Default Corvette Corral question

I have been to numerous Corrals and I have to admit that I am drawing a blank. If you pay for one Corral pass that gets you parking and admittance to the Corvette Tent, does your guest also have to pay for the 3 day pass ($90) or can they be admitted to the tent with the one day pass that that paid for general admission? Planning on going to Laguna Seca.

I ordered one Corral pass and one General Admission/Paddock:

American Le Mans Monterey - 3 Day Admission
Fri 9/16, Sat 9/17, Sun 9/18
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca Section GA2
Row G1-00089 General Admission and Paddock US $60.00
Section GA2
Row G1-00090 Corvette Car Corral Pass US $90.00

but I'm sure if you have someone in your car he is OK with the one day pass. Once you are in you are in, there is no restriction where you can go (except for the obvious ;-).

Perhaps the Corrals at some of the other tracks have greater attendance and must charge, but the Road America one I attended last weekend was totally free. (as it has always been) You drove in, parked, went to the registration tent where you were given a wristband (2 per vehicle) and a small goodie bag that contained a dash plaque of the event among other things. The wristband entitled you to soda & water both days and there was food for breakfast and lunch. Corvette Central MAY have been a co-sponsor-I do not know this for sure-but in any case there was NO admission charge. Posters, Corvette Racing backpacks and other items were also for the taking.

I'm thinking that each track does the Corvette Corral a bit differently. I've been to Sebring the last few years, and they have either multi-day or single day packages, either one includes 2 general admission tix and access to the Corvette Corral parking, and a tag for your car. In the Corral at Sebring they do breakfast/coffee, and you get a ticket for lunch and unlimited soft drinks and water throughout the race. If you want to upgrade to Paddock or Pit Roof you can do that also. I'm planning on going to Road Atlanta for the Petit LeMans, and their Corral tix are a bit different, and I've heard the ones for the Baltimore race are different also. I guess check each track's website for better info.

Chevrolet took over the Corvette Corral for this past weekend at Road America, so our signage was taken down. We do support the corral at Road America, and it is unique because it is (to my knowledge) the only corral that has a permanent location. Other tracks' corrals move around based on available space. Also, there is never an admission fee for the corral at Road America.

The one at Sebring hasn't changed in as long as I have been going.

Thanks for the clarification re Corvette Central's involvement at Road America. I received a goodie bag with your info, but wasn't sure what that implied so wanted to be open with my comment on Corral sponsorship.
