This is not the right mentality to have. It's just as bad as the people complaining and threatening to do just that. C5Fest is an event that should try and make everyone happy. That might not be able to happen in a year or 2 but this is a big country and having the event move is good for the simple fact that you're not alienating C5ers every year.

Maybe CFEST being at Indy again is helping them get ahead of the game for future endeavors.... Just a thought.

I would agree, I'll bet since 2013 is booked, they are looking for a possible venue for 2014.

Well, here is my take on Indy. I didn't go this year because it was there. Could have but did not want to put the milage on the car. Next year I will plan on jumping in with a "Camaravan" coming out of Florida or somewhere here in Georgia. Ill sleep in my trunk or what ever but I plan on making it anyway because I really want to experience a C5F. Even though I really dislike Indiana.

Some where in this 18 page thread I saw someone say that this could split the "Fest" some how. You know what, thats actually not a bad idea to some degree. You could have one in the spring and then one in the fall splitting the country in half by east and west or even north and south during the more appropriate times of the year. It could be the "C5 Fall Bash" in Texas some time around Sept/Oct ish, and have the "C5 Spring Sling" up in Kansas some time in April. Topeka, KS has a place called Heartland Park with a 1/4 mile drag strip and a 2.5 road course. Multiple hotels near by and its right off an interstate. I would list places in Texas but there are to many to list and besides they have the "Texas Mile". I do understand why it hasn't been in Texas though. I mean let's face, if C5F ever makes it to Texas it will probably never leave (*Texan). Anyway, just throwing my .02 in since everyone else has.

I would be willing to bet they are looking to get the fest set one to two years out. Having it at Indy again is a smart way to get ahead. Sometimes you have to step back before you can go forward. (Not that Indy is a step back but you get what I mean)

As of right now only the Mods see the "Big Picture".

It's not the location itself that people are upset about; it's the fact that they are holding the event in the same place as last year. imo it screwed out the 99% of the west coast bringing their cars out.

Would be cool. Pretty damned optimistic of you fellas, but would be cool.

Trying to make everyone happy is the end goal. When selections are made each year this same thing happens. I know you personally are dissapointed it did not move "this time" as you had hoped. But we as Texans have seen the fest in three complete different directions and the drive has been almost identical distances. I too hope to see it closer. What I would like to see is you or someone in your area find us a hotel location where we could use the Texas Motorplex somewhere down the line. Eventually when this thing is mature we will have a rotation nailed down and everyone will know. This repeat venue is a major step in the maturization process. Sorry you'll have to wait another year or less if it's South and in the spring.

You have great thoughts. In order to bring the Fest South again it must move to Spring. (which brings on a whole new group of compaints

). So making a move South limits the amout of time to plan.

Disclaimer: I have no idea about Southern location or Spring plans

70,000 members and you going to make them all HAPPY ????? GOOD LUCK WITH THAT>

Ryanbabz71 · 11-28-2012, 06:22 PM

Having the venue less than 2 miles from my home is very convenient, however I miss out on the caravans and such as others participate to get here

There are pros and cons for everyone.
