Do you know if there is a limited number of corral spots available and is there a cut off date to get the tickets?

Edit: Ok so I just looked on the lime rock site. I think I get it. Please forgive me if its a dumb question but I've never been part of the car corral before. Ive only just gone up for the big race on Sunday in the past years. If I come up Saturday to be part of the car corral and parade lap, does my car have to stay parked in the infield for the whole weekend? Or can I drive home Saturday night and back up again Sunday morning to re-enter the parking corral?

You are free to come and go as you please and I am sure you know that there is no Sunday racing at LRP. All of the racing takes place on Saturday!!!

Yeah now that you mention it, it must have been Saturday. Weird, for some reason I had Sunday in my head. Ive only been a few times. For ALMS and Rolex races.

Do you know about what time the parade laps will be taking place? I cant get up to the track till about 1 pm Saturday, But am considering taking off work that day to get there earlier.

Just ordered my tickets for admission and car corral. So excited! In regards to parade laps, Do I need to bring my helmet? And if so will a normal motorcycle helmet work or does it need to be SA rated?

And also i read somewhere on here I think for Leguna Seka Parade laps were an extra $50. Is that the case for Lime Rock as well?

We're heading down as well for the weekend. Will be our second event this year as we also made it down to Daytona, but we've managed to convince some friends to come this time.
Our passes are due to arrive on Wednesday (Thanks again for the passes SpeedSource!). Hopefully not cutting it too close on the 14+ hour drive.

Hope to see some other RX-8 club folks there, but, due to some logistical concerns, we have to bring our Subaru and leave all the Mazda's home, so won't be parking or parade lapping with you. (Unless you will accept a black sheep that, if you squint, kinda-sorta looks like a Mazda3...)

If you own a Mazda we'll let you park the Subi in the rear of the Corral. Also, we will have a schedule up soon, as we have a number of events going on. As far as the parade laps, you do not need a helmet, but we do have a drivers meeting and we do have srtrict rules when it comes to them. I will post up the schedule of events later today.

Parade laps are free, no helmet needed, we will hold a drivers meeting to go over rules, etc.
