Anybody? Well, if you don't I'll have many pictures for you all. Also video and some possible interior videos of many Ferraris (at the track). I'm talking about the French Quarter Classic 5.

This year I have an advantage of knowing people, one of them just happens to be the co-founder of the event
. I have already witnessed the Ferrari 330 TR/LM which was quite a sight (also for my video camera
). (The 330 TR/LM is worth about 6 million dollars.) If I can score a ride in any Ferrari, that would be so great. A friend of mine already is ensured a ride in either a 328 or a 355 (he'll have my video camera for sure, heh)

Mardi Gras is in February on the week of fat tuesday (day before ash wednesday).
February 8th (but parades start about 2 weeks before).

Okay. I have returned from the 'track day' event. MY GOD!!!! I was in heaven!!! I never DREAMED I'd see so many Ferrari's in one place. 100+!!! ...and not just ANY Ferrari's either.
Most were pretty rare cars!!! Including: 330 TR/LM (worth= 6.5 million dollars), "Breadvan" (worth= about 12 million dollars), a P4 (1 million), 4 Enzo's, 1 F50, 6 F40's, numerous 360's (mostly Challenge Stradale's!! and Challenges), a few 355's, 308's, 328's, and finally, an F1 racer which took a few laps.
The NON-Ferrari cars there included:
Lotus Elise (left hand drive conversion)
Lamborghini Miura SV
Lamborghini Diablo SV
Lamborghini Race Murcielago
Porsche Carrera GT (!!!)
A Lola or two...
and a brand new Mustang GT (new bodystyle)
Best of all, I have a half hour of video AND 100+ pics. I will share it all as soon as I get it into the computer.
Such an exciting and crazy day.

Sounds pretty freakin' sweet. The sound of Ferrari engines make me drool. My dream car would probably have to be an F40. Or maybe the new F430, that thing is just sex on wheels. It may not have all of the performance of some of Ferrari's past machines, but it's still very respectable performance wise, and it is in my opinion, the best looking Ferrari ever. Can't wait to see your pics though.
