I contacted IMSA and the PDF file is what they emailed me. They said the contact and event would be the same.
Oh well, I tried.

I was a volunteer for that Corral last year and it all went great. There were alot of happy IMSA and NCM people, so I would imagine that not much if anything would change.:thumbsup:

By the way, Ernie Zager, the same person who is the Florida Captain on the 2009 Caravan to the Museum was the coordinator for the St Pete Grand Prix Corvette Corral last year. He can plan things down to the letter and will do as good this year too. (side note I only am about 99% sure he's in charge this year, but I hope that he is!)

The price includes a 3 day grandstand ticket and parking in the Vette Corral on Fri & Sat Only. There is no corral on Sunday. The race that the Vettes run in is Sat, American LeMans Series. Sundays big race is for the Indy Cars.

If you go to the 12 Hours of Sebring the Corral Parking, I belive, is Thursday, Friday, Saturday (Race Day)
 
:thumbsup:Hi Rick. Is it too early to order Corvette Corral tickets? I didn't see specific info on 2008 purchasing for Corral. I hope your arm is doing better.

On the link to the St Pete GP there's a contact number, I would call them or call IMSA.
I know the corral tickets for Sebring are on sale.
