National Capital Chapter BMW CCA
2013 Baltimore Grand Prix / ALMS Corral
The National Capital Chapter BMW Car Club of America (NCC BMW CCA) will once again host the BMW NCC Corral for the American LeMans Series (ALMS) / IZOD Indycar Series races being held Labor Day weekend in Baltimore, Maryland.
We're back - and ready to see some great racing over the Labor Day weekend in Baltimore! The NCC Board and BGP volunteer team are committed to have an event even better than last year as we welcome all BMW CCA members to the NCC hospitality corral. We hope you will join us, along with your family and friends, as we support the new Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing Z4s that will be out to win in 2013!
Here are the ground rules for this event.
1. Registration closes on Friday, August 1st at Midnight or when our limited ticket allotment is sold out.
2. We have several race ticket / corral / parking options so you can choose just the access you need for the weekend. We believe these race weekend options are an EXCELLENT VALUE for our members.
3. If you already have your BGP race tickets, we hope you will still come and join us in the NCC Corral and park your BMW or invited exotic car on our corral parking lot.
4. Sorry, there will be no ticket exchanges for attendees that already have tickets this year. But we hope you will still 'park and play' with us in the NCC Car Corral throughout the weekend.
5. The BMW National Capital Chapter Corral will be adjacent to and have access to the ALMS paddock.
6. Access to the Indy & Indy Lights paddocks, located inside the Convention Center, requires a separate paddock pass if you purchase a General Admission ticket. If you are interested, you may purchase that pass through the BGP website at: http://raceonbaltimore.com/tickets-and-schedule .
7. NCC Grandstand tickets include reserved seating in Grandstands 9 and 10 outside the track with sightlines of the long straighaway and turns 10, 11 & 12. Our Grandstand seats are across from the Jumbotron with a live video feed of the race.
8. General Admission tickets provide various viewing areas along the fenced area between turns 9 & 10, but have no view of the Jumbotron.
9. The NCC Corral will have morning coffee and lunch served on Friday, Saturday & Sunday, water, soft drinks & light snacks available on all three days throughout the race weekend and exclusive activities only available to BMW Club members and their guests.
10. Registration is open to all BMW CCA members, including Associate members. Members can bring non-members with them, but registration and payments must be done by a BMW CCA member. If you are not a member and want to spend the weekend with us at the BGP, becoming a member is easy. Simply call the BMW CCA National Headquarters at: 1-800-878-9292 and sign up over the phone.
