To add further insult to injury, I can vividly account for those who went to C5F1 & 2 who still talk about it to this day.

Not so much so with last years ordeal....

Just interested as to how, of all places, it ends up in the exact same spot as last year.

If I honestly thought that there would be a majority of Camaro folks rollin up to Indy this year, we'd ride out and represent.

Just disappointed in the decision....like the majority will be when they see this tomorrow morning.
Texas and Cali have the most Camaros. Put it somewhere around there and you'd probably get much more attendees. I'd drive to Texas, thats as far as I'll go.

Having the Fest at the same place makes sense. Less advance planning so more time can be spent on the racing events. More freebies and discounts from the city and such. As they do notice 1,000 Camaros invading thier city! When you don't have to wastse your time in advance planning you can concentrate on refining plans already in place.

Agreed. Didn't say a word when Indy was announced for 2012. I attended C5 Fest II in Arizona, and hoped that 2013 would move south or west again to be able to attend. It was only fair that others had the opportunity to experience the fun, but disappointment doesn't even begin to cover how I feel now.:(

To not reinvent the wheel again and again at a new location. To make the biggest fest even better and improve on it exponentially.
