As some of you might have read, I have to bring Matthew up to Boston for the next round of the Red Bull Driver Search the first week of August. Obviously, this wasn't in my budget. I've been checking on places to stay near the Boston F1 Outdoor track near East Bridgewater. Damn hotels up in that area are EXPENSIVE, somewhere between $130-150 a night.

Is there anyone on this board that might live fairly close to there that might have a room for Matthew and I to lay our heads for 3-4 nights??? I feel like a bum asking but it's really going to put a crimp in the budget (credit card) that I really can't afford to make right now. Of course, I can't afford to not let him go for this chance of a lifetime either. Either way I'm heading up there even if I have to bite the bullet but I just thought I'd ask anyway.

OR....

If you know of a reasonable hotel fairly close to there, that would help too. Anything to save me a little money would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

All the guys in bold are either national champions and/or Evolution instructors. Ryan is a two time finalist in the Mazda Rev It Up. There are others in that group that have placed VERY high at the nationals. Michael Plumer was the National Solo Rookie of the Year a few years back, Ben Thatcher has come close, Al Aberson, Steve Waters, Duane Dunham and Jay Paron, all EXCELLENT drivers have ended up in or near the trophies at the Nationals.

Unbelievable...
