I'll be there Saturday. Corral parking = drive the Cobra. No corral = take daily driver. Guessing that the Corral parking will be in the dust bowl due to big demand and limited real estate.

40 years go I made the mistake of parking behind turn 9 for a Can Am race. At the end of the day, I had a 1/4 inch of dirt on my car. What a pisser.

Cobra Parking "CORRAL UPDATE":

Great news. Just got a helpful message from the folks in charge regarding coordination of the Corral this year at Laguna. I let them all know we appreciate the update, which helps folks make a more informed decision about attending this year or not, and with or without their Cobras. A very positive update is what I can pass along. No worries, the coordinator has it well under control and asked us to stay tuned. Check back here or on the first post every month as we get closer to Monterey at Laguna in August.

Here is a summary of the message received today:

- Still in the planning stages, everyone is on the same page..
- Laguna is very excited. Wants to make this the "best Reunion show ever".
- There are several entries in the Cobra race already.
- They are pleased with communications and interest between clubs, groups.
- "still working out when tickets will go on sale, and how to purchase".
- "plenty of room in the Corral", "can't foresee anyone being left out".
- "any parade laps will be a Cobra only". Saturday for sure, Sunday maybe.
- Stay Tuned. More information out as it becomes available.

... you might see an update here later on from the coordinator himself.

Thought I'd check the Norcal SAAC site tonight to see if there was any update regarding corral parking.

50th Cobra Reunion

"I do not foresee any problems with space, SCRAMP is working with us to open up more parking area as needed. The Corral will be open to all Shelby American products including replicas, as well as Ford products of the performance variety (Ford will have a display near the Corral and is supporting the mission also). Original Cobras will be displayed front and center, of course, with space for other original Shelby American products, continuations and replicas.

Sales of tickets and Corral passes will be through the Nor Cal SAAC website.* Mazda Laguna Seca will be having their website direct people to out website if they want Corral passes.* We will be opening sales soon hopefully."

I check the site regularly.

I checked in about 10 days ago and they were still working on the website so tickets could be purchased. As I recall, they were shooting for May 1st but still working out a few more details. If we don't hear something by mid May, I will check back again if something does not come through before then. Thanks for checking periodically to see if something shows up.
