biketoberfest/nightlife/speedway???
Wondering what the night life is like around the speedway area during biketoberfest?
Have stayed down by the beach area near main street but would like a change. I don't drink and ride and I like to have some cold ones at night so any info is appreciated or any other options would be helpful also.
Thanks

There are the chains like Hooters and such, but that is about it right in the speedway area. If you are staying in the speedway, there really isn't anything other than race concessions when the races are on. And, the walk to get out of the speedway infield to grab a drink is a long one.

Hmmmm.... No real nightlife down at the speedway.. Once the day festivities are done, it pretty much dies around that area. Have you gone toward the Iron Horse close to Destination Daytona? That is where the night life is at. To me though, you can't beat Main St. Other spots are the Cabbage Patch, Oyster Pub and Razzles. The latter two are local spots that aren't geared toward bikers.

Hate to high jack my own thread but any recommendations as to a cheaper/ decent hotel near Main st that anyone could recommend?

There are tons of hotels off of I-95 in Daytona and Ormond. The trick is booking early... Like 6-8 months... honestly, I never even bother getting a hotel close to any of the action. Mainly because I always forget to get them in advance. I always make it a last minute decision to go down. But also, the rates are much better. I usually stay on the outskirts of Daytona and can score $59/night at the holiday inn with continental breakfast. Also keeps me honest - forces me to stop drinking at a certain time in order to be able to ride back to the hotel.

Look for the small old motels on A1A both north and south of Main. They are your best bet to get a reasonably priced motel within walking distance of Main.
Your other choice is to grab a cab to main. Safe, easy, no DWI...

Right on the beach, 1 mile south of Main Street, The Sea Dip treated us ok @$89/night, walking distance to the event.
Our bikes were parked in the interior parking area right outside our rooms.
They also provided a bike wash area with old towels to wipe the bike.
