Where: South Georgia Motorsports Park

Who: All Camaro5 members, family and friends worldwide.

Camaro5.com is proud to bring you our first annual Track Day / Meet and Greet.

Camaro5.com has become one of the prominent websites for the newest 5th Generation Camaro. As such we want to provide fans of the 5th Gen Camaro a chance to get together and put these exceptional cars to the test. This event is for people of all ages with your choice of lodging at a discounted hotel or trackside camping with showers and power. Camaro5 will also provide three sponsored meals over the course of the weekend event.

Our intent is for this event to appeal to all the different Camaro addictions our members may have. As such we will have competitive drag races at one of the premier strips in the country, used regularly by NHRA teams for testing. Additionally the local SCCA will setup an autocross circuit with professional on course instruction. For those looking for a safer yet just as dynamic event, we are providing a mobile dyno so you can get the "no kidding" power numbers for your car. And, for those of you that can truly appreciate the beauty of this new era of American muscle, we will have a car show to show off your rides to all in attendance. Finally, if you want to see the latest in what the aftermarket specialists are doing, we will have a Vendor's Alley for all of our sponsors to show and sell the latest in Camaro products.

For more details on all the activities please see the schedule information below.

We are actively looking for vendors to be a part of this event and sign up as Camaro5 Fest sponsors. Please contact GTAHVIT for sponsorship details.

doubtful... they just slapped this idea together last week.





just joshin ya - that's why they capped the driver list. with two track events & a dyno being run all day, there should be enough time & space for people. most won't be on a specific thing more than a few times anyway.

Have been checking the forum but have not seen anything on this and was curious. Is there going to be a vendor at the event offering official Camaro5 Fest swag?

Just freakin out a bit. My phone has been ringing off the hook with sponsor stuff and coordinating things.

All good stuff, I've meet great people. It's given me an opportunity to work closely with our Fest Sponsors which has been pretty damn cool.


But I'm starting to stress a bit now that we're right around the corner... I'm just hoping I didn't miss something major.

But I have no doubt this will be a BLAST for everyone there.
