Parking pass with corvette on it lets you park in corral. The ticket with corvette on it lets you get in tent. When you first get there you need to register at the corral tent to get wrist bands that allow you to come and go in tent and get refreshments and participate in the drawings and also get your goody bag. If you get there Thursday you will also need to sign up for corvette pace laps that evening. The wrist bands stay on all weekend to allow you into the corral. Have fun.

Got the RV packed and ready to go. I've not missed a race yet. My only complaint is that I own 3 corvettes, but since I'm driving an RV I'm not allowed in the coral tent.

Going to be perfect weather, but anything will beat last years weather. Just a little rain!

Is there anyone there that can give an update on the corral area after last night/this morning's rain? It was the only chance of rain all weekend, but it looked to be a good bit of it.

looks like the part that went up into GA is moving back south for round 2 for the next hour or so. Really messing up my plans....

Anyone got a schedule of events for the corral on Saturday? They usually have a bunch of stuff going on and I'd like to know in advance so I can kinda plan my Saturday this year.

So we did take the victory? Sweet. My first Lemans as well but had to leave @3 for work. Was a blast though. Definitely be there next year too.

Wow, it was everything everyone said and more. Loved the Corral, loved the friendliness of the people everywhere. And there were what seemed like thousands of golf carts but now I know why. Walking up that darned hill 5-6 times a day will wear you out! We will definitely be back next year. I only wished that I had won something in the lotteries, especially the ride in the pace car!

Great fun. If you have not been to one of the ALMS races I highly recommend it! Highlights of the day:

1. Spending time with my son.
2. Meeting a few forum members.
3. The hospitality of the Corvette staff at the Corvette Coral
4. Shade, food, drink and live SPEED TV coverage in the Corvette Tent.
5. Meeting Ron Fellows. A genuinely nice guy.
6. The PERFECT fall weather.
7. The Race!! Corvette passing the Ferrari for the win! We thought it was all over until the Ferrari ran out of gas! The Corvette passed it on the back straight to take the win! Ferrari may have won if the could have gotten that one extra mpg out of the last gallon of gas!

See y'all there next year!
