I didn't have time to adjust the color on 'em but I still think they came out nice. There was a good amount of cars there, some that I wasn't able to catch on my camera cause of be so talkative, hahahaha. The weather definitely was a factor preventing others from coming out cause of the bad winds and rain from the day before, with reports of the same occurring that day and also it was an easy 50 degrees out at that time. I will most surely go to next months', so hopefully a few more of us can do this and represent Camaro5.

There's a few that go out to the strip like Jason, Chalo, Micheal, and the old El Paso Muscle group. We haven't gone out as a group in quite a while, and I know that a few of you have heard me say this before but we are looking into doing a group event out there for a Friday or Saturday soon.

I saw your setup on your 2011 and I would really like to see it action. Especially to listen to your Borla ATAK system as that's what I am looking into putting in my 2010 SS.

Mid-Month Camaro Gathering
Saturday, March 16th, 2013
Farley's at Las Cruces, NM
3PM

Just about every 2nd Saturday of the month, Camaro5 and other owners of Camaros, and even Corvettes, gather at Farley's in Las Cruces to talk shop, see each other's cars and have some good food. Farley's blocks off parking for us to use so no outside mini vans, grandma Cadillacs, or wide SUVs park next to us and possibly do some harm to the cars, you know what I am talking about. We get the patio and enjoy the day. Afterwards we will all cruise to Caliche's out on Valley for some Ice Cream and more chillaxin.

Everyone that wishes to attend this event MUST contact myself(char1ieone) or Genny (Lil_One) and notify if you will joing us so we can have a space saved for you because sometimes we will have 16 spots reserved and have an additional 10 Camaros show up without them to park.

2013 Wheels of Dreams Car Show
Saturday, March 23rd, 2013
Field of Dreams Football Field at Las Cruces, NM

The Wheels f Dreams Car Show has been put together and hosted by The Las Cruces Rodrunners and every year it just keeps getting bigger. Pat (SSRS2010), one of our members here with Camaro5 EP/LC, is president of the Roadrunners and has been in charge of the show for quite a while, and it's such a spectacle to see, if you haven't done so already. I think it would be great for us to finally be a part of this event, not only to represent the only Camaro Club in the area, but to also help in bringing awareness and proceeds to youth organizations and charities throughout the surrounding area. Pre-Registration is $25 before the show and $35 the day of. Awards will be presented for the event, and vendors are available for food and such.

It would be great if we could get a good amount of us together at the beginning to park all together as a group and showcase not only the 5th Gens, but if any of us have prior generation Camaros, to bring those out to show our enthusiasm for everything Camaro. I'm only using this as an example, but imagine, Pedro bringing his ZL1, Louis his 1LE, Daniel bringing his TF Edition, Eric both the '68 and matching '10, Don and Genny showcasing the vibrant colors, Mike with The 2010 Beast and his Blue 1st Gen, PJ with his '78 Z28, Chris and his 35th Anniversary, etc. I am talking with Pat to see what our limitations are or may be with setup and displays, but I think that it would be great to have 2 canopies for us to relax under and have the cars next to us on both side and the back.

I have provided the flyer and registration on the bottom, so take a look at it and let me know if you would be interested in joing me for this event. The sooner we plan for this, the better our setup can be and the more the day will bring. I will also set up dinner arrangements for us to eat at when the event is over. So what do you say folks?!

DeansList.US Track Day
Friday, March 29th, 2013
Aroyo Seco in Akela Flats, NM (close to Deming)

The event is a track day out at Aroyo Seco near Deming, NM. It costs $100 to partake in the event, but with the $100 purchase you will get a FREE members hip to the organization where the next track day events will only run you $40. You will see and drive alongside of Ferarris, Porsches, Mustangs and such. The event begins at 9am, and I would highly suggest that anyone that is looking into this to report at 8:30am just to be safe. Lunch will be provided by the event organizers and you will run in groups based on your class. This sounds like a great thing to be a part of, especially if you are looking into getting into track racing or exhibitions.

If u were there on any of the test and tunes nights from last summer to last winter (2012), You probably had seen my setup. Super addicted and go every friday. I'm currently deployed right now and hopefully will be running at the track again in september upon my return.

[LIL_ONE]

Replacement rim should be here soon! Finally! Bravo didn't even try to dispute the fact that they never checked them. Other guy's insurance didn't fight it either. So yay for a new rim so I can cruise on the highway again!!

Medi0cr3 - my husband took ours down there but that was back in 2010/11. He's been overseas the last year so I haven't taken it down there (which is good since the rim is bent from the wreck). But we were just burning through tires too quickly between there and Albuquerque track days lol.

I went a few times, but was only able to hit the stock performance times. When/If I ever get my upgrades, then I will hit the track to see what I can pull out in terms of HP. Keep us posted when you return and we'll all head out.

What performance garage do you guys use???

I don't think anyone on here is using any local shops. I know I have done all of my upgrades myself in my garage or the auto hobby shop on base. Right now I think there is only one with major upgrades, everyone else is standard bolt ons (cai, Exhaust, wheels/tires ect.) of course I could be wrong too!

[LIL_ONE]

We're the same, either we've done it at home or on base at the garage bc of the lift. None of our upgrades were done by a shop. Ivan from Abq pretty much helps most of the group up there with their upgrades. They hang out at his house until the early morning hours to get stuff done. We've done some lighting work with him in the car but none of the performance stuff.
