Mopar Nat's

Ok so I took some time off work to go and see the Mopar Nationals for the first time ever. I want to stay about 30 to 40 min away from Coloumbus. Does anyone have an idea of a nice area to stay in? Who else here is going and what kind of advice would you give about seeing the show. I'm not bringing my car so I can focus on the show and maybe hunt down some parts for my wifes 1965 Valiant Wagon. Thanks Jayson
