Default Grand Am Races at Circuit of the America's- Nissan Corral

you guys have any interest in attending the grand am races at circuit of the america's? ive been talking to cota after i couldnt find a club to host it, and its apparently not to late. we have almost 10 interested just in our tiny club in houston. here is an idea of what they are offering to the clubs

Want trackside parking, great seats, meet and greet with team drivers, access to pit road, and YOUR car in parade laps on the track at the March 1 & 2 Grand Am race at the Circuit of the Americas?
Yes?! Read on.
Circuit of the Americas is offering an incredible package to BMW CCA.
- ON TRACK PARADE LAPS in your car
- Special seating in Turn 15
- Private Hospitality Tent
- Trackside Car Corral Parking in parking lot B
- Fanwalk on Pit Road
- Access to Paddock and Garages
- Private Driver / Team Appearances BMW sponsored Team members from Chip Ganasi, Turner, and other BMW teams

i think we could get a nice group going and have exclusive parking with all either z's and gtr's or all nissans. let me know ive been emailing the guy and i think we can have a nice showing of z's! cost is $59 a ticket and parking in the corral is $30. pm me if ur interested

Dang, this sounds awesome !

Chrispy, there is a small group of about 4-5 peeps from this DFW area that will be attending it.....I myself can't commit until a few weeks out.

I'm sure you'll hear from them.

As of right now there are six of us going. This, however, is news to us. I believe I can speak for the six of us by saying that we are definitely interested. The big question is what would we do with our current tickets?

There are six in our group, but not all of us have facebook accounts. I've joined on the page, but add five on top of the number for the rest of my group.

ok, its go time. if ur even thinking about going now is the the time to buy tickets! parade laps will be limited.
if u have tickets , make the decision to either stay where u have tickets or move to turn 15 with the group. if u already have parking talk to aj and he can get u transferred to the corral parking. parade laps depend on the level of participation of our group and will be done on a first come first serve basis. so dont delay in getting signed up!
Grand Am , here we come!

We technically still have two extra tickets that haven't been sold off. Let us know as soon as you know.
