I KNOW I'm going to get slaughtered for this but has anyone considered a Dual C5 Meet? 
One E coast and another for those unwilling or unable to make it to the E coast, maybe TX or CA or wherever decided. This way about 90% of Camaro owners travel costs/needs could be met. Additionally, they could be set up and/or coordinated separately(which is a good thing IMO).
Weather is different regionally and I don't think it's out of the question to consider.

Trust me, this suggestion has been made before, so don't worry about being grenaded
The whole point of a national Camaro5 Fest is so that everyone can get a chance to meet people from this site that they talk to on a semi-regular basis that they wouldn't normally be able to meet in person. Having two Fests per year would only hinder that. It would also practically double the costs for vendors because the majority of them would try to attend both since they don't want to alienate half their base. Not to mention there's barely enough C5 staff to get all of the logistics handled for one Fest per year
Your suggestion is what the regional forums are for.
Camaro5 is purposely moving the Fest around the country from year to year to help with this. They want to make the experience accessible to everyone, even if it's not every single year. It doesn't make sense to put any Fest right up against the coast (either East or West) because the radius of attendance gets cut in half - you know, since the other half is in the ocean.
Just imagine drawing a 1600 mile radius circle and placing it somewhere on the map. I imagine that's about the farthest most people are willing to drive to attend. No matter where you locate the Fest, there's going to be folks complaining that it's too far. I can't see the Fest moving much further west than Phoenix or much further East than Indy. Just because this one may be too far from you doesn't mean the next one or two will be.
