Possible Locations (Open to Suggestions):

Lafreniere Park; Seem crowded, but there was a car show going on. Couldn't really get any good pics with so many cars and traffic...


Please Note: I'm not a professional photographer, Lafreniere Park was more like a drive by with all the traffic.

I vote for Lakefront across from Landry's. Big parking lot and generally just cooler than Lafreniere. Finally, motivation to break out the tent and clean the car.

1.3, yes, it is the place by the point. The point is the breakwater for the harbor there.

Yea, but not the point. There is a parking lot across from Landrys. That is where we should probably meet. OR the fly?

**** Hesselrode, you need to come to Kenner, there has got to be at least 10 in a 3 miles radius of me. Freaking rx-8's popping up everywhere... It's almost annoying, I didn't buy the car so I could see another one every time I go to work. And if anyone is looking for one forsale, they got a s1 TG on airline forsale, think 8k.

Well, it's like I said, Open to suggestions. I lived in LA all my life, but only about 4-5 years in NOLA.

I'll try to check out the 2 spots tomorrow, zoo with my niece today

As a backup plan, we can always hit Fox and Hound in Elmwood and eat ribs.

Does anyone want to get on the 7s board and invite them?

I don't care if the 7s come either way, it may b more people which would be nice. We could use a parking garage as a backup plan.

I think you should extend the invite for a rotary meet. That was always fun back in the day when I had my FD. Rx8's were always invited to the rx7club meets. Fox and hound is pretty good too. We did that once with the 7 club and then cruised from there to the lake front later.

So this is kinda random... but what about a meet here..

NOLA Motorsports Park - New Orleans, Louisiana race track, go karts, performance driving schools

A little out of the way for some, but might be worth it.
