Just my .02 that popped in my head.
nah, we aren't that sneaky... All we really used for "marketing" was a little nudge from our very good friends at GM and the two magazine articles in Camaro Performers and GMHTP.

Therefore, as I tried to make the point before, you don't make a statement that something will happen in a few days if it is going to take weeks to come to fruition.
We knew you weren't being snide. But you are being way too overly formal about the whole thing. I mean, this thread is 50+ pages of post-whoring while we wait around to hear the final results. You really can't get much more informal than that.

I'm willing to bet that once the announcement is made, the mods will probably create an entirely new thread with all of the details in the first post that way no one has to worry about trying to sort through 50+ pages of post-whoring. Either that, or they'll just delete all the posts in this thread and set bunny's post count back a few hundred

Regardless, chill bro. The mods work their asses off trying to set up this incredible get together. Don't add to their problems by making them feel bad about some t's that haven't been dotted or some i's that didn't get crossed yet

It really isn't more complicated than that... But that still leaves us with the predicament of if we had never made this "announcement" we'd still be getting heat from our members who so badly want the details...

At least this shows that we are actively working it to get it finalized.

I wish we could make everyone happy and get the information out when everyone needs it... But we all know that ain't gonna happen.
perhaps the OP, or anyone that does know whats going on should have posted when they found out there's been a delay. I'm sure people would have stopped asking over and over and over and over and over...and...well you get the point. lol

that doesn't say anything about being delayed. We had no timeframe of when to expect the info, except for "a few days".

I'm just saying, if someone could have come forward and said something like, "sorry, we expected everything to be final already, but there's been a delay for XXXXX reason. please be patient. " I'm sure that would have went a long way.

Personally, I don't really care. I'm there either way, but i do understand some peoples situation that are driving far. I'm having fun with the post whoring. It was just a comment.
