I booked a two day stay at a hotel for some friends that now can\'t make it.  If anyone wants the reservation let me know or else I will cancel it tonight.
Howard johnson in Queens Village 100/night.  It\'s about a 20 minute walk to the track or 5 minute car ride if you go early and avoid the traffic.  Also walking ditance to the LIRR and lots of buses.  You can PM me to avoid clogging the board.
