As best I can recall the Corral officially opened at 1 PM Thurs. and when you registered you signed up for the Parade Laps. Don't think they reached the 100 car max last year.
Maybe this year I will remember to put my video camera on record!!!!

I'll be driving in on Thursday, so will miss the parade lap. I'll be in the corral Friday and Saturday. This will be my first time. Looking forward to it.

We'll be there! We went for the first time last year and had a blast. We'll be in the Corvette Corral. Can't believe that nobody else in NC is coming that I know of! Working out every day now to get ready to walk up that huge hill! Does that hill have a name? Cause it's a killer after walking up and down it several times each day!

I drove down and picked mine up Wed. and lady I talked to said they were going fast but my ticket # is 0725.. Park was # 0711...
Could that be all they have sold to date???
They may just have a bank of tickets for over the counter sales..
She also said they have added some additional parking space in the
"Family Area" over by Turn 2,3 & 4.

Entry list is 53 cars,,,gonna be crowded!!!!!
