Looking forward to a smoother time than last year.

Ill probably do fri and sat or just sat... Definitely not doing porch corral...they had no coffee, no lunch, and canned sodas which were all gone by 3pm! What! .... BMW corral was great I will do that if I do a corral again, otherwise opt for seats through another package or promotion...

Which is interesting - since their corral was underwritten by Porsche.

I would say it was due to the local pca chapter. If bmwcca could pull off a killer setup, I would put it on the host, rather than the sponsor. Of course, I'm talking out my but cause I have no idea how these are set up.

Both Porsche and Corvette had manufacturer's help on getting the corral setup, but not sure how much involvement the local chapters had.

Unfortunately, the BWM corral had no manufacturers help (although we tried hard) and we had to plan our own. With the turnout we had, BMWNA said they would help in 2012, so I'll see what they come to the table with.

I'm probably in for Friday and Saturday. I may try the F-car corral this year to switch it up a bit.

With Ford storming through the ALMS top seats, I could see setting up a Ford Corral.

BMW CCA corral was great Paut...very nice job, hats off to you and your team. Porsche's corral sucked. If I do a corral I will be excercising my 10 yr BMW CCA affiliation and doing that.

I remember paying for tix in December last year and didn't get anything in hand until a month prior to the event. They are posting all over on facebook, but not a peep about tix for this year. Very secretive.

I'm probably going to do hospitality seats this year, dunno I want to be in the corral areas. just go thru the promoters and hosting deals, last years VIP areas were really good in terms of food, drinks, lavatories, and view of the action, plus if it gets too hot you can go inside and cool off. Seems a lot better than fumbling over a can of soda and non existant coffee at the PCA corral

The new promoters literally just took over a few weeks ago and they are working hard to get ticket sales going ASAP. Announcement should be coming soon, so please be patient.

For those planning to be in the corral area, I know that much of the feedback given from last year was heard, and improvements are in the works.
