We're planning on going to the races and then driving down to visit Hannah and David in St. Petersburg. We may even see if they are able to come up to Atlanta for the weekend. H2 and D2 haven't been to an ALMS race in a long time.

While we're down in FLA we will still be looking for that million dollar beach house that's selling for $100K. Thought Schooley was supposed to find that for me.

We were told on Saturday that Cadillac will have a parking corral @ Road Atlanta during Petit Le Mans weekend. I hope to have more info to pass along in the next few days.

The Cadillac Grand Prix @ Road Atlanta will be on Friday. This is the race that both of the Cadillac CTS-Vs will be in.

I got a call today from Cadillac about the Cadillac parking corral during Petit Le Mans weekend @ Road Atlanta. The corral will be for all Cadillac owners & I should have info soon on getting tickets. I suggested they put the corral information on Road Atlanta's website to get as many owners as we can. They are looking into Cadillacs doing a couple of parade laps. It would be great to have a big group of XLRs in the corral.

More info later.

I called Road Atlanta today and they have no idea about any of the above; told me to call the local dealership. Still working my calendar to fit this in, but do I just buy the 4 day ticket and wait?

Well I guess I have to buy my 4-day tickets first thing in the morning.

I just got an email from Dana :
Quote:
I spoken with John Kraemer and we’re going to send you (5) tickets for our Cadillac corral area that we’ll have in Atlanta. We are still working on a run of show for the weekend, so we’ll send you this once it’s complete so you know of all of our activities taking place and the tickets.
WHO WANTS ONE?

I'll take one!!!

I presently have a ticket for Saturday only, so I'd be willing to let someone else have it who will be there longer than 1 day. But if there are less than 5 takers, I'd love to have one!

We will be driving David's Corvette to Road Atlanta and will be parking in their corral on Thursday and Friday. On Saturday, David and Hannah are joining us and we will be driving to the track in Hannah's Jetta so we have only one car to park that day.

We rented a golf cart, so we will definitely stop by to take a look at the Cadillac corral, but we don't need tickets to park there.

Do we all have each other's cell phones so we can meet up at the race?

~see ya'll soon

Apparently Cadillac and Audi (maybe others) self administer their corals, tickets, and activities. The track folks don't know anything and couldn't tell me who to contact.

I have also called the closest Cadillac dealer (in Gainesville, GA) and someone there is working the issue for me. He says he is trying to get info for his customers and a free ticket for himself. So far he has yet to tell me anything helpful.

I will keep trying and pass on anything I learn.

I got a return call from the GA dealer. He reports that Cadillac coral passes are apparently being sent to Cadillac dealers to go to interested customers He recommended that I contact my local dealer and try to obtain one.

Looks like I will be buying my next Cadillac from Gizmo......

Typical Cadillac marketing strategy....maybe get a new customer (doubtful ) by offering a no cost parking pass, rather than taking care of their existing customers.

Holy CRAP! I just checked my front door and fond a FedEx package from Cadillac Racing Marketing. O.K. great the parking passes are here, filnally.


BUT Wait, there's something else:

Five 2-Day Race SuperTickets (Fri/Sat), yes that's right if anyone has already paid for two-day tickets call the track and get a refund (I just did this myself a few minutes ago and they were very accommodating). I'd hate for these things to go to waste! These also give you acces to the Cadillac Hospitality tent (Food and Drinks served).


Who needs 2 day race tickets and Infield parking passes.

OBTW, they also sent me their schedule of events:
Friday
10-1030 Cadillac Paddock Tour
12-1PM Lunch
1:25 - 2:25 Pirelli World Challenge Race

Saturday
1130 - Finish Petit Lemans

Gizmo,

I'll take one (1) set of your tickets and a coral pass if any are left.
Appreciate your efforts to get these. My local Cadillac dealer came up empty handed and clueless as to who I should contact to ask.

Thanks
Steve
