I live about an hour away from Bristow. There are some decent hotel options in Shawnee which is about 45 minutes away. The towns of Chandler and Stroud are probably 30 minutes and 15 minutes respectively.
Being Old 66 there will still be old motor hotels and there will be more of them than modern Holiday Inns and Hamptons. These are tiny little towns and the crime rate is very low so I would feel my car and equipment were as safe as anywhere. Tulsa area is an option for around 40-45 minutes away but Tulsa does have an elevated crime rate. A little more than an hour away is the Oklahoma City Metro and you would probably have to drive deeper into the OKC to get hotels. It just seems a little too far so I think the small towns and old school motels within 40-45 minutes are the way to go.
@soonercruiser , Any word on getting a first day at Hallet Motorsports park? It's 35 miles North of Bristow which is closer than Willow Springs is to Spring Fling. The track day is a huge part of the tradition there. I would love to see a track day on Day 1 for all us guys that like to do left/right turns while going fast.
