With a package like this, would it entice you (locals) to stay overnight in the hotel?
Things to consider:
you're paying for the room but can have as many people as you want staying in the room. If you've got 3 guys in a room divide that $80 by 3. Only one food and race coupon will be included with the room, so the others would pay separately (food package would be about $15 for buffet and breakfast).

We'll have the whole resort to ourselves which means full locker room, sauna, steam room, whirlpool, swimming pool. All this at no charge.

Wives, girlfriends, children could also come and have stuff to do while you race.

Pints of Fat Tire for $2.
There's talk about a band on Saturday night after the race.

With enough notice, would you consider spending the money and staying the night, even if you live 20 minutes away?
So, you're contemplating a Saturday race? Sort of a show up saturday, check into the hotel, unwind, race, eat, relax with other like-minded fools around the resort. Wake up Sunday, breakfast and head on out?

I like it. Price is completely reasonable when you factor in food and race fees. I can't commit right here right now (I live 20 minutes away), but I would do whatever I could to swing that. Sounds like a hell of a good time!
