HELLO from Camaro Superfest Central!!
We just keep going – Thanks to you!! Just under 150 registrations (so far…!) which is a number we don’t usually see for another month! We still have room for both, the Friday activities and Saturday night cruise/dinner. But you should register SOON!!

Other new news –
Our door prize pile has started! We’ve already received items from several companies for door prizes and goodie bag stuffers. If you own a business (ANY business) and would like to advertise by placing flyers, cards or other items in our goodie bags, please contact me soon! Of special note, we have received several gift certificates from PFAD Racing, one good for $750 and another for $500 toward one of their total suspension packages! These will be given away at the awards presentation on Sunday and everyone has a chance to win these – as your car number goes back into the jar for picking! However, you must be present to win!

With the great announcement that the Z/28 is returning, our event t-shirt and awards design has been finalized. Here is a (very rough) sample of what it will look like. Our artist is already working on this design…




The shirt color will be red!
Speaking of event shirts… we’ll have more CSF hats to sell and some Camaro sunglasses! NEW for this year, we’ll be able to take credit cards at event HQ! We might be able to do that for the Silent Auction items too. However, we would have to charge a $1-2 extra, as we want ALL monies to go to our charity.

Please remember, in 2-3 weeks you will receive (if you are pre-registered) an Acceptance Letter, which will have all of the latest and complete information for the event. It will include instructions for Friday and Saturday activities. Plus some good info and tips about our event. These will go out until pre-registration ends about a week or so before the event dates.
WOW... we only have about 8 weeks to go!! CAMARO SUPERFEST will be here soon!!

Do you have a listing of vendors that will be at the show selling parts?

[Hurst]

Total n00b here when it comes to these things. I always stumbled upon them, walked around to look at all the cars then leave.

As a total "New Guy" hoping to have his car by then, what can I do or should do? Not planning on racing, but thought about parking with CONO or CAMARO5. Not sure what else there is to do or how to go about doing it. Total Novice. Thanks in advance for any advice.

LATEST NEWS -
June 2, 2013 -
HELLO again and welcome to another CAMARO SUPERFEST update!
Registrations have taken another good jump - 167!! That is still ahead of last year for this time period. To those already registered - first THANKS and second - watch your email (or regular mail) for your acceptance letter. This has ALL the instructions and information you need for helping us serve you and having a great event. Please read it through and when you come to CSF, you only need a copy of the first page with your number on it for registration verification.

As you will notice in the Registration History page, we have another NEW state being represented - welcome Rhode Island!! That makes 10 states and 2 Canada Provinces! And ,we have a few more vendors registered!
REMINDER!!! - registration usually pick-up at this time, expecting 10+ per week!! Our allowances for the Friday activity and Saturday Cruise/dinner are getting full! These will NOT be available "at the door", so if you want to participate, register VERY quickly!

MORE NEWS-
** The UPS truck is making near daily visits to my house, so the goodie nag and door prizes are starting to pile-up!
** At the recent MiFbody Meet & Greet event, we had 5 different Chevrolet people sign a mountain of items for our Silent Auctions for our charity - LUPUS Foundation of America. And as mentioned, we'll be happy to accept your bids on a credit card, allowing you to bid more often and higher!! But we will have to charge a small fee to do that.
** Our event t-shirts design is starting to look great! We'll post the final version in a week or so.

WOW!! Only ONE month until our event!! We hope you are getting as excited as we are and we're looking forward to seeing you here for a great Camaro event! ONE LAST item... please keep praying for good weather!

We'll talk again soon!

Barry: I see you noted more vendors have registered....do you have a listing of which vendors will be there?

[emcc-barry]

Philthy... vendors so far include our food vendor, ice cream and nut guy from last year; Inline Tube, Haggerty Insurance rep; Automotive Halo Kits LLC, Lingenfelter Motorsports, Livernois Motorsports, Freeman's Camaro Parts and a few selling misc parts.

I don't know if it is the dates (which we are not changing) or because we are an ALL Camaro event... we have always struggled to get BIG name vendors. And we HAVE tried!!

TO Hurst... not to worry about being a novice!! Just come out and have a great time. At CAMARO SUPERFEST we do NOT do any racing, it is primalrily a show & shine event with extra activities - like our Friday line-up of laps on a local road course and tour of the COPO Build Center!! Then Saturday is a cruise/dinner at the Lingenfelter Collection! Please feel free to email me any questions and I'll be happy to answer!

LATEST NEWS
Hello once again!!
YES, it's only been a week since our last update, but we want to keep you up-to-date on all that our event is about!

REGISTRATION NEWS - Have you checked out the numbers? 183 registered!! That's great! Last week we had 17 new registrations! That's 2.4 per day! I hope we can keep up that rate until we close pre-registration!

PLEASE NOTE - if you have pre-registered on or before Friday, June 7th, then you should have your acceptance letter in your email in-box!! If it is not there, please check your junk-trash files. Sometimes, my email goes there. There were only 7-9 registrations that did not provide an email address. If you are one of those, your letter will be in the mail back to you tomorrow! If you have not received your acceptance letter by June 29th - please email me asap! barry76Lt@wowway.com

We have also noticed in the registration numbers, we are missing several years! 1970, 72, 73, 74, 75, (what is it with the 70's??) 83 and 90. We like to be able to say that at our event, we had at least one from every year. So here's a shout-out to all of those years to get registered, even if it's AT the show!

Lastly, pre-registration via the website will be ending on Friday, June 29!! Our mail-in deadline is still Thursday, June 20. You CAN register at the event, but the Friday and Saturday night activities will not be available at that time.
Hope to see you soon!!

LATEST NEWS - June 16, 2013
WOW... we've done it again... probably 3-4 years in a row (or more) that we've hit over 200 pre-registered for CAMARO SUPERFEST! Our official number stands at 208!!
We're still missing those early 70's years... but we're hopeful they will register in the next 2 weeks, or simply show-up at the show!
Remember - pre-registration online and by mail ends Friday, June 28!!
Our Friday and Saturday activities are getting filled up, but there is still some room left, but sign-up NOW and if you have already registered and wish to add these to your registration - email me NOW!! (barry76Lt@wowway.com)
We've heard from Chevrolet and we will have at least 2 2014 Camaros on display at the show on Saturday. COOL!!
The goodie bag and door prize pile in my garage has grown! We've also received many great items for the Silent Auctions!! Remember... all this great stuff is for charity support - the LUPUS Foundation of America!
That's about it for this week... please keep the registrations coming in and keep those prayers for good weather going!
THANKS!

WOW... another update in just one day!!
Well... here's the big news... we had our monthly EMCC club meeting last night and everyone voted on a NEW dash plaque - it will be magnet style! YES, as in refrigerator magnet! This is a new trend that we are jumping on, as now your dash plaque can be on your fridge, tool box, where-ever!! (and not leave a tape residue!) They will look the same, just be more "flexible" in where and how you can use it. We hope you like this new addition!
And just how will that dash plaque look... well, here is the 99.9% final artwork for our t-shirts, which is also the basis for our awards and dash plaques...


As mentioned, yes, the t-shirts will be red in color!
We also have purchased a special buy for Camaro owners... SolarBat Camaro branded sun glasses! These normally retail for $49, but we have them for $25 at the show! Check out these images...

And did we mention... (pretty sure Barry has...) this year at CSF, we'll be all set to accept your major credit card at event HQ for your purchases of event t-shirts, CSF hats and sun glasses. We'll also accept credit card payment for our Silent Auctions for charity (but for this, we will charge a small fee as we want ALL monies to go to the charity).
Cool stuff and we're only THREE WEEKS AWAY!!!!

And a quick shout-out to the Michigan Firebird Club for being our judges again for the 5th year in a row! THANKS guys and gals for supporting our event!!!

[CamaroPhotos]

Great news from Chevrolet concerning our COPO Build Center Tour... we got food! While it's not gourmet, what could be more appropriate than Hot Dogs with a Chevrolet (add your own baseball and apple pie)!! The Build Center Team will be serving some dogs and refreshments, and a Chevrolet Performance Camaro show car will also be on hand while we wait for each group to tour the facility. We will be broken into groups for the tour to better manage our crowd when we arrive. THUS, the previous notes in your acceptance letter about packing a lunch, are no longer necessary (unless you really want to). You can still buy from the Waterford Track concessions, or wait until we arrive at the Build Center. We can also confirm that Camaro Chief Engineer Al Oppenheiser, and one of the main guys behind the design of the 5th Gen Camaro, Tom Peters, will both be at the COPO Build Center for talks with our group.
THANK-YOU Chevrolet Performance!!!
Let us also remind those attending Friday's activities at Camaro Superfest 2013...
you MUST HAVE photocopies of your drivers license and proof of insurance in order to get on the track!! No copies - NO TRACK laps!! There is no copy machine for use onsite. We're told the pit row area is quite a bit smaller then MIS... so we'll have to do some "winging it" when we arrive and in getting everyone lined up for laps. Please be patient with us, it's our first time too! Thanks!! We'll see you in a short 2 weeks!!

Only a few days away!
