A west coast event this year to balance it out seems fair and then from there try to do one in the midwest.

I will submit Branson, MO

I live in Branson, MO and we have so many rallies here it's amazing. Gold Wings, Trikes, Antiques, Hot Rods, Z's last year.. even had a few RHD Skylines show up.

From Spring until Fall, there's a ton of stuff to do. I moved here from Vegas 3 and 1/2 years ago and since that time, they've put in a convention center, an airport (it's serviced by Air Trans, Frontier and a couple other smaller regional carriers with more being added in the near future) You can also fly into Springfield which is less than an hour away. As well STL, KC and Little Rock are all 4 hours or less if you have to fly.

They completed a new waterfront shopping plaza/Hilton Hotel about 4 and 1/2 years ago which features some decent restaurants shopping bars and a view of Lake Tanecomo.

Branson is surrounded by Lake Tanecomo and Table Rock Lake and offers excellent fishing, fly fishing and boating. Lot's of places to rent boats.

Being the live music capital of the world, of course there are a lot of shows, there are some that are not worth seeing but a lot are and there IS something for just about everyone? Branson offers Silver Dollar City amusement park which is pretty decent. There are more go kart tracks than anywhere I've ever seen. We have Ziplines galore and about the prettiest scenery you'll find anywhere.

I believe there is a decent Speedway up near Springfield.

I'm connected enough to get group rates on hotels-nice ones and shows.

Branson is within a day's drive for 1/2 of the US population and is a top 10 US family destination so if strip clubs are high on your list of priorities, you'll be sad.

It's certainly not Vegas but it's a place you could bring your beautiful cars and entire family to and not have to worry about some tool screwing with your car or family.

Just throwing it out there.

I say the fest is in Salt Lake City, UTAH!!

Wait, never mind. It's boring here.

But we do have the Miller Motorsports park!

Fine Print:

1. This has to be the official wedding ceremony. Use a Justice of the Peace, Minister or Priest, but it would have to be the first set of 'vows'. You can hold your real reception after the event, but I am sure there will be a Camaro-ception Celebration.

2. The bride and groom both must wear, in the most dignified possible style, a little bit of Pedders RED, BLACK and YELLOW.

We'll fly in the Pedders bull, we could do it at the drag strip... we'll help you figure out how to do this in a dignified, but Camaro-fanatic way. This is a HUGE bribe -- Retail is more than $6,3000 and that does not include installation. Your wedding gift will include the bits and the installation. My guess is some of my friends in the business will also have wedding gifts for you. This would be awesome if you would share your special day will all of us at C5Fest while we make your Camaro even more special as a wedding gift. Just thinking out loud in the forum....

This offer is open only to Honey Bee.

I don't care where it is, from Key West to Fairbanks, from Brownsville Texas to Nova Scotia..... If I'm off I'll be there... Unfortunately I work in a job where we are not allowed time off for anything other than a death in the immediate family...I was headed to Valdosta, and changed rigs, so my schedule changed...I missed it but I'm looking forward to the next one...

I feel it only fair to move it around.... West Coast, East Coast, North, South etc....Yes it would be cool to have it in my backyard, I would even help however I could to coordinate it, but I'm game wherever it is...

Thumbs up

I'm ALL IN at Vegas....one of the best locations for an event like this anywhere in the world.

BUT.....in favor of making everyone happy.

Here you go,

Hopefully they'll have the "Chapel" rebuilt in time for us.

They had little choice after the last NHRA National event with all the crashes they had.

I would do Vegas, but would probably trailer it. Texas would be better. Even Bandimere in Colorado would be good (really slow times, though).
