Let's recap for a moment...shall we? I think this whole "soon" business deserves an uplifting message!!
As of right now, the pre-registration thread lists 457 Drivers and 792 Spectators planning to attend the Fest. Now....I'm not one to count my Mustang's before they break...but that doesn't include our awesome vendors, and history shows us that typically actual attendance (including cars) is much higher. AANNNNDDD....this is already nearly double our final registration numbers for Fest I & II!!!! In all, that means there will be a very real chance to top 2000 people, and possibly even 800-1000 cars! We're making arrangements with an awesome track, the Lucas Oil Raceway - and we're as close to the middle of the country as we could come. That means more of YOU, our kicka$$ members, can get there with less travel than the past two years! I keep comparing to the past two years because they really are our benchmark. Fest I & II went off wonderfully, and I can't think of a single memory in my life where I was more excited and happy! With that in mind -- this year is going to be BIGGER, and BETTER! Everything will be enhanced, and we even have a few new "surprises" in store..... |

Isn't there a road course at Indy? I was thinking of orange cones when we talk autocross, but in one of the videos, it looks like there is some sort of high speed road course to run? Anyone know what's planned other than cones?

What I can say is C5FEST III will be the best FEST to date. INDY and fast cars are second only to Detroit and Muscle Cars. We'll have more C5 members in attendance than the other years combined if we continue at this registration pace. The people are the real reason the FEST is so great. That is what I really enjoy about the event. Most car gathering are cars and racing with a bit of social activity. C5FEST is a social event with some car stuff. I'll continue to rag on the Mod Squad about releasing details SOON only because I think they deserve it I may even put out a call to arms to the Rebel Leader and #2.99... SOON While we are waiting on the Mod Squad to release more details as SOON as possible, use the time to pick another Grudge Match, tweak your 5th Gen, plan your caravan and sign up another Camaro5 member. While we are all dialed in on the event there are many C5 members that don't have a clue what C5FEST is. We could really use your help in all areas of the forum to let everyone know how great C5FEST is and why they should come. Tell them they should register as SOON as possible. Even if we don't have a host hotel, but we'll have one SOON I look forward to seeing all of you SOON |

There is no road course this year. There IS and autocross. The video starts with Paul Tracy running the autocross at the OPTIMA Challenge and then shows him coming into some high speed Ss on the road course. C5FEST will be orange cones vs Camaros

Yes there is a road course at Indy, but we aren't going to Indy Motor Speedway for Camaro5 Fest. C5F III is being held a few miles down the road at Lucas Oil Raceway. LOR also has a road course, but we aren't going to be using it for the 'Fest. It uses the drag strip as part of the track, so the two can't be used at the same time
