Our first car show at Turbo Tim's was a great success. Even the weather cooperated. We had 91 cars on display. We had a few extra vendors joining the day's activities--an ice cream motorcycle, a mom-daughter duo selling pet treats, and a game van for the kiddos (some parents too). All this made for a great show. Many thanks to Tim and Kevin and their crew who sponsored the show and moved cars to make room for us. We look forward to next year.
We held our Summer Banquet on August 1st at a new venue, the St. Croix Valley Train in Osceola, WI. We had 40 members attend. It was a nice 90-minute ride along the valley with a box lunch and time to visit and tour other rail cars. It was a nice relaxing trip.
The engine changing ends of the train to pull us back to the station.
July 17-19 we were at the Street Machine Nationals, parking in our usual spot on Underwood. Pretty sure the heat and air quality kept a few people away, but overall it was a good show. Especially if you had a nice shady spot to sit and watch the parade of cool cars drive by.
A trip down Camaro Alley, with the addition of one overheated Chevy truck that stopped to cool down.
Our first car show of the season started off with a bang on a hot, hot day. Our 25th Anniversary with Cornerstone Chevrolet Stillwater! We had 116 participant cars on display. It was a great start to our car season. We even had the MSRA Safety team doing car inspections. Many thanks to all our volunteers and our 25 year Sponsor, Cornerstone Chevrolet, who made this show possible.
We had the best ever weather day for our Season Opening Cruise. Twenty-two Camaros cruised from Prior Lake to Albert Lea. The pavilion on Fountain Lake had a wonderful view of the lake. After a tasty lunch we had our traditional give-aways. All around it was a great day!
Thanks to Jeff C. we had a great tour at North Speed and Restoration in East Bethel on Saturday April 18th. We had 20 club members attend. The owner, Ron Hinshaw, gave us a personal tour and answered lots of questions from our group. Afterwards we headed our for lunch at Route 65 Pub & Grub.
On April 11-12th we were at the 68th Annual GSTA Rod & Custom Car Show at Canterbury Park Expo Center. We were lucky enough to have three Camaros there. It was a wonderful weekend with loads of spectators perusing great vehicles.

From Order Form To Outlaw, This COPO Camaro Broke Rules And Records Alike
By Chris McElmeel August 18, 2025
There’s nothing fun about filling out paperwork, but in the late ’60s, the right box checked in GM’s Central Office Production Order system could turn a run-of-the-mill Chevy Camaro into something much faster and rarer. Normally, that COPO pipeline was used to crank out taxicabs and fleet trucks, but in 1969, a handful of savvy dealers and racers slipped a monster 427 into Chevy’s pony car under the radar. The result was the COPO Camaro, and this one, nichnamed Tin Soldier, is rarer than a clean mullet in a Metallica mosh pit.

The Chevrolet Camaro has always been one of America’s most popular performance cars. Who doesn’t love legendary small-block power in an attractive platform that, for much of its fifty-plus years, had serious track capability? That said, only recently have builders and collectors realized the true potential and desirability of the second-generation ‘panther’....

By Tomás Aguirre June 02, 2025
