See you there

alright thanks bro,
Lewylewy my carmaro loving brother may show up this year with his zl550, we got her running in the low 11's now and should go 10's very soon.
I'll see how many guys are willing to make that trip and post up when i get a serious count.
I can assure you that no cute girl in a 68 will be whiping on me this year LOL

I can't wait! The caravan is half the fun... looks like a long one this year, but I don't care! I'm ready for the New England Caravan!

Are you upset that you aren't keeping pace or that I've had too few?

I'd love to make the drive out but can't ditch the kids on my accountant wife that many days, at that time of year.

Wish you could go. If no flight, maybe next year.

that basically puts the entire east coast of the country SOL. and whether people want to face it or not, the eastern half of the country is where most of us Camaro5 members live. most people like me only have so many vacation days each year. driving out to AZ would easily kill four days (round trip driving). that would leave me with only three days to enjoy a week's vacation.

freakin' wonderful.....

Nevermind...
I want to say, but I know you are just venting...

But if you can come out with or with out the car, We west coast and the Texas members will be Happy to meet and see you.

31 hours 18 minutes / 2042.51 miles is just too much for me. That's about $400 round trip just for gas.

Shoot...I spent $400 round trip on gas. I can do it. So can you!

For most (if not all) of us, Camaro5Fest was the best weekend of our lives. I said from day one, I don't care where it is this year, I'LL BE THERE!! I'm ready for another amazing road trip full of new sights, new opportunities, and lots of new friends!!!

Not about numbers...all about giving everyone the opportunity.

We want as many of our members as possible to have a chance to attend. and not the cater to one location over another.

I think we are excited that the size of the first, which blew us away, could/might/may be overshadowed by the size of the second...

But we will see it as a success when we're walking around FB and see all spectators, drivers and sponsors enjoying themselves...

I like this idea...wonder if it'll work out! Quite possibly so?

Oh well have fun now the West Coast Boys & Girl;s can have fun.

More than that.

Well over a hundred, I'm thinking. We'll have some from Louisiana, Alambama...oh, it's going to be a HUGE turnout!

:( Fly in. Somoene can pick you up. Or do a rental. YOU CAN"T MISS IT!
