I do not have a schedule for the corral. They usually hand them out when you first sign in at the tent. Don't think they publish one before that. It is hard enough to get any schedule out of the people who run the Sebring track. I try to sign in at the tent as early as possible on Wed. morning because you are supposed to sign up for the Thursday evening drive on the track. They say only a certain number are allowed to participate but it seems that every Corvette that is there gets to go out as long as you have signed up and have the right wrist band. Maybe it's just that those who have signed up are the only ones there when the track event takes place.

Seems to be at least 2 threads going on this subject. Here is a map of the Sebring track for those who are unfamiliar. Corvette Corral is outside Turn 17 just opposite the "FUEL" sign:

Hi, Thinking of doing the corvette corral for first time, I saw where Cheverolet has a hospitality tent, do they provide lunch and dinner? Drinks, beer , etc ? Thank you for any info. Dan

First, the important stuff. They have no beer or alcohol of any kind. They do have bottled water and soda and juices on ice throughout the day. There is one lunch usually on Friday I believe. Other days you are on your own. There are some food vendors in the paddock area. You do need to sign up for the Corvette Corral to be allowed to enter the hospitality tent. They also have talks by various people throughout the weekend and these are in the tent also. Tadge Juechter, Michelin Tire, and some Corvette drivers usually have sessions. Don't forget the Thursday evening (6:30 or so) drive on the track for Corvettes that have signed up for that in the hospitality tent.

No, there is a lunch on race day, Saturday. Coffee most of the day with cookies in the morning and chips in the afternoons. Also they raffle stuff off on most days and there is also an auction (Friday or Saturday morning - I forget) of stuff from the race team...signed hats, wrecked C7R body parts, C7R rotors, wheel nuts, etc. Worth it for relatively safe parking. Lot of people wonder through the corral to see the cars and they have always seemed respectful of the cars. I have made a kid or two smile when they want their dad to get a pic of them beside the car and instead suggest they try out the driver's seat
