I ordered my tickets a while ago with VIP parking, what is the difference? Can it be switched to corral?
Done, So are we putting together a corral? Whats the headcount? We need to do this quick.

no clue, email the guy and let us know.

thanks
Hi Mike,

VIP parking and Corral Parking are located in similar areas-both will be in the Lakebed. The main difference between the two is that VIP parking is sold to individual fans at $20 and is an open lot, not organized by make or type of car. Corral parking, meanwhile, is a reserved area for a car club sold at $10 each. The area reserved for the car club becomes theirs for the weekend and allows for a social area for members of the club, which couldn't be done in the regular VIP parking area. In terms of location though, they will be very similar for this event.

1. Fred 2010 GT3RS (Sat/Sunday)
2. Mike 07 997TT (Fri-Sun)
No mention of it.

It is only $10 per car with a minimum of 10 cars, that is a no brainer even if 5 of us show up.

I'd join Fred, but I've already purchased the VIP parking as well. Mike, did they mention in their email to you that you can get a refund/or switch to corral parking?
Received my tickets yesterday with vip parking that will need to change to corral. Will there be a Patron courtesy tent?...??

1. Fred - GT3RS (Sat and Sunday) Saturday parade lap
2. Kelvin - Cayman S (Sat) Saturday parade lap, VIP changed to corral
3.BG -porsche(sat and sun) everything
4. Ed - E55 (sat)
5. Toby - BMW - Saturday, everything.
6. Mike - 997TT (Sat-Sun) Saturday parade lap, VIP changed to corral
1: Area 5 sounds like a no brainer, but the grassy areas will have more action and foot traffic.

What do the people with VIP parking passes need to do, to transfer to corral?

Are you going to set up a caravan?
Weather is not looking so good this weekend
I'll bring plenty of disposable ear plugs incase you are wimp like me... Hit me up Saturday morning if you need a pair.
