I had a great time my one day there and was going to offer one piece of (IMO) minor constructive criticism with a suggestion to possibly correct it in the future if the planners agreed. Looks like I'd best leave it at a great time and say thanks to everyone who had a hand in it.

This was my first fest and had a great time. Only thing I would like to see is more vendors. I know that's easer said than done do to the expense for travel, hotel food etc. I enjoy see products first hand and getting good deals with installs. Again not a complaint just an idea for next year.

This was my first fest(hadn't taken delivery yet last year),and it didn't hurt that it was only two and a half hours away. Had a great time!!!!! Kudos to all who were involved in making it such a success. I could foresee a swap meet being held in conjunction with the fest in the future.

I had a blast. It was everything I had hoped for and more. The heat was dangerously oppressive. I worried about others who are less in tune with their bodies than I, but I did not hear of anyone having heat related serious health problems. That was very good but maybe a bit of good luck. I cut back on what I wanted to do a lot (as I know a lot of others did) & was still on the edge much of the time. There really need to be more provisions for hydrating & cooling for drivers in race events who cannot have anything in their cars. Weather, we have no control over but some thought & planning regarding safety (in case of severe storms, excessive heat, etc) is an important point when events get this large. I hope the next one is in early summer not late summer because of both heat and schools/school activities starting in late June/early August these days. Other than that most of my thoughts are things well discussed or finer points better conveyed in a more personal and productive format. I'd welcome the chance to give input or help in any way I can in planning for next year's event.

This was my first Camaro5 Fest and I had a great time. I'm sure I will be at more of them. Great people and great cars. Perhaps the vendors will get orders later. Some people are looking and will decide later. Keep up the good work people that have put this together.

This was my first fest and I had a total blast. I also left quite a bit of my money with the vendors and saw some really good stuff I want in the future. The parking lot party was just an incredible experience too.
I never made it to the drag strip but I did the Autox and that was a blast too. I don't believe we can thank the mods/volunteers enough for making this a great event. I'm certain it can only get better and I can't wait for next year.

Overall it was "O.K." would have been better with more vendors and better deals not the same ones they give all the time, like free shipping.

Indy was my 2nd fest as I attended the 1st in Valdosta. I looked forward to the Indy event with great anticipation for some time. Sadly it fell short for me. I personally had a much better time at the 1st fest in Valdosta. The AutoX at Indy, at least Friday was not very good. I ( and several others ) left the Indy AutoX after 2 passes Friday morning quite disappointed. Weather at Indy was an issue (heat), I think events like these are better suited for late spring/early summer or early fall. I thank and congratulate all the vendors that attended, in talking to many the entire event for them was a big $$ loser. During much of the event there was very few people cruising the vendor rows which is not a good incentive for them to return to future fest's. I also thank the volunteer staff for all their hard efforts. The high points for the entire event for me were speaking with the GM folks Friday night at the Wyndham hotel parking lot and the vendor section.

Hell, even when it rained I was still havin' a blast!
 It's not too often you get to help change a set of tires in the pouring rain and then laugh about it later.  It's all about the experience of enjoying the company and companionship of hundreds of other folks from all walks of life across all of North America who all share a common hobby. If that's not what you're going to Camaro5 Fest for, then you'll never truly appreciate it like the rest of us do. The moderators, vendors, and all of the volunteers that help out make every Fest an amazingly fun, relaxed (albeit high-paced), and enjoyable experience. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't care where the Fest is, I'm going. I missed out on the first Fest in Valdosta, but I won't be making that mistake ever again
