We've tried a few times but it's been a bit of a challenge trying to get dates together that work for the majority, and also trying to get cars on the road and out of the project stage
Are you thinking of Santa Pod?

So I read about national corvette day and mustang days, when are we going to organise a uk Camaro round up or similar, we have the best drag strip in Europe right on our doorstep as well! |

Santa pod has plenty of facilities , maybe we could piggyback onto a RWYB day first off? There is no shortage of camaros in the UK so surely it can't be that difficult to get a reasonable turnout? |

We had a about a dozen or so at the recent American Speedfest in June at Brands Hatch, and as far as I know they all had a great day.. !!!  Pod gathering would be possible if you fancy putting it out there... |

I don't know about you guys, but i've found that most Camaro owners (not on this forum) tend to stick to themselves. It's strange.. the Mustang guys love a good get together. Are Camaro's the introverts of the muscle cars?   Santa Pod would be a good venue, it's a lot more central... while American Speedfest is an excellent event and i can't wait to go again... the only downside is that it's in the corner of the country. Being in the midlands, i reckon the catchment area for SP is larger and we can see a better turnout? Does anyone have any contacts for organisers there? Even as you say, piggybacking on an existing event would be a good start. |

I used to run a rocket car there about ten years ago but don't have any contact details any longer , pod is very central and I could rustle up a 1st , 3rd and 4th gen to come along and play :-) |

The Mustang and Corvette clubs are both well established and have large groups of active members , but the Classic Camaro Club is only established online and has fewer members and no area reps or regular meets so it will be a struggle to get things moving . Also some of us are still at the project stage with our cars . Best bet would be to arrange a proposed national meet at one or two of the bigger existing events ( Mopar Nats ) and give lots of advanced notice to try to get some support from members . The Brands meet was excellent and could be the start of things to come if people want to make the effort and enjoy driving their cars ... I hope to be on the road next year and will be aiming to do as many meets and events as I can , weather permitting . |

Tagging into the mopars sounds like a good idea, there will always be folk with projects in garages so I don't think we should let that influence things too much? |

Hi guys, I totally agree with your comments, Mustang & Corvette are very well established and organised. This year I've been south and north west showing my car. At stars n stripes in Cheshire there was around 60 mustangs celebrating 50th anniversary. There was a lot of Camaros but had nothing to do with this forum. Even though it's hard to organise im going to try and get a meet every month somewhere in the Midlands and not just for camaros. |

I'm sure we could get interest if we all posted details on other forums we frequent ? If we looked at next summer that's quite some time to get people aware and interested, there must be a huge number of camaros in the uk and we don't need em all. I could get it put up on eurodragster easily enough and maybe we could do a webpage about it and link it to this forum? A flyer about it on the site that people could easily print and take to cruises etc? I can feel a plan coming on ...... |
