village, Siebken's, and the Osthoff. All are on the lake, and Siebken's has one of the most famous bars in all of racing, but they're typically pricey. I think you can get more info on any of them from the Elkhart Lake Chamber of Commerce website. The CofC can also put you in touch with some bed-and-breakfast-type lodging, also in Elkhart but more affordable. That way Johnny Mac can satisfy his urge to sleep in a room full of antiques with pink puffy pillows and frilly lace curtains.

The nearest town to Elkhart is Plymouth, only about 10 minutes from the track. The 52 Stafford and the AmericInn are two pretty reasonable hotels there:

Sheboygan is about 25 minutes away and has a range of hotels, including a Comfort Inn or two.
Wish I could come up and play.
