Google, Apple maps ], , and the PCM gps have trouble locating the actual track. They might put you in the town of Palmer, which is apparently south of the Mass Turnpike (I-90) whereas the track is actually [i]north.[/i] There's a dearth of places to stay or eat decently within a few miles, too. The Copper Lantern motel is about the closest, but is a bit externally shabby, although the rooms are decent, if with a hint of cigarette smoke odor. For meals, look for Teresa's, a nice traditional Italian place that's been around for a long time and owned by a family from the old country. The confirmation that it's good is there's Amarone on the wine list. Another place near the motel that looks really nice, but as it was Monday and not open is the Salem Cross Inn; just a tavern & restaurant, though, apparently not an "inn" inn. Just down the road from the track is a Dunkin' graphical rip-off called Dippin Donuts, albeit with comparable quality. No breakfast sandwiches, however.

Oh, be sure to gas up before going to the track, as it doesn't have a fuel station. There's a gas station near Dippin that has race fuel if you want it. The donut place is at a road fork with one road leading directly to the track, so if anything, put that into your GPS or whatever to get your bearings.
