October Events
October was a busy month. The first Saturday, October 3rd, the Club had its Fall Season Ending Cruise. We had a beautiful day driving toward Henderson taking in all of the beautiful fall colors. We had one sweet stop at Minnesota's Largest Candy Story in Jordan. On to Chaska for lunch at the Crooked Pint Ale House. A great end to our cruising season.
October 10th was our 14th Annual Dyno Days at St. Paul Automotive. The shop owner is also a club member. Ten members were able to see how much power their Camaro has at the rear tires on the shop's state-of-the-art equipment. Time to get some new mods!

Undercover Billionaire Buys High School Days 1969 Z/28 Camaro Back at Barrett
By John Gilbert | Posted On October 20, 2020
What were the odds Discovery's Undercover Billionaire, Glenn Stearns, would ever see the 1969 Camaro Z/28 he owned in high school again? It might sound a little corny to say a billion to one, but that's exactly what happened when Glenn and his friend, football great John Elway, flew to Barrett-Jackson's 2020 Scottsdale auction on Elway's private jet.

Chevrolet Camaro "Super Swan" Has All the Downforce
By Andrei Tutu | Posted On October 8, 2020
The current, sixth-generation Camaro is no stranger to track assets, since its range-topping ZL1 version, fitted with the 1LE package, managed to blitz the Nurburgring in 7:16.04 back in 2017. However, the virtual build presented in this rendering aims to deliver a circuit-savvy Camaro based on the "humbler" SS model.

The Yenko Camaro Is Back, and It's a 1,050 HP Brute
October 8, 2020, by Robert Ross
Beginning with the Camaro’s launch in 1967, Pennsylvania Chevrolet dealer and racer Don Yenko produced some of the most wicked versions of the model ever made. Because GM would not fit an engine larger than 400 ci into its new sports car, Yenko ordered SS Camaros from the factory, removed their engine and stuffed a 7-liter 427 ci V-8 under the hood. That’s how the Yenko legend was born. Yenko Chevys—Camaros, Chevelles and even Novas—were the most feared American muscle cars back then, and are among the most desirable ones from that era today.

Member and Planning Meetings
The Northstar Camaro Club meets the second and fourth Tuesday of every month.
Due to the pandemic, meetings are currently held on ZOOM. All members will
receive an email invitation from our Vice President with a link to attend the meetings.
Meetings begin at 7:30 pm.
(We will post here when meetings will return to our usual location at:
Davanni's Roseville, 1905 W Perimeter Dr, Roseville, MN)
The second Tuesday is a member meeting and the fourth Tuesday is a planning meeting. Members are welcome to attend both meetings. Topics include both old and new business, and there is usually a presentation or lively discussion relating
to our favorite subject - Camaro's! This is the place to exchange ideas and get to know fellow club members.
