Through The Mod's Eyes: Mindz Camaro Fest 8 footage
Hey all,
Well it looks like my camera is taking a crap on me, but I took several pics on both my phone and dslr. I'm posting my favorites in this first post, and will dump the rest in subsequent posts. Hope you all had as much or more fun than I did!  Attachment 946851 |

First up are the vendor pics as that is normally the start of my Fest. I had the pleasure of meeting a bunch of the youtubers who were out showcasing their cars and apparel, but also some of the newer companies peddling wares for the 6th gens that weren't around for the 5th gens the last time I attended a fest. I also got to say hi to the friends I have made over the years such as Jason and Ricardo from Phastek, Kevin and Joe from ACS, Ofer from Gen5DIY, and more.

After vendor setup, it was time to head back to the hotel for the Meet Greet and Eat put on by Becky and Joe. This tradition has been at every fest starting with CamaroFest II if I'm not mistaken. I wouldn't be surprised if Becky and Joe put it on at the first fest in Valdosta though! I didn't take many pictures because it was a mad house and I was meeting people left and right. I even went live to show the mass of people as the doors opened. (facebook link below)

After the Meet Greet and Eat, the initial kickoff of the Fest was complete. People gathered in the parking lot to hang out, show off their lights/engine bays, and meet their favorite youtubers and the team from Chevrolet in a laid back, casual atmosphere. The next morning I snuck out early to get some shots of a couple cars before we took off to open the track.

After the vendor setup, I was able to make it over to the NCM track and catch the last couple sessions of the track day put on by Hooked on Driving. I only got a few shots of the two sessions, but it looked like a blast!

Since I can't reorder posts easily, I'm just going to keep going as though the posts are in order.
Next up is the Chevrolet Booth and all the shiny new refreshes shown off. Chevrolet had a tech talk hour at lunch both days telling us all about the new Camaro. Also, there was a club that crossed the Pacific to make it out the Fest. Talk about passion and dedication! The Fest is now an international event. Thank you to AMCC coming all the way out from China. We hope you had a good time and hope to see you next year as well! Notes on the 2019 Camaro new features/tech: 2LT is a 1LT with leather seats. NEW 3LT is the old 2LT (full options) Full frame rearview mirror camera which shows 270 degree view Forward collision alert New infotainment 3 system: user recognition profile per keyfob. Seat position, radio app layout, HUD adjustment, 10L80 transmission in the SS from suv, but has all the Camaro performance features Pops and Burbles will crack with every gear change at WOT Blended spectrum lighting Predictive Tach (it will downshift while braking) Over The Air updates for apps so no more taking your car to the dealer for updates Riverside Blue/Satin Steel colors |

Car Show prep is next. I didn't get to spend as much time here as I usually do, but there were some VERY nice looking cars here.

Now for the most hyped part of the event! There was lots of smack talk from the Gwatney group, even calling out each other! I took more video than photos, and will upload the videos and edit this post with the video links later.
Smokey, showy burnouts will be a separate post. |

Time for the AutoX! First off is a live video I was taking while being chauffeured around the autox course by Mr W himself in his ZL1 1LE! Pretty impressive machine and driving skills!

We will end this series of posts with some miscellaneous shots that I really wanted to include but didn't really fit under any category.
Next year, if you remember, ask Mike Lee about his Mlee23 burger from Sonic.  |
