Default ALMS Tickets for 2013
I may have one or two extras for all 4 days, if anyone is interested. I'm asking $85 per ticket.

That is a great price.
Price after 7/31/13 is $80 a day.

If you order prior to 7/31/13 it is $50 per day.

WE DON'T NEED NO AD!!

If you want to park in the Corral better get there early. Last year it was full by 12. Had to be close to 1000 Corvettes
This is a view of about 1/2 of the Corral

Try driving up to turn 5/6 Corvette Bridge to watch the race. The Corral is not the best place to watch.

Some of us have been coming to Road America the past four years - great track and always visit a least one cheese factory!
Totally agree the turn five area is the best! We usually take the shuttle from the corral to turn five.
Attached is the schedule for the Corvette Corral.

If you plan on staying to the end of the race Drive up to turn 5 from the Corvette Corral since you may not get a shuttle back and it is a long walk!!
I have been going to Elkhart since the early 70's. Served on a pit crew for Camel Light GT and Trans Am. The Corvette Corral used to be right behind the bleachers at the Start/Finish line. Today the race has grown more for spectators. Great way to spend the day.

Looks like significant road construction projects in Wisconsin along the I94, I43 US41 corridor…
