All good responses, dear =B3not so powers that be.=B2 ;)
I imagine there will be some local involvement and I plan to appear on the
most watched morning news show (that gets repeated throughout the day) to
promote local involvement. I was just looking for numbers to offer the
hotel owner but I sort of have the picture.
My one concern is how densely packed the cars will be. If the can arrive
en-masse, which I could arrange by finding a local tour or something--
giving stragglers time to catch up=8BI may be able to arrange for participant=
s
to parade through the French Quarter down Royal St (not usually opened to
vehicles). This would be very scenic and a great news/photo op for
everyone. The local Ferrari club pulled it off so I don=B9t see why I/we
can=B9t either. The key here is that we may have less than a hour window to
do this.
