Plenty of E85 in Socal, Vegas and Phx

I believe Vegas and Phx have select 93 in some stations

Yea it’s too late for me...vacations are already awarded for next year...hopefully it is in the 2nd or 3 rd week of June otherwise I can’t go

This is something that should be taken into consideration when planning these events because for example I work for the railroad and my days off are Thursday Friday so it’s not feasible for me to take a weekend off because essentially I would lose almost a whole week of work without pay, which isn’t cool supporting a family. When you work for large companies/corporations that have people on vacation every week of the year based on seniority you need to get your vacations in by the first of the December because obviously people are awarded and starting vacation January 1


The hot rod power tour is the same way...although I think the dates are finalized but the route is still a mystery so it’s a guessing game for people that have to bid for their vacation if they Want to go or not. It would not be practical for somebody on the East Coast that only has a week off and have to go all the way to the West Coast for the power tour so it would be a waste of vacation if they bid that and that’s the way the power tour worked out

It would be nice to lock in the dates and at least a general area of the event the prior year so people could bid for their vacation

We really do try to accommodate this. Sometimes its tough with different venues, because they don't open their schedules until such-and-such a date...others take a while to return calls/emails. And THEN...we've got to wait in some cases for the contracts to be drafted, sent, signed, and then approved. A process that at one venue in the past took over a month.

But we do realize the realities of vacation time - and we're very fortunate that people like you are willing to spend the time with us and all your Camaro friends at Camaro Fest. So for that, thank you!

It doesn't seem to do you any good, what with vacation time and all, but I wanted to share we're....REALLY....REALLYREALLY Close.

Ha ha, I do consulting work and I am semi retired.
My vacation time is when I want it and for as long as I want.
My current vacation began mid May of this year.

Kinda nice isn't it. I retired on March 30th of this year from the commercial nuclear power industry and I don't miss it one bit.
Something to be said for doing what you want when you want not that I'm rubbing this in at all.
