Here are some pictures from the awards at the host hotel Saturday evening. Many thanks to Pete and all the folks who worked really hard to make this happen. I had a blast and I'll be looking for a chance to do it again. I'm pretty sure I would have won if they had an award for the slowest car on the track.

I'll probably get in trouble for saying this, but somebody needs to say something..... I honestly would be surprised if we ever see the official results, and if you ran on Friday morning, I guarantee you won't. With the timing AND scoring software malfunctions, it was almost impossible to keep everything straight....It took probably a half hour just to figure out who should get awards, and that was only for three participants. They found the fastest times for each session, then had to back-track from the car number and description of the car to figure out who the driver was. I'm not sure anyone will attempt to do that for all the cars. What everyone needs to do is just remember how much FUN it was driving around the track, and not worry about if they beat so and so or not. I can promise all of you that the scoring WILL NOT be a problem wiht next year's auto-x.

Rocketman 12, i believe you are right, it was definately fun, but i also believe they shouldnt have gave put any awards if they can't verify correct times with correct cars....even though it was fun, some of us still have that competitiveness about us that want to know how they ranked against everyone

So, I lent one of my GoPro's to Joe on Saturday for four of his runs around the course. Here's the video I put together for him:



Enjoy!

CamaroCross Results from Camaro5FEST III




Everyone is well aware of the technical difficulties we encountered. The biggest issue was with the people at the Autocross. We had no idea that people absorb the low power radio waves used by the wireless timing eyes and cut the operational range. When we tested the setup we never thought about testing range with 80 spectators or considered the impact of cell phones :( That is the bad news. The good news is we know now and are well prepared for C5FEST IV at GOTCHA RaceWay
. We were able, capture car number, car description and times on a basic spreadsheet for just over 90 entrants. That means we are missing times for many entrants. It doesn't matter why. We know we disappointed the people we were working so hard to please. I am sincerely sorry for that.

How about Becky's 35.9 Becky was the FASTEST C5 Amateur Driver and the FTD for the ZL1 class. How do we know Becky's class? Too easy. Becky drove a bone stock ZL1 Becky, this is your Hot Shoe Driver Award!!!



They will have to do until they release a Camaro design. The 'other' driver in Becky's ZL1 was Rob Anderson Pedders USA / Wretched Motorsports but Rob is a 'professional' so he doesn't count We ran a private session at the end of day Friday for the Moderators. They turned in some unbelievable times. TAG ran a -12.94. He was so fast we didn't see it, but if he says that was it time we believe him Dragoneye ran a 29.37 in a bone stock ZL1, but has been MIA since the FEST If anyone knows his whereabouts please report the details to the F.B.I. The G Man ran a Gator and was just shy of Dragoneye's ZL1 time. Unfortunately the timing equipment failed along with the in car video, out of car video and stills

Pedders was the sponsor of the AC and will be again next year. With our responsibility as AC / C5 Hosts we do a lot of driver ride alongs, and courtesy runs for the C5 Fest VIP Guests. That gives our drivers a bit of an advantage as well as disadvantage. They work long hard hours to make the AC event possible. Professional Class Bragging Rights Fastest Time of the Day goes to Bruce Raymond's Camaro which ran a 32.46 on the fourth run. We could be wrong, but we think everyone that ran had at least four runs. Danny Popp did countless demos for drivers and a series of charity rides. Danny and the L/28 was flat out the FTD overall, but due to the number of runs Danny made we placed an * on his result. Dan Howard ran great with the third fastest event time. We want to acknowledge Jordan from JDP / Pfadt as the Fastest non-Pedders AC Sponsor Driver and Car. I think he had only five runs If Friday's final session had not been rained out who knows what the results would have been???

I do. We would have all had even MORE FUN. The numbers are important, but they take a distant second place to the main reason the C5 CamaroCross event exists. FUN. No matter how hot, no matter how long the wait, no matter how many cones were mangled the smiles at the end of the runs tell the story. We'll do this again next year with the same AC TEAM and equipment. It will run smoother and all the drivers will get more runs. More runs mean more fun. C5FEST IV can't come soon enough.

Thanks Pete glad to finally see how I did, Cant complain about 6th fastest amateur driver for my first time on a Auto X course. Though rob gave me a few good pointers after his ride along my first run and you can see my time drop significantly. Can't wait to work with you again next year and you will be hearing from me this winter for those bushings and alignment kit so I can be faster next year



P.S. is it SOON yet?
