I had a blast at Camaro Fest. this was my first one so I don't have one to compare it to. A big shout out to the people that volunteered their time at Beech Bend! I bought a couple of things from vendors. I have to say the people at the GM tent and the vendors were all very nice people!
Hammdo it was great meeting you at the parking lot. your car is amazing and now I have new ideas for my car lol. Everyone's Camaro was great. so many! and not one was like the other! was great seeing them all. I felt sorry to the people that had to judge the car show on Saturday. Oh and I got to meet Al and he signed my Camaro!

I want to thank Ted from Jannetty Racing for helping me out when I punctured a tire on the CamaroCross. When I'm ready to get my tune, I'll be ordering from you!

My mind is still in Bowling Green I don't think it came back yet. After 3 days of the parking lot party it feels like there will be another one tonight but then I realize they're won't one. Only down side on having a lot of fun.

I'm right there with you on this.

Yeah I'm still I'm Bowling Green. I had a blast, it was my fist fest. I enjoyed running with racergirl and tricksta. They are both awesome, racergirl can really drive. If you ever get to meet hrpiii he's a a real cool guy, even if he can sling me around like a baseball bat. Maybe next year I can stay at the host hotel and have a few drinks with everybody. I was extremely happy with how the car ran. Ending up 4th with the top 3 running nitrous is good enough for me. Thank you to all the mods and people who made this possible. This was some of the most fun I've ever had.

Jordan, it was so much fun hanging out with you. You're a fun person to be around. Can't wait to see you next year!

First off, Kudos to the Volunteers of c5 and Darby City CC for the Parking Lot Bar That was a GREAT IDEA....

1. The Cost - $20 is simply no where enough for an event of this magnitude. 90% of local shows (NY/NJ/PA) are $20 pre registration (Weeks/Months in advance) and $25 the Day of. C5 fest a 2 day event with Vendors that offer priceless amounts of information. The ability to see and compare over 1000 cars. This is a NATIONAL show...
Each Event/Activity should have been broken up -
Camaro Cross - $75
Drag Racing - $75
Access to Vendor Alley - $60
Adams Show and Shine Car Show- $25
Spectators - $20
Then Some sort of discounts or all day all access pass.

There are 3 types of Fest participants
- Shoppers
- Racers
- Spectators

2. Vendors I can't say this enough ONSITE INSTALLATION. understanding that your there to turn a profit. Bring only products that are quick and easy to install.

AAC Oracle has hundreds of products but they were smart only sold products that were quick to install, side markers, footwell lighting and both days of the events there were customer lined up all day

Jannetty sold and INSTALLED headers...... 3 or 4 installers there doing an EXCELLENT job, because of this they to had to turn customers away.

ACS - Once again Sold and Installed a few easy to Install products and all day there were lines

Phastek - Great Raffle and Great Customer Information many small products, yet there tint was 1/2 the size as it was last year and no installs on there products. I got a great deal on lowering Springs

RotoFab - GREAT Booth, Great Service, Great Products to sell at this type of event, 4 guys had intakes Installed. I purchased a Filter couple other guys purchased fuse box covers

Adams - Another Great Booth, Great Information and Product testing - I spent over $200

CAI - looked for to compare with Rotofab, yet I didn't see there booth not sure if they were there?

Third Shift Studios - Were they there?

Borla - Had a Table with some misc pasts...most of the time no one was present No Installs

Night Owl - Love there products have spent thousands of dollars with them, there booth was nice but nothing was for sale and they weren't doing any installs from what I was told, granted I did not speak with Joe himself there was a woman and a couple of teenagers there most of the time we visited the booth 2 times.

Gen5 DIY - I saw a Truck with a Gen5 DIy sticker - No table, No products a few members asked me about them numerous times not sure what the situation was

Over all it was a GREAT few days Yet many of came with thousands of dollars to spend and went home with most of our cash... TachDout will defiantly be supporting for years to come. As with all things with time things get better. Cant wait till next year.

cadyshac · 08-10-2015, 05:45 PM

We dropped a pile of cash with ACS and very happy with the product. Also purchased from Night Owl and Third Shift Studios, yes they were there. Sorry Adams, I ran out of money and time before I could make it to your booth. I wanted to talk to Ted Jannetty but never did see him and just didn't seem to have time to do everything I had planned.

Adam's Polishes · 08-10-2015, 06:06 PM

We had a blast again this year... vendor turnout was lower than years past, but didn't stop us from having a great time! Its always a blast to put faces to names and see guys and gals I only see at the fest each year. Being in a new part of the country it was nice to meet some other members in person finally too.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello and sorry we sold out of so much stuff. We had a LARGE pallet delivered Thursday and all the was left barely filled up the back of a small SUV. You guys spent more with us this year than any year before so that says something! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR BUSINESS! Anyone who missed out on product or didn't make it to our booth on time we're extending the sale price. Use the code CFEST for show pricing and free shipping on anything you need.

CamaroFest is always a good time no matter where its hosted, you can certainly count us in again for next year, wherever it ends up.

Thank you, thank you, as you can see from my post above I missed you at the fest. I will be ordering a couple of things ASAP!

Ace0751 · 08-10-2015, 06:28 PM
