Thanks to the efforts of Camaro5 members Nazz, Scrmim Mimi, Tusk and many, many others, (25) 5th Gen and (2) 3rd Gen Camaros kicked off the new year with an awesome meet & greet and cruise along the white sands of Pensacola and Navarre beaches (enjoying our Florida snow!) We’ve heard of some groups out there that are starting to “burn out” on get togethers, but we are still going strong and growing bigger and better everytime, so feel free to join our group if yours is fizzling out!!!

It appears that the 2011 Camaro will serve as the pace car for the 2011 Daytona 500 race, wrestling back the spot from the Mustang, which was last year’s Daytona 500 pace car.
