On Saturday, April 17th, club members met at TPiS, Total Performance, in Shakopee. We had a great time!
It was our first time getting to see an electronic hub off dyno. The turn-around time was fast.
Thanks to Jim, the owner, for showing us his facility. We had lunch afterward at Lion's Tap.

2018 Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE Nurburgring Record Car: Live Photo Galelry
By David Finlay April 24, 2021
We recently captured photos of a Chevy Camaro that resides at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. This particular Camaro ZL1 1LE is an important part of the muscle car’s history, even though it was built as recently as 2017. In June of that year, this very 2018 Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE Coupe was driven around the world-famous Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany by Camaro ride and handling engineer Bill Wise, who completed a lap in an astonishing 7 minutes 16.04 seconds. This was a new record for a Camaro, and nearly 14 seconds faster than the 7 minutes 29.60 seconds achieved the previous year in a Camaro ZL1 (without the 1LE track handling package). Go to the following website for the complete article: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/04/2018-chevy-camaro-zl1-1le-nurburgring-record-car-live-photo-gallery/

Barn Find 1974 Camaro Z28 Found After Being Locked Away Nearly 40 Years Ago
By Steven Rupp
April 23, 2021
The best part of barn finds, garage finds, field finds, and all the rest are the stories of how these cars and trucks came to be put aside and forgotten. Chad Ehrlich, of Nobody Else's Auto in Great Bend Kansas, searches the country for these forgotten automotive treasures and more than a few stories to share. This time it's a 1974 Z/28 Camaro that was set aside nearly 40 years ago. As Ehrlich told us, "Back in 1976, Jan Shank was looking for a new set of wheels. College was coming up and he needed good, reliable, transportation. Since his dad was a Chevy Dealer, a bow tie was the most obvious choice and being a young man heading off to school, he wanted something cool and sporty. A local guy had a fairly new Z/28 that came up for sale and that checked all the boxes, so that was what he picked up to drive! The car was originally sold new in Wichita, KS on August 26, 1974 at Thorobred Chevrolet. The original owner apparently only had the car a short time since it ended up in central Kansas with a different owner only 2 years later."

Chevy Says New Camaro Will Have 3-Cylinder Engine
By Michael Butler | Posted on 1 Apr 2021
Goodbye, four-cylinder.
The Chevrolet Camaro is one of the most beloved muscle cars in America, and despite a recent recall due to axle shafts possibly missing a retaining ring, and Chevrolet halting production at its Lansing Grand River Assembly plant in Michigan due to a shortage of semiconductor chips, this high-performance sports car continues to sell well. In an effort to stay relevant in a world that is moving towards hybrid and electric cars at a rapid pace, Chevrolet has now made a stunning announcement: as of 2022, some Camaro cars will be powered by high-performance turbocharged three-cylinder engines. Yes, that's correct. Only three cylinders.

World's Quickest Chevy Camaro Runs Five-Second Quarter-Mile
BY Ciprian Florea MAR 20, 2021
Chevrolet has built a bunch of impressive Camaros over the years, starting with the 1969 ZL-1. But the world's quickest Camaro is the work of Bailey Racing. It goes by the name "Sick Seconds" and runs the quarter-mile in just five seconds.
Well of course I'm not talking about a road-legal, plain looking Camaro. Tom Bailey's slingshot is a full-fledged dragster fitted with all the bells and whistles that come with such vehicles.

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.
