08 Camaro Superfest
 

Went to the 08 Camaro Superfest today here in Michigan. Not bad, about 220 cars. Here's a couple pics I took. Funny story about the day. I went to the awards and was waiting for my class to be called and nothin! The guy that was parked next to me was as dumbfounded as me. Not to be a jerk, but I should have at least placed. There was a tie for third for Gods sake. Here I am thinking, ok whatever, and go back to the car and start getting ready to go. I could still here all the other classes and then they got to the special awards. They call me for best paint, so I go up to get the award and just as I was walking away they called me again for Participant's choice. Again, as I started to walk back to the car, my curiousity got the best of me, so I asked the lady working the table if she could check my class and see where I actually placed. I figured, how could I get these and not even place in my class?? I usually don't ever really care about this stuff, it was just a little strange, especially knowing what the competition was. Not to take anything away from them, but I think I have a little bit of an eye for this stuff. Well, needless to say, when I saw the look on her face after looking at my judging sheet, that said it all. She said someone mis-calculated my points and I was actually first. She gave me another plack and said she would send me the plate that goes on it, rather than call everyone back. Anyway, thought that was pretty funny. The guy that thought he won actually came over to me at the end and said he couldn't believe that I didn't win, and I hated telling him, but he was cool about it. Besides they let him keep the plack they gave him, so all is well.

couple more

couple more. Check out the new G8 with a Pro-charger! 480rwhp! very cool.

Congrats! Good story too.

Who's second gen is that? Love the color on that car! :thumbsup:

Congrats on the plaque. I remeber when we would put on a show every year people would always accuse use not knowing how to judge. So we made peoples choice and for a buck a vote sheet you could go around and judge cars that fixed most of are problems just one point is way easier than ten for eight for that and so on. Sorry getting off my soap box again congrats and looked like it was a great day for a show.:thumbsup:

Congrats, Jeff. Good story. :cheers:

Your car is definetly on our "shoot list" but we we've been busy shooting another members car :)

Do you know the guy that owns that second gen?

I talked to Rob last week about shooting it. We are both going to be in Columbus, so we may be able to do it there??? If not, then anytime after that, I'm pretty open. There's another one of your competitors that wants to shoot it down there also, so we'll see what happens. The cars have to stay in the Pro's Pick area pretty much for the duration, so I don't know if we'll get anything accomplished.:willy: Have to wait and see.

I talked to the guy with the 70 for a few minutes. It's a very nice car(640hp!), but I never got any of his info. I'm sure you could track him down through the club's contact info. Here's a link http://www.camarosuperfest.com/

Who else wants to shoot it? In any event we'll do it better and most likely give it more pages.. ;)

Thanks for the lead on the 2nd gen, nice car.

Jeff, I would like to meet and see your car in Columbus.

Super Rod has been trying to line something up since Autorama in March, but the photographer has been out of town almost everyday since.

I like more pages. I also like covers hmmmm:unibrow:
By the way, are you going to Columbus?

Ditto, I can't wait to see your "driver". Looks like an awesome car. Will you be there Friday for the autocross? Hey, while I was typing, Scott called me with your number. I'll be getting in pretty late Thursday night, so I'll call you Friday morning when we're heading to the show.:thumbsup:

Cool. yeah I'll be there Thur. and Friday. Looking forward to meeting you and checking out your beautiful car.

Just tell them that you have a commitment with Camaro Performers. We'll do the car justice.:thumbsup:

Personally, I like the idea of both.:D Come find me and we'll get it done!:thumbsup: You gonna make it down in time for the autocross? That could make for some cool action shots!

I'm certainly going to try. I trying to leave by 4:30am 5 at the latest.

Jeff if these guys don't work out give me a call. I have a Polaroid Instamatic that takes some pretty cool pics and you'll get them right away too. They pop out this little slot on the front of the camara. Amazing technology.

Man when I think of Polaroids i think of my X-Girlfriend. But that's already to much information to share.

PS - Jeff have fun with your car. I've seen it in person it's stunning.:bow:

Alright Tony, they're out, you're in. When can you start? Do you think you could put them all in a book for me too?:lol:

Thanks, I will! Already have actually. Where did you see the car, where was I?

Detroit Autorama

Did I talk to you? I talked to so many people, I can't remember.:willy: If not, stop by in Columbus.:thumbsup:

Jeff with any luck we might be able to get them into the prestigous Cruis'news. But with no fuzzy dice and a lack of car props it's going to be a tall order. :D

Congrats on getting nominated, Jeff. You're a deserving guy, I'll be pulling for ya. I wish I could go but we recently had a small tragedy in our family. My sister-in-law's house caught on fire Sunday night and practically burned to the gound. Everyone is OK but I've volunteered to help move all the stuff out that survived into a storage unit and over to our house. Firefighters said it was faulty wiring by the house's builder. They had good smoke detectors and that's what saved their lives. Something everyone should keep in mind; make sure your smoke detectors are all working properly at all times.

Good luck down there.

LOL - Nope I was in Picture taking mode and couldn't be stopped.

Sorry to here that. Was it on the news? I thought I saw something the other day about a house that burned, but everyone got out. I can't remember the details. Hope everything works out. I can't imagine, that's gotta be tough.

I don't think I've officially been nominated. I think anyone can enter, but once everyone's down there they pick the top 5 or top 12 or something like that. I've got an open mind, but not a lot of expectations being up against $4 and $500K cars! We'll see, it'll be interesting. I'm, so far, one of only a couple that aren't from custom shops. I'll have to make a statement in the autocross!:drive:

Yeah as a matter of fact it was on Fox 2 News Sunday night. I think it was the 10pm telecast. They live in my town (Chesterfield). I was over there today helping to get some boxes out of the basement and part of the bedroom floor suddenly caved in. We all scurried up the stairs like a pack of squirrels. I thought my friggin heart was going to explode it was beating so fast. LOL!!! Needless to say I won't be going back in there. Screw the stuff in the basement.

Again....everyone check your smoke detectors.
