Here is my proposal:
With a car show, AutoX and multiple drag classes, why are we still trying to cram all this in to just two days? Thursday, this year, people showed up for the Corvette museum and track day. Thats cool and all, but we are Camaro5, not Corvette5, why can't we do some of these "Camaro" Events on Thursday? Perhaps Thursday night drags under the lights? Qualifing? Or the car show on Thursday, so members that want to show their clean car on Thursday, can drag or autoX the next two days. I mean this is a once a year event.
I personally love all three events and always tried to do at least two, but now you say, everyone has to pick just one. Its worth the cost of gas, food, hotel and $100 fees if you can do more than one thing, but not if its just one event.
I vote for a third day added to next years Fest, with Thursday as a full day of actual member events. Cause if its just pick one event, many members will forego the $100 cost plus hotel and pay Saturday morning for a one day event!
How about a over all Camaro5 fest grand winner trophy based on points earned in Drags, AutoX and Car show. The Camaro has always been known as a blue-collar guy/gal type of car. A every mans auto. Inexpensive enough to modify as you want. You don't have to be rich to be apart of this club. What better represents Chevrolet and the Camaro, than a car and it's owner that can do it on all levels? We have different class levels in drag. And not every level will be the fastest at AutoX and not every AutoX car will be fastest at drags. I mean, its one thing to build a fast Camaro with a ton of money and another to be a driver good enough to do it all and also be impressive enough at a car show. Isn't that what Chevrolet has been trying to do with the ZL1 and Z28? Lets ask Chevrolet or one of the larger sponsors to sponsor the judging of a overall Festival Champion with a huge trophy or better yet, with Chevrolet Parts mods from their catalogs or a gift certificate towards the future purchase of a New Camaro?
Wouldn't everyone show up and compete in all three for a chance like that?
Lets not think smaller by having to chose one event, but think growth of Camaro5 by thinking bigger with more days for a multi-event Festival!!!!!
No other event that I know of has ever done this. It would be great and pull in new members as well as pull old members back.
