    I know its still a few months away but...I just wanted to pass this information along in case you guys were interested... I have been working with the race management to work out a group discount on tickets for the various clubs and enthusiast sites around here and think I was able to get a fairly good discount on these.

    In addition, I'm working with race officials to try to set up a few "Corrals" like we've done at other races which allow clubs to park together on-site rather than having to shuttle bus around. If you guys are interested in setting up a corral, let me know. I'm in the talking stage of setting up an Audi and BMW corral like we do when we go to Petit Le Mans, and I'm sure you guys can get one set up as well.

    The pricing I worked out with them is as follows:

    Ticket Type.....................................Regular Price............................Dubspeed Group Price

    3-Day Super Ticket............................ $129.............................................. . $105
    3-Day Reserved................................. $87............................................... ... $70
    Friday or Sat Resv ..............................$75................. ................................. $60

    There are NO ticketmaster fees to add to this, just a $2 s/h fee.

    For a description of all the tickets, please see http://www.grandprixofhouston.com

    Purchasing of tickets is handled directly through the Grand Prix of Houston office by Mark Johnson, director of Ticketing. If you wish to purchase a block of tickets, please email [email protected] with the subject line "Dubspeed Group Ticket Order", include the number of tickets, and your contact info and he'll get back to you guys.

    I am in no way affiliated with the Grand Prix of Houston in any way, shape or form. I'm just trying to get all the enthusiasts of Houston who want to come out, the best prices possible on tickets, and allow us to park at the venue as clubs rather than miles away. :)

    If you are interested in setting up a corral, please contact me @ [email protected]

    I know that the Houston FCA already has a deal for club members, including a corral, tent, and a parade lap. If interested, check with your local club.

    The event is May 11-May 13.

    Houston Chapter of FCA indeed DOES have a deal going for F corral, tixs, special event passes, food, pit passes, track parade lap, etc. I've signed up and am really looking forward to it. Give Grady Owens at Club a shout to see what the deal is now.

    Anybody else from SA going over, let me know--we can enjoy the drive together.

    This sounds great ; Champ car, FMazda and Atlantics !
    Big problem for me is that its the busy season for landscape lighting. Let me see if schedules can be juggled.

    I bought the package but can only use the friday ticket. Contact the FCA Regional director. I left him my other tickets so he might still have them.
