Default Indy Car Louisiana

Indy Car is coming to Louisiana!!! NOLA Motorsports will be hosting an Indy Car event April 10 - 12, 2015.
Indy Car events around the country often have Honda sponsorships which results in a Parade Lap of Honda S2000s carrying an Indy Car Driver on the back of the car.
The article below is announcing the event: http://www.theneworleansadvocate.com...and-prix-of-la

I have participated in the event twice at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham. It was great fun.
I don't have any idea whether the organizers are receptive to Parade Lap; but, I would be interested in local S2000 owners interest.

Post up and I will explore opportunity. We need at least 30 Honda S2000s.

Good news Mike. I'm looking at this very close. We will see sir. Dragon week is usually around that time of the year.

I had some friends do this at Mid-Ohio and they said it was super-fun. I'm definitely in if this is happening.

Dragon,
This is Joel from Pensacola... I missed the Barber event last year, but did it the first four years and really enjoyed it. I believe you and I had our stickers put on in Montgomery together a couple of years ago. I have a 07 Grand Prix White with rear spoiler. I would be very interested in joining you guys over there if possible?

Take care,
Joel

New S2000 owner from the Pensacola area, I spoke with Joel over the weekend about this event and would be interested in participating if it materializes.

This is NOT going to happen. Basically without Honda as a sponsor of the event, there is little motivation to entertain a parade lap of Honda S2000s.
The local folks have their hands full just building the infrastructure (viewing stands, stages, other facilities, etc.).
It will certainly be a fun event for all car folks.
