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?
I have been emailing with Ashley VanDyke who is organizing the event and here is what she wrote to me.

" Your friends that bought VIP are good to go and can park where they like. "

;)

Got you, so but admission for now but thats it. I may come thru and park with you guys in the corral!
For those who already got VIP tickets, please read!

Hi Fred,

Thanks for taking the lead and organizing this!

In regards to the folks that already purchased tickets- For car corrals each participant needs to have both an admission ticket and car corral parking pass. The admission tickets for sale on the car corral ticket order form are the same as those sold through the ticket office. So if you have anyone who has already purchased admission tickets from the ticket office, there is no problem as the tickets are the same. The thing that is different is the car corral parking passes, and these can only be ordered through a car club. If you do have anyone that already purchased a VIP parking pass from the ticket office, let me know, and we can exchange the VIP parking with a car corral pass and refund them the difference.

For those still needing to purchase, the car corral pass is good for all three days.

The minimum bulk order is just ten car corral passes, but let me know if that is going to be a problem. We can ship this bulk order to you if you'd like to privately distribute the passes, or we can place them directly under differently names at Will Call.

Finally, on the parade lap, I'm really glad you guys are going to have a chance to participate in that! The lap will happen around noon and we need about an hour to get drivers and passengers to sign a waiver and get a wristband. So we would just need anyone that wanted to take part in the parade lap to be here before 11am on Saturday.

Thanks again. Feel free to give me a call if you have any questions on any of this.
