Mark, I do the same, 750-850 miles in a day and sleep in my truck at rest areas. The only hotels are at the events which helps cover the big costs of these trips for me.
I'll be there Tuesday and leaving Sunday also.

I was planning to leave Az Saturday morning. I used to drive 750-800 miles a day, but that doesn't sound like much fun any more, nor does sleeping in my truck, especially with all the crazies armed to the hilt these days. I know of several murders at rest areas in Arizona, and I'm sure it's just as bad everywhere else along the Interstates. I'm planning on 500 miles a day, and anyone who thinks they'll be able to steal my car or trailer from a motel will be sorely disappointed.
I travel 80 mph or more in my car, but towing I like to keep it under 70 mph. Edited by CamJam - Jun/01/2016 at 3:27pm |

No, I just have high security chain that bolt cutters won't touch, I chain the car to the trailer, the trailer to the tow vehicle and I disable the tow vehicle so it won't run. Unless they have an angle grinder (which makes lots of noise) they won't get anywhere.

Problem is that Hydraulic Boltcutters got cheap... These things will chew throught the chain like a hotknife throught butter.. I will be there probably from Monday to Monday or so. Probably fly in to O´Hare and not doing a Roadtrip from Boston again. |

Even hydrauic bolt cutters won't cut it. They'll need a torch or a cutting wheel, which will be very obvious in a motel parking lot at 3 a.m. https://www.1st-chainsupply.com/chain/security_maxx/FAQ.htm Actually, my first choice was a brand called Pewag, which is made in Switzerland, but the U.S. importer is out of stock right now.

It's unlikely that all of the area hotels are all ready booked up. Someone could just be pulling your leg... The Best Western Reservation Line 800-637-5958 (including Executive Inn and Harbor Side Locations) won't even take reservations over a year in advance. May need to call back in late July. Bruce |

I made my reservation at the Executive Inn on Saturday. I first called the 800 number, and they couldn't go that far ahead. Then I called the hotel direct, 262-857-7699, and I got the room... although I'm still waiting for my email confirmation.
