Assuming that the world doesn't end before then, the 2012 Doughty 500 will begin on Monday, July 23rd and end on Friday, July 27th. The tour will be based out of Hayward and rooms have been secured at the palatial Comfort Suites. They're a mere eighty-nine bones a night and you can reserve yours by calling 715-634-0700.
And yes, we did explore the option of having the 500 based at one of many resorts throughout northern Wisconsin and actually taking advantage of the natural beauty and splendor that the area has to offer. But apparently the stingy streak runs pretty thick in the Doughty blood and the prices that would have to be paid--while seemingly reasonable in our view--would be too steep for some tour attendees.
So instead of a lake and drinking by the bonfire we'll once again have an indoor pool and a "party" room in the hotel. Never underestimate the high costs that are sometimes involved with low prices.
