This was the BEST Nationals ever!!
For those who were unable to attend the 2011 Camaro Nationals you really missed a good one!Not that the earlier ones were bad by any means,but the facilities puts Carlisle to shame.
Was great to see old friends and make some new ones!Had a great time and would like to thank all the wonderful ladies for keeping us well fed and somewhat under control!LOL!

Great turn out. About perfect weather. Location was beyond exceptional, and the ACA & MCC put on a very organized and well run show. They have set the bar very high, but I have no doubt that future shows will even better!

EXCELLENT SHOW. Excellent weather, excellent people, excellent everything.
5 thumbs up and ditto on everything said above.
We made it home. around 10PM.
Julian is sitting upstairs on my couch. Mr. Stokkeland delivered him 30 minutes before we got in. He's been entertaining Kyle in the meantime.
The sidepipes are safely in the garage. I can go relax now.
As usual, I had an excellent time. This event caters to the attendee's. So it will be what we wish to make of it.
I'm going to get caught up with the board, mail, etc... I'll try and dump pictures and/or write a more informative review later. Unfortunantly, I wasn't able to video tape or photograph many of the cars with all the other stuff I was doing. I'm sure everyone else got plenty of photos.
Now that Julian is in the south, we're going to expose him to some hillbilly culture, so we'll be out & about continuing with the fun.

I stopped on my way out of the fairgrounds and complimented April and the club for an extremely well-run event.
It was a great show!!!! But... I'm not done yet.
Cal and I are holed up in Davenport, IA for the night. We should be home tomorrow afternoon.
We put 1000 miles on the Camaro today!  |

I just got home (midnight) after flying non stop from Baltimore............
As everybody above said, the show was exceptional.
To all the fence sitters who decided to stay home...I'm sure most of you will
find a way to change your priorities next year............ya think!!!!!!!!!!

A great show, well run and organized. Loved talking with the owner of the 67 with less than 10,000 miles on it...a super story.
Loved the location.....but that's mainly because, unlike many of you, I only live 45 minutes away.
I was surprised at how few third gens were in attendance.....had to have been less than 10% of the total.
This show could be a great case study for other organizations looking to get out from under Carlisle's thumb.
The only negative for me is I wish there had been more parts vendors.

As everyone has mentioned.. Carlisle was good.. Frederick was friggin' awesome!
Many, many thanks to everyone involved in putting on one of the most organized and well thought out shows I have ever attended...
I am already looking forward to next year.

After reading my first post it sounded like the previous shows weren't very good.That wasn't my intent at all.Karl and Rick always put on a great show and if it wasn't for them,this show would have died a long time ago!
What I was trying to say was that the change of venue really put a spark back in the show for me and I think most of the attendees.We have been attending this show since the very begining and have watched it grow over the years.Even watching the children of the group grow into young adults and have become good friends over the years,kinda heart warming!
Still had a great time,but that 4AM stuff has got to stop!Right Cal?

Had a good time. Couple changes I would recommend, move the registration right up by the front gate entrance, and give an area for folks to park while they register, and allocate larger parking areas for the classes. It would have been nice to be able to park with the other 2nd gens, but Shane and I both ended up having to park on the opposite side of the vendors
