Lots and lots of time and money are fronted for projects like these...I know, I've done them before! I've laid over $5K of my own money down to host such events with track rental, plaques, and host hotel deposits...who is going to do this? 4 times?

Local or regional events are awesome, and can be done prior to the annual event. But I'd say keep them that way, local, smaller and just have folks together to have fun.

Hard to explain...but I've been there and done it...it's tough work, long hard work and you are banking on a return of your investment to just break even!! Might not happen every time!

I like the annual event...if it means I travel for 15 hours like I did this year, then so be it, I'll travel 15 hours again! That's the beauty of C5F...getting an entire community together at one location, for one hell of a good time!

All the problems you listed are done anytime a event is planned. I think each region should have its own planning committee instead of just having one planning board. Hey, If it makes this happen I will gladly serve on the SouthEast committee. No one says it would be easy. Just ask the committee who put this years Fest together. But in reality I feel its best for the Camaro5 family as a whole. Not everyone will be able to afford a 15 hour trip and won't come. But if its closer to there region, then they will. More people and cars equal more money. It can be done if everyone gets on board and does there part. Count me in!! I would really like to see this happen.
