Motel 6 in Benbrook is a good hotel. It's within driving distance and has a starbucks/wafflehouse right next door. Most of the restaurant options are in Benbrook area off Bryant Irvan Dr at I20.

Hampton Inn is a welcome spot for HHonors members. I use points when staying there and the bed's are nice!! The drive back to the track is about 20minutes depending on traffic conditions (20mins slow/ 15mins fast). Hampton has a nice breakfast, hot and cold options. You won't need to stop for coffee, unless you want a Starbucks. You can't beat the bed's here, they are better than Motel 6 (IMHO). http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/hotels/index.jhtml?ctyhocn=FTWRRHX

Here's a lap of 1:18.04 in the wet This is the fastest lap (timed from video)from an afternoon session before I ran into traffic again (in Dec) on the 1.3 course (Apex Driving Academy). You can see a dry line forming on the track but you can also see standing water still and some puddles, so it is still a little slick out for this run, and still drizzling. I got faster through the day of course and my fastest runs from the last session of the day are not on video. Oh well though.

Car: 2006 STi w/: JDM Pink springs, RCE camber plates, Whiteline Sways, 245/40/17 Advan Neova AD07 tires, Access Port stage 1

This is the fastest lap (1.12) I have recorded from early in the day on March 9, 2008. I'm pretty sure I was running faster toward the end of the day... but alas, I ran out of card space on my little camera and don't have the evidence. This was an Apex Driving Academy Intermediate and Advanced day running the Motosport Ranch Cresson 1.3 mile track in counter clockwise direction. Car: 2006 Subaru STi w/: JDM Pink springs, Whiteline 27F/24R sways, kartboy endlinks, RCE lowering Camber plates, 245/40/17 Advan Neova AD07 tires (38psiF/36psiR COLD pressures), ATE Super blue brake fluid, SS lines, and Carbotech Panther Plus brake pads, alignment of -1.7 front and rear, and Cobb Access Port stage 1
