I think the best we did was 12 last year when the Montreal gang came down. Nobody has any time to get together this year. :(

[RickRay]

I'll try to get the gang together soon. Don't know when but I will. It's about 2 hrs for the most of us.

What a coincidence. I just exchanged emails with Graham about "Feature Nights" at the track.

Here is the text:

HI RICK>>>>>>>>>>>>Very impressive photo!!!.............We would like to
have your Camaro group for a feature night........Give me a week or two
advance notice and we will make it happen..........You could use the area in
front of the dining room between the building and the racetrack OR we could
set aside an area in the main Cruise Night site up top, whichever you
prefer............We had a Camaro group approx. 12-16 cars from the Montreal
,Cornwall ,Kingston region show up last year and gave them a separate area
to park together.....Keep me posted............Cheers Graham. PS We have a
"live band" booked for Aug 3rd (weather permitting). Even if you want to
attend before your group night, it should be fun......They played last year
as well.

Rick, I thought we were thinking the 17th? I sent you a PM about it yesterday. I still have to request the "Feature Night" thing to the organizers so I was trying to confirm with you the date we tentatively agreed on.

[gramps_green_rs]

doug

[Hylton]

Let me know when you are locking up the date and I'll get a hold of a few Ottawa 5th gens....Try and get the spot in front of the dinning room (cool spot).

[sugar'n'spice]

OOOhh I would love to go again..it was a lot of fun last year !

[luvmy88]

I won a door prize tonight! A book about mustangs
was 3 other 5th gens there, a red 1lt, orange 2ss and a yellow 2ss. didn't see the owners though.
