WHERE WILL CAMARO FEST VIII BE LOCATED
 

Or was VII the last one?

Bowling Green was the last I heard. Date isnt set last I heard.

Hopefully I can make the next one!

I have not heard anything about VII being the last fest. I sure hope not because I'm looking forward to the next one.

I know it was quite the hike for a select few from the West Coast, but BG was an awesome location. Looking forward to the next one for sure! :first:

I like BG too. If it's there next year I'm coming on Wednesday so I won't be so rushed this time.

^^^ Totally. I ended up going to Nashville for the next week afterwards which was a great choice, so Ill definitely be making a larger trip out of it again.

BG, I hope. I come on a Tuesday, settle in, then enjoy everything more -- as Jus1dab noted, not rushed ;o)

-Don

I too come in early on wed to settle in and enjoy the local cuisine and tasty beverages....

Already working on Fest VIII...:smoking:

Second that Bo and yessssss Mlee!!!:pop2:

Yes, Fest VII was the last one.

In-so-far as we haven't had any since then, making it the last (ie, previous) Fest.

The next fest is currently being planned.

And that one will be the last Fest.

That is, until we do yet another one after that.


:lol:

Must be in politics.


















Perfect for a site mod.

Engineering actually.

I just like pointing out ambiguity, and messing with people when it comes to when the next Fest is happening.

Engineering! Much better. Nice job messing with people.

We also came in early on Wednesday and took our time enjoying the local hospitality plus we also spent some time in Nashville after the fest and it was a blast.

Hell I hope so. Takes nearly a year to plan everything out as smooth as you guys do it.

I may even track my car or make a couple passes on the drag strip next year. Those mods I got at this years fest have made me a little speed hungry.

Don't forget that The Tail of the Dragon is near and adds a nice topping to the Fest.

If it's in BG or close I will be coming up from Orlando.

Same

Bowling Green was GREAT!! Hope it is there next year again!

Time to see a different part of the country.. hopefully somewhere in Georgia or Florida would be my choice.

Soon......:popcorn::happy0180:

Hopefully after July. We finish up baseball the end of June in 2018 :)

I wish they would go back to SGMSP where C5Fest 1 was held

Me Too..:headbang:

Our caravan was epic with the Police escort :)

BG is a great location with everything close. The city caters to groups like this as they realize how much $$ it brings to their local economy. The one common complaint was the heat in July. The scenery is so beautiful in that part of the country I think a fall fest would be fantastic. The tail of the dragon in the fall must be spectacular.

I agree 100%. I really think the fest should be moved to fall, but spring would be a close second.

I brought my 6 and 7 year old kids to this years camaro fest and it was just too hot to stay outside for more than a few hours at a time.

Otherwise the location is perfect (although I am biased since I live < 4hr away). We really liked visiting local caves and the Corvette Museum while we were there.

If we have it in the fall, won't they be in school?

No other location will be as good as BG. Besides, finding a place to have the fest is half the battle.

We start school in July (25th this year). A mid October would be nice they have 2 weeks fall break then. [emoji16][emoji1360]

Problem with fall or spring breaks is schools take them at al different times. My theory always was my kids wouldn't suffer from a few days of missed school. Sometimes they would send work or let them make it up on return. Family time is also important. Both parents had college degrees & fully capable of helping them learn. I know schools these days can be sticklers though.

I love BG. I didn't make it to SGMP. Atlanta Dragway is a great track & Road Atlanta is in the same vicinity. I really don't care as much about the location as I do about the weather. Believe it or not, BG was considerably cooler this year compared to two years ago. I think Fall would be AWESOME somewhere...

Somewhere west of the Mississippi, give the other half of the country a chance to participate.

LSFest has grown every year since its conception. Its in Bowling Green every year at about the same time. Its now just gotten big enough for a west fest. Maybe Camarofest will become big enough one day to do the same. Bouncing a meet around each year is equally aggrevating as it is nice. To me its not worth the effort compared to a fixed location.

Holding it at the same place and the same time of year (more or less) gives people a chance to get familiar with the surroundings. More hotels can be worked to get deals, too. While the host hotel may only want to do 25% of their rooms at FEST rates, another hotel might be willing to offer the same sorts of discounts.

There are pros and cons for holding it in Bowling Green every year.
Bowling green is an awesome place where everything can be held in a fairly tightly grouped area. Drag racing/ car show/ autocross all on the same grounds and road course very close by. Plenty of hotels. The city is great at hosing events like this. The Corvette Factory and museum also add car related activities available that you won't get anywhere else.

Having it in Bowling Green every year makes it less of a "must attend" event to me. If I don't go this year I can always go next year. Don't get me wrong I love BG and want to go many more times. There are however some other places and tracks I want to visit with my car and most years I will only be able to make one big road trip. That means it will be a choice between going back to BG or visiting some bucket list track/place.

I would prefer we do every other year in BG with the between years rotating around to different venues. That would bring some different attendees as well as keeping BG from getting stale.
