A couple of things went into the PSN decision to stay in Terrell. The track is new and the small town of Crandall has not had a chance to build around these types of weekends. Crandall does have a very nice place to eat (Cotton Gin) as mentioned earlier,but I do believe they close up shop at 10:00PM.
As far as places to stay you can head East and stay in Kaufman, but it's a crooked (as in crime and the connection with law enforcement) little backwoods town, always has been, and there won't be much of anything to do after hours.
You could head West and stay in Mesquite. These days Mesquite is just an over flow of the crime and drug overrun East Dallas and Pleasant Grove that I grew up in. I personally would not feel comfortable with my truck in a motel parking lot overnight in Mesquite. Mesquite wins hands down in the after hours choices, too many to name.
The third option was to 2 lane black top North to Terrell. It's the same distance as Mesquite, just on a Farm to Market versus Interstate. Terrell is a good sized town with malls and truck stops, and an old Honky Tonk that's been around for 20 years that is now a Sport Bar and Grill. I haven't been there since the change, but it will work out great for get together. The physical size of the place is that of an indoor football field. There are as many hotels in Terrell as there are in Mesquite, less crime and the winning ticket was the $54 a night group rate that my old man swung at the Comfort Inn, Waffle House in the parking lot, along with Apple Bee's. To get the group rate if they are still available you need to call Comfort Inn, and state discount rate code "Power Stroke Nation". You must call in your reservation. (972) 524-5590 I'm not sure if there any rooms left. Big K has made a second group rate at the Holiday Inn that he posted earlier in this thread. We have approximately 32 reservations at the Comfort Inn that I have heard of. See y'all next week.
