Is it just me or is there a severe lack of posts concerning takeover??? I thought there would be a ton of people wanting to wheel New Mexico. I cant wait to get down there, Im just sad I cant make it to the pre-run... Still in finals the whole first two weeks of May whoever goes is going to be in for an awesome time and some great wheeling!

I'm stoked! I've been waiting for this one ever since the Tahoe Takeover in '04. I'm sure there will be plenty of posting going on as it gets closer and I'm sure it will be BIG this year. I've heard a lot about Farmington and the bad ass crawlin' they have out there. Should be saweeet

NOTE: Someone gave a bad review on the pool here...not very clean they said. Some people may care, some may not.

Personally, after reading some reviews, looking at pictures, and comparing the amenities, I chose the Days Inn. I thought it was the best bang for the buck. They're all in the same area within a mile from each other and in the general vicinity of all the other recommended hotels. For what it's worth, I spend A LOT of time in hotels on business travel and I'd rather spend the extra $5-$10 per night for a decent nights sleep and some added comfort. The free wi-fi and fridge to keep my beer cold is nice too. That's my :2cents:

Hey Shawn, see you at AzRocks and then again for TakeOver. On the "doubles", you may want to verify what is being offered. These all seem to have either 1 double bed, two beds double/queen, and price differently based on single or double occupancy and size/quantity of the beds. Most of the less fancy places are with in a dollar or two of each other for the same stuff.

Sorry about that. Doubles mean double occupancy (i.e. two people). The rates I was given was based on the number of people. I didn't ask about types of beds, but usually that doesn't matter and sometimes you don't get a choice, depending on their availability. Of course there's always the jacuzzi room for $115/night that isn't based on the number of people...for those that want to get their freak on :bhump: :boobies:

See you at AZ Rocks Heatstroke! It's gonna be the shiz :dancing:
