a) They do check room keys pretty heavily to get into the tower. Each of us had to have a key on us to get to our room. I know people like cram 3-4 people into the rooms, so if you do, expect to pay the additional person fee to get a key (or have very limited access to your room as a result).

b) The Tower at the Stardust (not the villas, they suck) seems closest to the ballroom, and is also where the majority of the rooms are.

The rooms are big and comfortable. You will have easy access to the ball room from the tower
The Villa rooms are nasty looking.

c) There is a limited amount of free guest parking outdoors (no parking structure that I can find) as well as valet. I haven't had a problem finding a spot.

For 24 hour food, I recommend the Surf Buffet at the Boardwalk, about a 25 minute walk from here or a short cab ride. They have a $9 buffet that goes all night long, only place on the strip. If you want to spend more and eat during regular hours, we usually hit the Spice Market Buffet at the Aladdin, it's about $25-30 but it's some of the best food anywhere, all in buffet form. And of course you will get a couple of Stardust buffets with your race entry.

You think they'll be able to handle TWO Boomers?
I'm still planning on attending - we're making reservations this week.

We are working on the track size this week.
We were just there Monday and Tuesday taking measurements of EVERYTHING.

From what I was told the track will be about the size of Snowbirds. It just works out that way with the size of the carpet rolls and the sheets of ply-wood. Im not 100% sure on the exact size.

If anything, I would love to see a track like the IFMAR 2004. Ok not that big but something like it.
