Glad yall are working on it, I could see the connection at the fest. I'm gonna be bringing everything I got to the best fest. I prolly won't be running close to yall as I'm keeping it a NA no nitrous car, but I'd like to get better than fourth this time. But honestly fest has been the best part of my entire year. And one of the most fun things I've done in my life.

Fest and one other thing is what I am looking forward to next year. Fest is such an incredible experience.

Tricksta & Racergirl - I can only offer my advice on a long distance relationship. Can it work, yes, but it involves a lot more work than any other type of relationship. Me and Missy met on a business trip, I lived in NC, she lived in IN. We worked hard to make it work for 4 years, we are married (since 2000) and enjoying our life together. Working hard for me was writing letters, about 3-4 a week. Email is good, text is good, but a letter you can hold on too, and is more personal. I enjoyed writing those letters/cards, and she still has them. We saw each other about 4-5 times a year. If I couldn't go see her, I bought her a ticket to come see me. We continue to find new ways to enjoy our time together, the latest of course is the Camaro. And the number of new friends we have made through the local club, and CamaroFest is amazing. So that is a little about how we made it work. You guys may find different ways, but the commitment and dedication has to be pure, honest, and understanding. I love my girl, she is awesome and really works hard to make me happy, and in return, I do the same for her.

Linker, so glad you got to come to the fest, enjoy yourself, and see what it was all about. You have tasted the fun, embraced new friendships and will only keep growing from there. I was glad you were able to hang out with us and our group. Next time, you will have to stay at the Host hotel, thus a few beverages won't hurt so much (no driving). I look forward to seeing you again, and if you are ever my way (Indy), you have a place to stay and hang out.

Thanks Hank, I appreciate it, I had a blast and I hope to stay at the host hotel next time so I can. I just hope the next fest is close enough for me to attend.

Hank. You have no idea how much I appreciate your words of advice. I know this will be a challenge, but it'll be worth it. There are a few other factors that come in to play, but at the end of the day, I want and choose to be with Joey. He's everything I could ask for and more. I never thought I'd find someone just like me, but different at the same time. And for that, I'm grateful. And our love for cars is a bonus.

Sheesh all of these feels flying around here. Definitely making it to the Fest next year as I gotta meet everyone. I'm sure you two (racergirl and tricksta) will make it work. You two seem determined to make it work and that's fantastic.














And potentially beat racergirl.

I almost feel as though this could be cheating . Besides I'd rather see that 6 banger of yours bust into the 11's. MagnumforceGB did it already it seems.

I'd need every bolt on and a 125 shot to do that.

You could always throw boost at it and use a 75-100 shot to improve the 60' times.

Thanks for the words of advice Hank! Great to hear such a positive outcome coming from you and your experience with a long distance relationship. Missy and yourself are amazing people! The parking lot shenanigans were one of the best parts of fest! Looking forward to it next year! Victoria and I will get it figured out, of that I am sure! There is nothing I wouldn't do.

You're everything I could ask for and more! The fact of how much we are alike but yet how different we are is amazing. And yes the love for cars is a huge bonus.

And potentially beat racergirl.

We will make it work! Thanks for the support man! But you won't beat Victoria.
