5th year in a row, I'll be there in the Corvette Corral, unfortunately not in my own Vette, but courtesy of Hertz I'd sure like to be there for that Track Day, but it's a bit of a drive, and we just passed the 110" mark for snow this season, so the Vette will remain in hibernation for at least 3 more months yet. Winter sucks!

I drove the car from NJ to Florida last month and flew back after staying for two weeks. It's resting with the battery tender until I return in March.

I'll be in the Corvette Corral for the fourth consecutive year and I'm counting the days until then.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Just as you drive in at the main entrance. It is on the right.

Just inside the main gate, to the right. Great location, right at the end of the back straight leading on to the pit straight, there are stands and a large hospitality tent. Get there early for parade lap. Last year there were about 200 Vettes present.

I'll be there, wish it was in my own rather than a Hertz car, but my GS will still be in deep hibernation then. I'm kinda thinking of making the flight down for the Rolex 24 at Daytona too, if I can work it out.

Make sure that you purchase the Corvette Corral tickets or you won't be allowed in.

I'll be there! There's a rollcall thread in the SE section for all of the attending/Corral folks.

I was sitting at one of the benches just inside when "pit-gate" happened last year.

www.sebringraceway.com, click on "purchase tickets" then scrool down to "car corrals". Don't wait too long, I believe the discount goes away soon, then the prices go up. Great race see you there.

Are the corvette corral tickets more expensive? Besides parking next to your fellow corvette brothers, what other perks are their if any?

Saturday only is I believe $225 for 2 people. There's a big Hospitality tent with AM breakfast, lunch and beverages all day, with a couple wide-screen TV's inside. The Vette head honchos (Tadge Jeucter, Harlan Charles, etc. as well as the Drivers of both cars, Crews, Doug Fehan and Ron Fellows usually drop in too. There's a good size grandstant right there, and the Corral is located right at the bridge at the end of the back straight leading onto pit straight, so the viewing is good. Good spot to hang out for 12 hours and watch some really good racing.

Is the food and beverages included with the ticket, and is it all you can eat/drink style? Do they serve alcohol? Thanks for the info, sounds like a good time.

I wouldn't count on it this year. The NCM is no longer hosting the tent.
