Muncie FERR hotels

[Rory428]

I am looking at attending the FE Race at Muncie dragstrip in April, just wondering what the hotel/motel situation in the area is. Is there an "official" hotel, like  the Quality Inn in Selinsgrove PA is for the Beaver Springs event. Any recommendations, or places to avoid? How far are the hotels from the track? I have been to Beaver Springs 3 times, looking to give the Muncie event a look.

Track is about 10 miles northeast of Muncie. We stayed near Ball State University, lots off motels/restaurants  lots off traffic but once out of that area fast drive to track. Long drive for you but hope to see you there.  All those 8 second FE, s and Cammers, neat event.

 Might be a bit outside your scope of interests, but the Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum, just outside of Auburn, IN (straight up from Ft. Wayne) is a pretty cool place to visit. Lots of cool early flathead race pieces that are really unique to the early days of hotrodding. Stuff like dual plug heads with swirl inducing chambers....which people think were invented just yesterday. They also have one of the original all stainless Fords (a '36) that they produced. Also some really neat all original low mile cars. One, a '32 5 window, is one of the coolest all original cars I've seen.

I'm hoping to make the '26 Muncie meet again this year, but it's not looking good at this time. Made it to the 3rd round last year, just short of the money, but had a blast. Hopefully it'll be warmer this year.
