Yes. If you go to the website, you'll see an option for the Porscheplatz on the tickets page: http://www.limerock.com/store/cart.p...duct_list&c=15.

I'll be at the track all day Fri and Sat. Pics will be up here later in the week (it's been a long time since St. Pete).

Is there a Tampa Bay Rays section available?

Since I already bought my ticket, what do I need to do if I'd like to upgrade it? Can I just pay extra at the door? Thanks!

Not sure about that. You may want to call the track.

There may be limits on the number of cars in the Porscheplatz. If you wait until race day, there exists the possibility of being shut out.

Actually that is true....thousands of hours and days using the stuff makes one fairly knowledgeable about what is good pavement and what is bad, what has worked in the past and what hasn't. Of course, prior performance may not be indicative of future results, so we shall see.

Pavement Experts yes, PAVING Experts, not so much.

Bought my PorschePlatx through the website.
Says last call is 4pm July 4th.
So get it figured out before tomorrow in case they close you out.

I like not having to look around for parking.
And the events in the Tent too.
Was great hearing from Porsche Tech guys and Rob Dyson last year.

Sorry Bull, but just like driving on concrete doesn't mean someone knows spit about designing, producing, testing, and performance of the product, the same goes for bitumen based pavements. Let's see if O&G Industries, the producer of the pavement, has a clue.. Am I saying the pavement won't be flying into the grass outside of Big Bend? Nope.. I have no prediction either way..
