I will be there the whole weekend. My friend and I have tracking our cars at VIR and CMP for years and are planning to go the corvette route for our next cars. Would be nice to meet up with some of you to learn more before we purchase. We can only offer free cold beer for the education....

I am planning on going and participating in the Corvette corral. Any advice/tips for a first timer who has never been to VIR or participated in a corral? Coolers with outside adult beverages allowed?

Chevy will have a large exhibit with a cutaway Corvette, C7s and free t-shirts independent of the corral. The corral gets you closer-in parking and some "trash and trinkets" as Doug Fehan calls it.
They will have trams shuttling people around so you can visit the South Paddock and view South Bend, Oak Tree, and the back stretch. But you will do lots of walking to see everything so wear good walking shoes. If you walk through the North Paddock to the top of the hill at the False Grid you can see the cars from Roller Coaster through NASCAR Bend.
Depending on where you watch you might want ear protection too.
