John, It was confirmed when I was in Baltimore that they will be at VIR as well-same set-up. There is a page on VIR's site that shows where all of the car corral parking will be including SRT-just over the bridge and to the right-basicly overlooking turn 6 as the cars go through the lower esses.
Great to hear that you are planning to attend. I'm trying to line up my own details-want to drive down Thursday and take in full day Fri & Sat.

The "updated" info is on the VIR site, unlike some of the prior events (like Baltimore) where registration was done through SRT by faxing a form to them, the VIR ALMS event will be done completely via online registration. The SRT Corral parking is highlighted on the map on the following page (this is where the hospitality "transformers" trailer will be parked overlooking the track as well http://virnow.com/event-info/car-corrals-during-alms/ near the bottom of the page you will find the SRT description and a link that will take you to the etix page to buy your tickets. While hospitality is for Saturday only, the parking of your SRT vehicle and access to the ALMS weekend is offerred for driver only or driver and a guest for Sat only, Fri & Sat or 4 days.
I know that for the Baltimore GP race that there were some people who looked at the pricing compared to other car corrals and wondered why SRT was higher. I have attended the BGP the past two years that SRT participated and can attest that you are getting a lot more for the additional $. The SRT trailer is amazing in it's own right, while we really appreciated the AC in Baltimore and wouldn't expect it to be as hot, it is a luxury retreat inside, a raised porch where food is served will be overlooking the track and a stairway leading to the roof of the 53' long trailer which has a tent shading you is the best seat in the house. All that and wonderful hosts Pam & Danny making sure there is excellent food (not just hot dogs under a tent that the others may offer-in my observations the Porsche & Corvette parking which is done through a national organization doesn't begin to compare). You access also includes beverages water, soda and beer which others do not. The pictures below are of the "porch area" of the trailer and the glass doors that lead inside and of John and I on the roof.
In Baltimore this year it seemed that the Viper Club members were in the minority, I enjoyed the company of other SRT vehicles, some of which drove hours from PA and everyone really enjoyed the event and also felt like there was great value in it. On Saturday Ralph was there as well as Beth and others from SRT, we even had Dario Franchitti hanging out watching the ALMS race in the trailer.
Also of note about the ALMS Fri-Sat is that the support races will be the spec Arial Atom, and of more interest to Viper fans -NARRA (formerly known as Viper Days) will have their race group competing which has some other marques but is still dominated by Vipers. Hotel options are most likely limited to South Boston, VA hotels at this point, I plan to "camp" which I've done in a tent before but will chose an RV this time for the comfort of my spouse ;-) the camping is close by the corral area which will be convenient.
Hopefully we will be blessed with wonderful Fall weather, and great racing-I hope to see many of the Viper faithful there at this wonderful track!

I attended the ALMS race at COTA a couple of weeks ago. The SRT set up is top notch and well worth the money. Much better than the Corvette people had which was a tent next door. If they come back here next year I will be there.

Have fun everyone. Sounds like a blast and very well organized by SRT.
I wish I could attend, but unfortunately have to work VIR is a fantastic track.
Hopefully, next year.
