As a member of PCA since 1980 - albeit on and off, I was concerned yesterday at the Coronado speed festival as I pulled into the PCA-SD region club lot in my Range Rover, with a pca-sd membership and corral pass and was told I could not park there as i wasn't driving a Porsche - rather than argue the issue I moved it to the off road 4x4 area and left and enjoyed rest of the day.
I would suggest that If the club does not want non Porsche in that area they should make it clear on the pre-event info; and I, and several others whom noted who were also turned away, will park accordingly.

Re: Coronado Corrals

Sorry for the semantic confusion, but the whole idea that the organizers set up a special parking area for the Corrals is to have areas for the different enthusiast groups to show their cars. 
It is not a special parking area for PCA members, it is a Porsche Corral.
You were more than welcome at the PCA Hospitality tent.
John's address to request the Passes made that clear.
Hopefully there was a Range Rover corral for you to park in, I know there was plenty of regular parking outside the Corrals.

Dido, to Greg's comment. This is what was expected for the special parking.

Same experiance I did park my Corvette in the Vette section Sunday.
They asked me if it would be ok to park an El Camino next to my Corvette and I said sure.
But a land rover no way.
4wd will not take you everywhere.

speaking of epic Porsche Corrals...
Rennsport is expecting 800 Porsches only at the laguna Seca corral.

As my wife says, she drives the RR, I drive the LR!
A Jaguar powered Range Rover will haul any Porsche out of trouble, any time, even a Cayenne!
