Maybe that’s what family vacations are for....
From the looks of things these past few days with the hotels selling out so quickly it’s obvious CF8 is going to be the biggest yet. And that just doesn’t happen because Camaro enthusiasts want to take a road trip to a new venue. Mr Wyndham, mlee and their group have put in a HUGE amount of work to make CamaroFest a reality, and I appreciate their efforts tremendously. And asking them to put in all of that work again just to have a change of scenery is a bit much. LS Fest is a great example of how a car show/event should work - and they successfully have it at the same location each year. Now they’ve added a second location in Las Vegas to accommodate those on the left coast, and that may be something that can happen in the future. Anybody in that area willing to take on that huge responsibility? I’m sure Wyndham and mlee could give you some great pointers on how to make it successful.....  |
Big thanks to everyone who put this together. It’s a lot of volunteers who do the organization of this event all on their own time. They have found what is working and do what they can with it.
I don’t see why folks on the west side couldn’t find out what these volunteers do and organize one. It may become just like LS Fest!
Vegas?
If they settled on a location and time of year, planning becomes easier, people’s vacation planning is predictable, and those who have to put their vacations in can plan this event — that is a big win...
I personally go for the fun of seeing everyone and all the Camaros (well NCM is another very good reason too ;o)
