I am so excited. My boss gave me two weeks off and said this was one of the coolest things she's heard of. I'll be avoiding major interstates and plan on taking county highways and such from Tampa to Bowling Green, just to see parts of America I've never seen before. Getting there in time on Thursday for the Rodgers Chevy Meet n' Greet, enjoying the festivities Friday and Saturday, staying and participating in the Sunday cruise, then leaving Monday to spend a couple of days driving the Tail of the Dragon before heading back to Florida. Should be one epic road trip.

Thank you to those that are putting this event together and to the awesome Camaro community for supporting such events

Sounds like fun and I'd love to go but that's a 15 hour drive back and forth for me. What's the plan in case it rains?

That sounds absolutely perfect. I'll be doing something similar. There's nothing quite like a good road trip. Seeing new things.

I have found more "new roads" in the past 6 months I've owned a Camaro simply because I like going out for drives. I have Apple Maps avoid highways and tolls just to see something different. Makes the drive part of the experience and not a chore.

Beech Bend is a great drag strip only a couple hours from my home. Beech Bend hosts the Holley LS Fest in Sept each year and I've been to 5 of those. I will definitely make this Camaro Fest!!!

I will look forward to seeing some turbo 4s running the strip. I bet some of them beat some of the SSs!
