Would these same complainers be complaining if they beat the Prius, or Vette or Porsche? I think not.
I agree its Camaro fest, but I welcome all good competition.
Final thought: I didn't see the Corvette Museum tell Camaro5 members to take a hike when they set up the Thursday road course run. Some ran their Camaros on their Corvette track. At the end of the day, we are C5fest, not the NHRA, SCCA or any other sanctioned body or event. At best you might get a thropy, but we come here to gather as C5members to have fun so can the complaining just cease? And race what you brought cause at the end of the day, its never going to be perfectly fair in all classes with all the various modifications in and under all these camaros. There was 800 camaros at fest and i bet there was no two alike. So how to you fairly group them when you cant see or know all rhe mods they may have made?

Pete at AutoX said they got together with Mlee and Drag would call over to Pete by cell at AutoX and Pete would send us over to drag. No call was ever received. Heard my name being announced as being eliminated cause of no show. Everyone days every year that members can do both, and every year this stuff happens. Oh, you can run, but if you ate good enough to go deep in qualifying, then this happens. I didnt go to fest last two years cause of stuff like this. Had hoped things had improved. It hasnt.

I'm totally confused by your last two posts... one full of complaints and just the opposite on the other. If you were in AutoX on Sat afternoon you were obviously in the finals. Drag and AutoX finals running simultaneously does not allow for cars to make it back and forth to do both. Yes we try to do it every year and it just cannot be done so that's our fault not yours. But if you can hear your name being disqualified you can obviously hear your class being called up and at that point a decision on your part had to be made. Glad you tried to make the most of all the racing it's just trophies and fun. No big awards here.
