I think we ate at Giuseppe's a few years ago (I think it's sort of a "biker" place if I recall).
We ate at a nice place south of Holiday Inn (on opposite side) a few weeks ago, but I forget the name.
The Lark is still there and another small, similar motel.
Some of our EMRA folks have used the Lark, but it looks a bit scary to me. I'd rather sleep in the minivan.
The Comfort Inn (in Mars) is the official VRG hotel for this event. Very nice, but 16 miles away from the track (Holiday Inn is just 2 miles from track).
By the way, one of our EMRA folks is a former local and here is part of his local list (for food places).
Kretchmar's in Beaver, PA
Oram's Donuts, Beaver Falls, PA.
Deangelis Donuts (if still open).
Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe. Vanport, PA, off Route 60, also does breakfast.
Hank's Frozen Custard. one of two local cruise-ins.
Eat 'N Park. well-established regional chain.
Vocelli's Pizza
Jerry's Curb Service. "cruise-in" type eatery with servers on skates (
