I would have liked a little more organization at the gate, maybe have those drivers fill out the appropriate information in advance. Also would have liked a little more notification of where things were at, for example, I wasn't aware there was an area to get name tags till Sat. evening. Overall... HAD A BLAST and can't wait for the next. Great job on this event!! |

Sounds like Spike deserves a front row seat next year as well... Did any of the mods get to run the drag strip or auto-x?

it would be a huge disappointment to a lot of people if and when they do plan on having it on the west coast. I'm sure there are lots of people from out west, but let's face it people, the majority of the masses are on the east coast.

We have the F-body beach week every July here in SC, and I stopped going because its the same cars every year winning the same trophies every year. same goes for Camaros at Carlisle and the Fbody Gathering that is held in the same place year after year, things get stagnant. all that being said, this was our first fest. we learned a lot from it. we will be changing some things and we are always open to member input. because it is you, the members that make these events what they are. While I would enjoy a weekend with just the other mods, a whole slew of vendors and the GM team at the track, without you guys we have nothing.

Having to stay somewhere other than the host hotel, I would have liked more announcements at the track. I missed meeting the GM C5 team and would have liked to have gotten my car signed. Perhaps I was a tad late to the track (about 11:00), but I didn't want to be in all that traffic. It took me all of 5 minutes to get in.

I think everyone needs to take notice of the F-Body Gathering, which takes place every year in Atlanta GA. It has grown bigger and bigger every year and is now in its 14 year. Its always been in the SouthEast in Atlanta. I think Camro5 fest needs to always stay in its original location. That way it can grow and be bigger and bigger every year. I agree, it needs to be a three day event.

1. More room for parking at the host hotel.
2. Some type of schedule that would be given out at the gate. My family needed a break during the early afternoon to go back to the hotel and rest. If we had a written schedule we could have planned a little better. As it turned out, later I needed to take the family to a nice dinner right when the competition was beginning. I also missed the run around the oval track despite having went out there and sitting for a while with about 15 other cars. (I never heard a time we were all suppose to go out there.) About an hour later, when I was back drag racing, they were all on the oval. A written schedule could have helped here again. 3. Maybe a little something for the kids. (RC club demo, hot wheel race, video game car racing, etc...) Besides these three things, I think it was awesome! I was surprised that no decal vendor showed up or no one was selling the air freshener that looked like a bee. Best event I have ever went to and the family had a great time. I think we should have it there again!

Absolutely...no complaining folks...this event was amazing. And remember, this event started out with a couple of guys saying "let's get together and hang out" and it exploded from there.
I like the idea of a two day event...and I think that if they had known how big this thing was going to get...it would have been, but by the time it exploded, a lot of the preliminary plans had been made. I agree that next year, the locals should be more involved....they were blown away by us, and many would have come out, had they known. Although it's too late to get the press out there for this year's event, we could still send some of these amazing pictures to a big car magazine, and I think we could still get some press coverage. I agree with most of the comments from the first couple of posts, except for the one about being closer to the venue. These tracks are almost always located in the middle of nowhere because of the noise, and there would never be enough hotel rooms close enough to a decent track. Also, I liked the location of the vendors because if we want a bigger road course, the vendors couldn't be sitting where the larger road course would be. I think this event was amazing and it was perfect because it left us all wanting more, and that's what the first event should always do. GREAT JOB GUYS....it was AWESOME!!!
