Cougar Fest for Newbies
If you are thinking about going to CougarFest for the first time, then be sure you read this thread thoroughly and understand all of it before you do.
CougarFest is defiantly the most waited for event of the year for all cougar owners; it is a time to meet new people, and show off your cougar. Whether it is completely stock or heavily modified, that is irrelevant. CougarFest is a one of a kind weekend, it’s the only car meet you will ever be at where it isn’t about having the nicest ride in the lot, its about peers and having a good time. If you do not know anyone there, don’t be shy to introduce yourself and strike up a conversation with somebody. The only way to meet people is to speak up.
And lastly, the only way you will gain disrespect is if you are disrespectful to the hotel or other cougar owners. Rolling into the lot blaring music or burning out will not get you well liked. We all know the cougar can break traction, so there is no reason to be spinning tires in the parking lot.
Q&A
Q: But what if I don’t know anybody there?
A: It doesn’t matter at all. My first CougarFest, I went not knowing a soul, and left with tons of new friends and faces to all the screen names on the cougar forums.
Q: Can I follow anyone to CougarFest?
A: Absolutely, check your local cougar chapter; there are all kinds of caravans going to fest. And none of them will turn down another cougar to the line.
Q: Where can I find information on CougarFest?
A: www.CougarFest.com (http://www.CougarFest.com)
Q: How much money do I need?
A: Id be safe to bring anywhere from 200-500 dollars. I don’t know too many people that spend more then 500 dollars at CougarFest.
Q: What is there to do?
A: There is always something going on at CougarFest, between track day, show day, and dinners you will have no problem keeping busy.
Q: I'm nervous to go… I'm a little bit on the younger/older side and don't think I will quite fit in
A: Don't worry! Just like the forum, CougarFest is made up of girls and guys of all ages! No one discriminates based on age or sex, everyone accepts everyone equally.
-Things you should bring-
A 2-Way Walkie Talkie (used for communication during Cruises and Caravans)
Camera
Money
Lawn Chair or Folding Chair
Sunscreen
Tylenol, Advil, ect.
Swimsuit
Car Cleaning Stuff
Bug Spray
If you plan on Drag Racing, Tracks require pants, so be sure you have at least one pair of jeans.
Anything cougar related that you have to sell; there is lots of sales going on in the parking lots.
Anything you need installed on your cougar, anyone would be happy to help you install it
If the Hotel has internet capabilities then bringing a laptop is a good idea, to check the forums for events going on at CougarFest
If there is anything that wasn’t covered in this post, a simple PM to a CougarFest Veteran will solve your problems
See you at CougarFest!
