The area is as soon as you pull into the lot on the left. There's an ariel view somewhere with it circled. If I was at home I'd find it lol

DPancoast · 04-22-2011, 07:03 PM

It's only the grassy area that's the VIP?

**TROLL** · 04-23-2011, 11:05 AM

The grass section in the top left corner is the designated VIP Reserved parking lot, and to be honest we selected this area because it will be much easier to control the cars going in and out because there is only one entrance/exit.
The entrance/exit to this area is via a ramp right next to the main entrance/exit to that parking lot.

If we have an overwhelming number of VIP pre-pays we will expand this section into the paved area as necessary. We will try to offer a small number of VIP parking spots at the day of the show but I would definitely not count on that because once they're gone, they're gone!

I'm slightly nervous about this ramp. How "low profile" is it? And as far as the grass, are you just putting the first xx number of people that prepaid on the grass?

twastheglow · 04-23-2011, 11:18 AM

And how many people have already prepaid?

**TROLL** · 04-23-2011, 11:33 AM

The ramp is the most tame shallow ramp I have ever seen, its probably a 4-6" rise over the course of 6' of horizontal distance... less steep than even a very tame driveway ramp. The grass is also nice and flat so no issues there either. I watched some very very low cars get up last year without any issues so we're good.

We have had about 20 cars sign up yesterday and will leave the pre-pay open until the night before the meet.

**TROLL** · 04-23-2011, 11:39 AM

Mike, I found some photos from last year of the low cars that got up the ramp without issue.
I think this is pretty solid proof that there shouldn't be an issue

.
I personally (nervously) watched the 350Z pull in and he was fine, no scraping.

So only after a couple days 1/3 of the spaces are already taken? Damn! lol And thanks for the info. Those are probably questions I should have asked before making my donation. haha Oh well. That sounds good to me though.
