Padding is not required on this type of rollbar in most cases. Padding is needed where you or your helmet could hit the bar in an accident.
As for accomodations try the Country Inn and Suites at Knoxville West on Campbell Station Road. It is new. It is on my route to 411 so we could caravan togather to the track and it is clsoe to lots of good restaurants and shopping.
Also it is about 25 minutes from my place so it is close enough that you can head back over once the rollbar is in or the rest of the gang can come hang out at my place while we do the installl.
