2005 French Quarter Classic

I just received an email on the new date - December 8 -11 2005! The locals in New Orleans sure do rebound quickly and will not be kept down!! Here is some text from the e-mail:

This city needs this event now more than ever. Even though the impact on the local economy is just north of a half a million dollars, the money directly benefits the local hotels, restaurants, police departments and the many venues we employ to make the FQC the best Ferrari party ever.

Appropriately our charity this year will focus on Katrina’s victims. All of the proceeds will be donated to the men and women of the New Orleans Police Department who braved against all odds to protect our beloved city, while most of them lost their homes and every possession. They cannot wait to welcome us back.
