Hotels are listed on the flyer, which I think was linked on the first page of this thread.
Also they have a thread under the "racing" section... here's the details from the first page of it...

Trust me, I'll all for 6s set ups, I was on the 6s bandwagon for a few years too before 1/8th electric became a legitimate class (2007-2008ish). I really don't want to start a 4s vs 6s debate, However, as time has gone by, I've learned you can build a light weight and efficient 4s set up within the current rules which can run 10 minute mains reliably regardless of the track size. 4s shorty packs are the future of 1/8th E-buggy, a properly set up 4s car should be using 4000mah or less within a 10 minute run. Logging around those heavy 4s 5000-6500mah standard brick packs are 100-300 grams of extra sprung weight (more heat and crappier handling cars).
Anyways, sorry for the thread derail. Let's get back on topic!
I'm happy this race is on the east coast the last 3 of 4 1/8 E races were in California. I think it's time for us east coast/midwest/southern guys to show the RC industry we can pull large talented crowds too!

You also should rethink what you call the future.. a 2700mAH 6s lipo would be lighter than the 4s shorty and provide a better voltage curve and keep the entire system under less stress.Just saying

Less than two weeks to get your registration done. We are at 127 entries. Lets get them rolling in. I know there are more out there. In my regional series I have at least 77 e-buggies who have attended the first three races. Lets show the rest of the nation where the masses are heading with the future competition.
