This ^ seems to be a direct ripoff of this:

it's much closer to the blue Tom O'Gorman ran on the front bumper of his TCA car, which is the color of his trademark sunglasses. 

This is also a flat color, no other flakes like nitrous blue on the RS had.

good to know. i was under the impression ticket booth price was $15. 

I took my dad today. Got there when it opened. Mostly old guys who want to stand around the luxury SUVs and shoot the poop, kinda like McDonald's on an early weekday morning. My 74 year old dad was in heaven. He's been many times and loves to talk with everyone.  We had coupons from my M.I.L for $5 off. Loved the new Vette, they raise and lower the convertible top at the top of every hour. I too like the Type R, and I also don't fit in a Supra. For a second year, that I'm aware of, no BMW, Mini, Mercedes cars. I really like the Stinger. That's all I can think of off the top of my head right now.

It's still a riot.  Old school ticket booths with piles of cash inside.   True Chicago 

Used to go just about every year.  Then I bought my FR-S,  brand new. Kind of lost all interest...because I got my car.
