I see the BMW CCA group is the only one so far that has their act together to get 100 feature parking spots together. Any other groups (Porsche) doing this? I may sell my current tix and run up with the M to be in a corral.

 

Haven't heard anything from PCA yet. I still have my paid parking ticket, too.

 

I still haven't bought tickets for this event...are they still available? I'll have my M and will probably try to get in the corral deal too.

So did everyone do 3 day or just saturday? Anyone do the VIP weekend passes?

 

Most are picking up the three day passes. Paul over on E90Post has a line on a whole BMW parking corral as well as two or three day pass options, with or without parking. I may just do that to get good parking and sell my current seats.

 

BMW CCA Corral hosted by National Capital Chapter at the Baltimore Grand Prix

Important: The National Capital Chapter will be hosting a corral for the various races (including ALMS) that is being held Labor Day weekend in Baltimore, Maryland.

Let’s support the BMW Team RLR M3’s that will be out to win again in 2011!

The BMW CCA corral will be adjacent to the ALMS paddock, with tickets that provide excellent viewing of all the races.

The ALMS race is being held in conjunction with the IZOD Indy Car Series race.

Schedule:
The 2011 Baltimore Grand Prix Festival of Speed will feature five professional car races: The IZOD Indycar Series on Sunday, the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) on Saturday, and the Firestone Indy Lights Series, the Star Mazda, and the USF2000 Series. There will also be concerts on Friday and Saturday nights.

The Club needs 100 members to purchase tickets for the corral, as soon as possible, in order to be guaranteed a preferred BMW corralspace. We need your reservation by January 24th, the Monday after the NCC annual meeting. We realize the event is months away, but the organizers are assigning corral locations now. If you plan to attend, please register now, or our Club will not be able to reserve a corral space, they will be filled by other clubs. If you plan to attend the corral, you MUST register on the http://ncc.motorsportreg.com Web site (see info below).

Four Ticket Options:
Friday, Saturday, Sunday 3-day ticket with vehicle corral admittance: $ 262.50
Friday, Saturday, Sunday 3-day ticket without a car corral parking pass: $210.00
Friday-Saturday, 2-day ticket with vehicle corral admittance: $157.50
Friday-Saturday, 2-day ticket without a car corral parking pass: $115.50

If you have already purchased a ticket, you can still be a part of the BMW Corral. No money is needed now for current ticket holders, but you do need to register for tickets through MotorsportReg. Baltimore Race officials will handle ticket exchanges.

Mike - I did just the Saturday race (with the wifey) and a parking pass.

 

Here's the track layout and where our corral will be located. Its towards the bottom left hand corner, below turn 8, in a large parking lot near Camden Yards, right next to the ALMS paddock and close to Pit Row. Seems like a prime location to me

Corral tickets are going fast and we have a small, 2 week window to sell. Sign up by Jan 24th!!!

 

Thanks for the info! I'll be speaking to my wife tonight about this and purchase/sign up within the next few days. If I brought the wife I am assuming that I would have to purchase her a ticket too minus the corral? I am thinking about Friday/Saturday but might jsut do Saturday in the long run.

Ugh it's gonna be a far walk from where my seats are to the corral area lol

 

I'm with you Chris. My seats are pretty cool where they are, top shelf on the corner. Just like I like my tequila. On the complete opposite end of the site from the corral.

 

My seats are right across from the paddock area, number 6 in the map above. I figured it would be cool seeing the cars going by at near top speed.

On another note...I still don't know how they'll have all the paving done in time.

 

^^^^

That was my thought...will all the work be done in time? I hope so! I'll be signing up soon, wifey gave me the green light

 

My seats are at the top corner of the grandstand right in front of turn 5. Should be cool to see the cars come in at full speed, heavy braking, then diving into that chicane. I'm predicting lots of passing/contact.
