Trois-Rivieres Grand Prix
Anyone gone to this? Any cheap accomodations near the track? Thoughts on accomodations?

Tros-Rivières has been in my wish list for years - sadly it will continue to be there for the foresseable future, Jay.

Don't do what I did when I went in 1984,and arrive on Saturday without any accomodation.Nearest room was in Quebec City so I ended up sleeping in the cenetary.A lovely place to visit,much nicer than the Sanair 'Superspeedway' I went to the following weekend.

Three Rivers is a small town and most of the accommodations are bespoke quite early. We camped last year and there was plenty of space; very pleasant site on the grounds of the high school, and an easy walk to the track across a field. Three Rivers also has a huge swimming pool that is open on race day and you can watch the race on the Jumbotron from a pool float. A couple of my friends did that and they recommend it. Poolside there was a big display by the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame, and the driver autograph session was there. Lucas Luhr ended up in the pool, fully dressed in his race suit and everything.

I've already found the very limited accomdations seem to be booked up nearby. I'll call the organizers though as they seem to offer some help to people finding rooms. I'll try the youth hostel too.. camping would be difficult.
