Not to say that's a bad thing or that folks won't pay the extra. I think we proved this year that Thursday is a big hit.

An overall champion is a great idea too...

A lot of great comments in your post. Thanks!!

Mlee, I understand its not for everyone, not everyone is going to enter Multiple events (i.e. - drag, car show, autoX). Yes, I would love a three day event. But I was talking about crowning a over all Fest champion. I propose points assigned to every top 5 or 10 event winners. The more events you signup for and place, the more points you get. At the end of the three day event, the person with the most points, gets the trophy. In the event of a tie, then have a Chevrolet representive or the "Top Camaro of the year" Event Trophy sponsor pick the winner. So the more events you sign up for the better chance you have to be crowned the best. This point assignment eliminates any one event winner, nor just the fastest, or just the owner who spends the most on their car from being crowned.

I also propose that the entery price be adjusted for the number of events you enter or the number of days you stay.

Would it be possible for us "general" members to see a price break down of what this past fest cost for Camaro5 to run? Maybe it has already been posted and I missed it, but it might make it easier for us to understand the cost of running an event like this.

^^^ I doubt that will ever be posted, but the largest expense will be renting the track and that can very wildly from track to track.
