I was looking at the pics people posted so far of C5Fest VI and while it looked fun, it didn't look like there were a lot of cars, and especially a lack of vendors. It kind of just looked like a large club meet or something.
I want one in the Southeast again so I can finally go, rofl. There hasn't been a Southeast C5 fest since the first one in Valdosta and the market is a pretty big niche. Florida alone is a huge audience; we hosted our own sort-of-C5Fest once called the Sunshine State Camaro Rally and nearly 200 cars alone showed up for that.
Another thing is to not schedule them in a polarized season anymore (Winter/Summer). Summers involve too much rain and the heat is often unbearable, and winters... well, depending on where you at, could be wonderful (southeast or far out west) or downright dreadful. Spring and Fall are the best times to do these things.

The pictures don't do the numbers justice!! There was a LOT of Camaros in Bowling Green!! Lol Of the 3 Fests I've been to this one felt like the biggest (attendance wise) so far! You have to also remember that the fest was held at 2 locations this year. We went back and forth on Friday between the 2 tracks when one of our friends was racing.. The unofficial number I heard from a prominent GM person was about 1000 Camaros..Im not sure how correct the unofficial number is but I bet it's pretty close!
