    How is the spectator seating going to be set up? Any decent vantage points? I was out at the park about a month ago and didn't notice any grandstands or seating berms...it all looked very flat. About the only elevated position I could see was the main building at the end of the track. Could be that I just missed it though, I was mostly down by the karts and race shop.

    All spectators will be able to be in the balcony of the main building which has a view of the entire track.

    We just received our 31st Ferrari Challenge registration for the race, which wills me it one of the largest Ferrari challenge grids in history North America.

    Dear John,
    I've been an FChat member since 2005 and moved from Dallas to New Orleans in 2008. I will plan on going this year as spectator to my first French Quarter Classic. Thank you for making complementary tix available to FChat members. I'll contact your secretary for two tickets or else pay admission at the gate. I appreciate the opportunity for fans and enthusiasts to enjoy the event. Also, I looked at the weekend schedule and compared to schedules prior years of FQC. Sunday has nothing planned. Will there be a Ferrari autos parade through the French Quarter this year on Sunday, or has this been eliminated from the program in recent years? Does the FQC officially conclude on Saturday?

    Thanks,

    Vladimir Zuzukin (Vlad328)

    Fantastic Event!!!! We had a great time, and so did everyone I talked to both spectators and participants alike! For those who missed it, here are some poor quality cell phone videos as a brief representation of the event.

    This is the final pace lap before the green flag dropped on Saturday.

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcVDEZyqfYE&feature=g-crec-u[/ame]

    This is the first lap of the race.

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJQ3CR-4XrE&feature=g-crec-u[/ame]

    This is just some practice where you just sit back and enjoy the sound of a screaming Ferrari!

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnPAbs71ixM[/ame]

    Again - great event! Those involved should be proud.
