Will we be doing parade laps again this year? That was a blast. However, I seem to recall the rule was no passengers, and I'll have my 9-year old boy with me, so I guess I'll have to pass on the parade lap. Bummer.

time permitting we will have parade laps and your son can ride with you and any other guests, as long as yo usign a waiver. So, you can have passengers in yior car. Also, please send me a pm with your sons' shirt size, as Freedom does have youth sizes. Here's a few pics of the LRP Corral Attachment 242097 Attachment 242098 Photos by Josh Hanley |
Oh, excellent. I'll send that PM.
|
i'm in as well. first time attending such thing, but sounds really fun.
does anyone have suggestion of things to bring with me? if we do have parade lap, does it require helmet or anything? oh. and.. where should I go as I arrive on friday? Thanks! |
No helmet should be worn. No special preparation should be needed for the car.They are parade laps, it's not a competition event.
Last year the car corrals were at the start/finish line, across from the pits. Come in the main entrance and go straight, then cross the bridge. You'll see it on the right. |

Thanks!
I'll bring tons of drink for sure. by the way, I saw there are showers, are they open to the camping visitors? |
grrrr i got crap that weekend, would love to attend and its for a dang good cause (my son is autistic).. mad props to you guys etc... he would love this.
|
When the showers were first built there in the mid 80's, they were only for use of the track workers. I don't know if this policy has changed.

Showers are for the public use as well. We will have the prelim sched for our corral up by week's end. Please note that we've been asked to be Grid Marshal's for both the GS/ST race and DP/GT race. The Parade laps will take place on Saturday during the "Fan Walk" of the GS/ST Race. When gridding the GS/ST race, we will of course be wearing our Freedom T's and during the GT race, we'll be wearing Sahlen's Hot Dog Hats! |
Is there a sign-up link?

We will be celebrating Mazda winning the GT Manufacturers Championship and the ST Championship as well! |
Marlon, I will be flying from No Va to Cleveland and will drive from there.
I will be stopping by Great Lakes Brewery. Should I pick up a few cases for our favorite race teams. I seem to remember you bribing teams with GLB beverages at VIR last year. There will probably have Oktoberefest. Let me know. |

I'm planning to come up Saturday morning for the races, but this sounds like a great alternative for parking. I assume there will be no problem getting into the corral on Saturday morning?
Also, is there a schedule for when the charity dyno runs or parade lap might be? |
I'm also planning on being there Saturday only. Last year I was there Friday and Saturday, but I didn't have my (now) 9-year old son with them then. I don't think he could handle two days at the track. Even I was getting tired of the affair half way through the second day last time. I seem to remember that last year there were quite a few more Mazdas in the corral on Saturday than on Friday, so I think many people only come for that day.
