Long Beach Grand Prix is coming up April 16-18th this year. It's going to be GREAT. 35 cars racing in the ALMS race, with 12 of them being in the same class as the Corvette. For those of you who dont know, Corvette races in the same class with BMW's, a Ford GT, Porsches, Ferrari F430's and a Jaguar. I've gone the past two years and it is awesome

Here are some pics from last year.






This year I am going with 3 friends. Unfortunately 2 others bailed, and I have 2 extra 3-day tickets I need to unload, PM me and I will give you more info if you are interested.


So who else is going to long beach? Who are you rooting for?

I've been going for a few years and have always had seats at the hair pin. I may just go Sat for the ALMS and Cheap Trick concert & celebrity race, I don't have tickets now, but I was thinking of just getting Gen Admission for SAT. Lemme know if you want to dump Fri/Sat tickets only.

We'll be leaving Phoenix Thursday evening and heading to Long Beach. Have Corvette corral parking passes for Friday and Saturday. This will be our first Long Beach Grand Prix. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Yes it did. Boris Said was driving. He had a little trouble getting out, it took a long time.

I was in Grandstand 16 last year. It is probably the worst on the entire track. Not much to see there. Going to LV NHRA instead this year. Planning on Laguna Seca in May for ALMS.

My son and I are going Sat. What is the Corvette Coral parking and how do you get to it? Is a General Admission ticket good enough or are reserved seats the way to go? Thanks.

I will be there Fri and Sat. See you all there.

Unfortunately the corral is sold out. We buy the general admission tickets and walk around the whole race. There are tons of spots to view from.

I picked up my tickets today and they had parking in the red area (on the map) only. I grabbed a ticket for that.

The Corvette Corral saved my life last year in the 100 degree weather. It was so hot, it was nice to hide in the shade with ice cold water and some hot Corvettes. I don't think it will be as hot this year so Tecate here i come.

I heard its going to be in the 60's this weekend so bring a jacket. I remember last year was hot.

I went last year. Was a great time, enjoyed it tremendously.
I'm going to go on Friday.

Last year there were vouchers in the papers good toward a free Friday ticket. Have any of you guys seen any ticket vouchers in any of the newspapers?

Here's one of the cuties from last year
