Sorry for the late reply - I was out of town for some training.

We actually didn't have a meeting this month. Instead we did a "Sponsor Cruise" this past Saturday. This is basically an all-day cruise where we run from one sponsor to another for a little visit. We all met from various locations at the Best Buy lot off 494 in Bloomington and cruised down to TPIS from there and then on to Donneybrooke in Wayzeta (sp) and then to Friendly Chev and finished up at Discount Tire in White Bear. It was an awesome time! Our sponsors really enjoy having us and it's a good opportunity to ask questions and check out stuff to blow money on .

Our next meeting will be the second weekend in August, the 9th, on Saturday at the normal 6:00pm time at the regular location as stated on our site. Feel free to stop by and check us out! We welcome all F-body enthusiasts !

We also are putting on our annual Performance Driving Experience up at Brainerd International Raceway on the 28th of July..... So if you are interested in running around the road course you should check it out!

Spearson, I think I have seen your car. We should try to meet at the local SCCA car show monday night at round lake and bunker. There is an area to park just west of the roped off area (same parking lot), we could meet there. There is often a few first gen guys there.

I was too busy getting my car ready for the track event we had this past Monday to make it out to car craft this year....

Maybe next year.... I do still show up down on University from time to time though...

Did you see our group 'display' (MNFBC)? We were right next to the Impala SS club's deal (we have some mutual members).

We live in Chaska, have a Black 91 TTOP Z, a Black 84 ttop coupe that I looking sell (77000 actual miles good condition great stereo) , a 93 LTI TTop Z (our sons), and a Custom 72 GMC. The pictures are of the engine in the GMC and a picture painted on the glove box of the GMC. I will post pictures of the Camaro's later. Also I am looking for a black hood for the 84 it has a GM fiberglass hood on it right now but it needs paint.
