See if you can get into married student housing. When I was there, and married to a Coed, as a Senior in Mining We got to stay in the School Presidents' house with Doctor McBride and his wife. He always had a married Senior housesitting for him due to his frequent trips. Have your spouse contact the Alumnii Association, they have amazing contacts for housing. As for racing contact the SelfPropulsion shop in town. When I lived there later in the 1980s the owner, Portia Masterson, ran weekly USCF time trials up LookOut Mountain
