Hey APBA,got on the phone sat.to make reservations for st. pete at the Vinoy who is the host hotel and got a surprise,ALL BOOKED. Now dont you think that having the host hotel with no rooms available before we even get our entry forms is kind of dumb?? TEAM VIXEN P5-16

We just booked rooms at the Hilton and they only had a few left. $160/night.

A friend who is involved in organizing the St. Pete race said to try the Vinoy Bed and Breakfast and the Colonial downtown.

Thanks Eagle.the best the vinoy could do was book us into a fairfield 10 miles away at $59. a night.That didnt sound good but sure can cancell if we get somthing better an closer. MEL

I booked into the Vinoy just yesterday. $219 for a deluxe room ...

They have rooms, just their BLOCK of APBA rooms is sold. These weren't such a hot deal anyway.

Call 'em up.
