Enjoy, take some pics and post them along with your thoughts on the race. Can’t give you any other advice as I’ve never been to the race.

Only advice is try to watch the race from different areas. The esses, spectator hill, along the straight, I always sit in turn 10 for most of the race.
Typically the corvette corral is not a great place to watch from like the porsche corral is.
Dress for any kind of weather. One year I went on Thursday and it was mid 80s, Friday it poured, Saturday high was 58 and windy.

I'm going...Corvette Coral tickets for my first time...many times of being there for the races and festivities...use to go every year and take my camper in, starting on Wednesday ….always rented a golf cart for the whole time...what a blast! From what I can gather so far, the race has been …Covidtized...(my new word for the year).They are only letting in 50% of the race's history of attendance. They are also limiting personal meet and greet of patrons and drivers...and autographs/stuff from what I can tell. I live less than 30 minutes from the track...hope it goes well! I have posters autographed dating back to 2011 on my garage walls...been there in the BMW Coral as well...don't even see this mentioned this year...Have you purchased advance tickets? The weather is forecast to be super nice...Hope they are right as they are wrong frequently here...I suggest that you purchase tickets in advance and then picking them up at "will call" rather than to be turned away at the ticket office due to capacity "covidtized" issues! Best of luck and have fun! If you would like to make contact with me call me at 7705391616...Respectfully, Ed

It is a great track, lots of places to see the race from, great corral (it was before) not sure how it will be now, my wife and I favorite spot is coming down the hill, before they go under the bridge. Turn 10. Have great time. As stated above be prepared for any kind of weather.

My son and I will be there. My only advice is to get there early on Saturday as the parking fills up and you can be quite some distance from the better vantage points. As mentioned earlier, it will be fairly cool weather Saturday night.

With only 50% capacity this year, I’m hoping it won’t be crazy!
