Hi all, is anyone going to the Indycar race at Roadamerica Sunday ?

Will be there, however a track employee says the Corral will not be for Vettes only but the person in charge of the Corral says yes it will,cars other than Vettes will be turned away.
100,000 tickets were sold.

This is the largest crowd ever for R.A. my son bought me tickets for fathers day. I called the track and they will be directing traffic to the nearest parking area as soon as you enter. I am not taking my Vet and I plan on entering the gate next to the Corvette Corral in hope that I can get down to park at turn 5/6. Next month I have organized a caravan for the ALMS (IMSA) race on Aug 7th leaving the Lake Forest Oasis at 7AM sharp. Buy your tickets asap and save 25%

Seems like a super safe place, have seen Ferrari's there.
Or do you think it will be so packed we will need to worry about door dings?

that track employee is foolish in the head.
local club members will be monitoring access to the corral closely.
i do not believe there will be any hospitality services or big tent to duck under. that means more space for parking.

Super! Not sure I would have bought a ticket if the Corral wasn't for Vettes only.

I might take the Vett and enter at gate 4 next to the Corral just in case they direct you to the nearest parking spot.

I can't imagine them not letting us go to the Corral if we enter Gate 4.

Hoping the storms miss. If it's raining I'll take my suv.

What time do you plan on leaving?

I am leaving in 30 min. I am not taking the Vet since I want to watch the race and park at turn 5/6. Will enter gate 4 by the corral and hope I can get close to 5/6. The Corral is not one of the better places to watch the race. From 5 you can walk to the pits and great view of 6/7/ the hurry downs turn 14 and the start of the main straight. Have a great time
