Default Corvette Corral parking + parade laps at Grand Am of the Americas

I'm afraid they haven't done a great job of advertising online, so I offered to post this here.



If you want in, even if you already paid for tickets and parking, contact A. J. Rizzo at the Circuit of the Americas ticket office:
Office phone: (512) 536-1453
Cell phone: (214) 458-3565
Email: Anthony.rizzo@circuitoftheamericas.com



Here are the seating choices:
Turn 1 (block of seats) = $59 each
Parking is $30 – Lot P
Or
Paddock Club = $550 (all food/drink included for 2 day race)

Dang! This was one of my suggestions to my seat rep BEFORE they sent out the feedback survey after the race. We are definitely going to contact COTA for this.

It sounds like it just came together last week. I had already purchased tickets and parking. I'm keeping my seats where they are in turn 1 but they switched my parking pass over to the corral for me.

Where are your seats? They said they're putting the corral group in T1 Sec. 6 rows 72-76 (I think). The ones I already bought are T1 Sec. 6 row 96.

We're in T15, section 15, row 18. I think I'd rather stay in T15........the action in that section of the track is amazing. We'd REALLY like to take the Z06 out on the track and we'd only take it to the track if we can park in a paved lot. Otherwise it's either Kneel's truck or my Mazda3.

I don't know if lot P will be paved or not. It's the lot behind the turn 1 entrance where the helicopters were coming in. I think it's grass but if you call or email A. J. he would know for sure.

We'll be in T-15, section 9, Row 20. Currently have a parking pass in Lot F. Just emailed Anthony about the corral details.

Unfortunately, AJ isn't sure what the surface is. He "assumed" it would be ok for our low cars, but my guess is he hasn't actually seen it. I'm going to go ahead and have him move my parking there, but we'll keep out seats in T15.

Parade laps are on Saturday.
AJ told me that P was grassy......we're doing the same ...moving from F to P.
We're staying at the Embassy Suites at 35 @ 290. Relatively easy in and out and not as jacked up prices as closer to the track.

Just ordered my Turn 15 and Corral Pass from AJ. You got to go through him to get the correct Corvette Corral package. He was pushing Turn 1 tickets, but I already have Main Grand Stand seats from a buddy, so I opted for Turn 15 tickets to have another viewing option.

Odds are not near as fast as you would like to go.
