JUNE 2014
June! What in the world happened
to SPRING? We go from WINTER to a
few days of Spring and then we are
into Summer? Gotta love Mother
Nature, lol. Camaro Superfest is
FAST approaching so it may be a
good idea to contact Barry to get
your name on the volunteer sheet
to help out. THIS is OUR event and
we need ALL the help we can get
for it! The more help we have the
less it is for everyone that
works! This year the 4th of July
falls on a Friday so I am closing
my store for the weekend to be
able to be there ALL weekend!
Can't wait!
Sorry I missed the last meeting,
was looking forward to seeing
Rob's NEW shop but will catch up
to you all at June’s meeting, see
you there!
Sincerely, Randy "Doc" Martin

Our CHARITY is the MULTIPLE

Like last year, this is an EMCC
member request from Chuck and
Roxanne England.
Our 2014 theme is Camaro Unsung
Heros, the 4 and 6 cyl powered
Camaros! We’ll have special
judging classes for these cars.
NEW! –for EMCC members only...

judging. We have also added FREE
cruise to Lingenfelter on Saturday
night – no $10 fee for EMCC
members working the event!! You
are still on your own for food.
(those that paid will be refunded)
Hope that helps in getting you to
sign-on for a few jobs.
REMEMBER – none of the jobs are
difficult!! We can all do any of
them with about 2 minutes of
training! WE NEED YOU PLEASE!!!
SPECIAL NEED – we have one EMCC
member to be at Riverside Park on
Friday, during the day to assist
in the set-up of our vendors,
tents, port-a-jons. We could maybe
use another!?
Here is the event scheduleThursday, July 3, goodie bag stuffing

from 7am-9am; leaving for MIS at

The WORK SHEET!! Barry has the
official work sheet and it needs
to start filling up FAST! If you
can’t make a meeting, CALL or
email Barry to volunteer for a job
or two. EMCC members need to work
at least 8 hours to qualify for
FREE entry into the show.
Otherwise, you must PAY the
regular admission price! None of
the jobs are hard!! The more the
merrier and the more that do, the
less work for all! Please make a
note of what you have signed on
for. Please be early to your
assignment and shift! An email
will be sent (we’ll try to
remember to do this) which will
remind you of your assignment.
Thanks for your help! Let’s look
at the jobs and their duties- what
each entailsGOODIE BAG STUFFING- this is done
at the HQ hotel on Thursday
afternoon-evening. We start at
Barry’s at 2pm to load-up all the
donations, then head to the
Marriott. There we set everything
out on tables and stuff the bags
assembly line fashion. We’ll be
doing 550 bags, which should take
about 4-5 hours. If you are not
available at 2pm, meet at the
hotel at 4pm, or as soon as
possible.
REGISTRATION, is where car owners
come to enter their cars. This is
at HQ hotel on Thursday-Friday,
moves to park Saturday/Sunday.
Paperwork job, handing out goodie
bags and answering questions.
SPECTATOR GATE (at lower park
entrance), is where people come in
to view our event. We need to keep
track of numbers and spectators
are FREE, but we are requesting
donations for our charity –
whatever they wish to give!
TRAFFIC-GATE (at street level),
The park has limited parking
outside of the official entry
gate, so traffic direction is
necessary. Also directing
participants, vendors, etc.
PARKING-TRUCKS-TRAILERS, This is
toward the back (south) end of the
park, trying to keep truckstrailers from getting into soft
grass and directing them to good
spots. May also watch south park
entrance and collect donations
from anyone entering that way.
EVENT HQ, this is big on
answering questions, selling event
t-shirts and helping with Silent
Auctions.
SILENT AUCTIONS, Tom is heading
these up, but needs help putting
items out and collecting money
when finished. WE NEED DONATIONS!
SECURITY, everyone is on
security detail at all times!
There is NO alcohol and NO PETS
allowed on the Park property. This
is the biggest items to watch for.
Basically, security is making sure
that someone is not doing
something stupid and causing
problems for others.
JUDGING SHEETS, this is addingup the judging sheets from the
judges, recording the results on
the proper class page and filing
the sheets in a folder.
I think that covers everything we
can think of concerning jobs. See,
nothing so awful hard about any of
it. PLEASE volunteer NOW for your
share of the work schedule!
Without YOU, the EMCC membership,
this event is not possible. The
Planning Team can plan all year
long, but when it comes right down
to it, it is YOU the membership
that makes the event happen.
WE NEED YOU!!! WE WANT YOU!!!
This is our biggest event of the
year & we have a great reputation
of having the BEST organized event
in the USA! We need to continue to
work on keeping that reputation
and improving on it where ever and
whenever possible. PLEASE help us
make CSF 2014 another great event
and our best yet!
MORE IMPORTANT INFO- As an EMCC
member, if you have not registered
for the show yet, please do so
ASAP. Bring your application to a
meeting or mail it in. If you want
an event t-shirt, you must buy
them like everyone else. You can
order them at a discount like
everyone else, when you preregister your Camaro. You must pay
for your t-shirt & MIS in advance.
JUDGING- EMCC members are
encouraged to NOT have their
Camaro judged during our event.
This is a request, not a rule, so
you can be judged if you want to.
Reason for not doing judging is
several- giving others the chance
to win, time and even though we
hire out the judges, it looks
“bad” when we win at our own
event. You can still get an award
– simply purchase one for $10.
This offer is only good to EMCC
members. If you want to purchase
an award, let Barry know ASAP!
AUCTIONS- Tom needs donations
for the silent auctions. Sports
stuff, car stuff, even household
stuff. All items MUST be in NEWnever used condition! Tom is also
looking for donations of Canadian
coins. He wants to do a bowl of
coins for guessing! Please bring
these items to any EMCC event or
meeting or to the show.
Other general updates, check out
the CSF website NEWS items. We’ve
also been posting these on the 3
main Camaro forums. Here’s a
SHOUT-OUT to Pete for keeping our
presence on FaceBook high, with
over 1000 likes! Thanks to Kristen
Lingenfelter for donating a hoodie
as a prize for a recent online
contest. GREAT job getting our
event out there!
ONE last item – who is good with
numbers? Mark, our Treasurer, will
need some help this year. If you
have such a talent, please let us
know!!
If you have any questions,
contact Barry or Randy! And don’t
forget – PRAY for good weather!
Remember- Camaro Superfest 2014
is only FIVE WEEKS away!!
ROGERS CAMARO SHOW
The first car show that EMCC
members attended as a group, was
the Camaro Show at Rogers
Chevrolet. We had 8 Camaros and/or
members attend the show. It was
great weather and the show was
very nice. I don’t know if anyone
took an award, as it seems that
most of us left early due to other
commitments. Thanks for attending,
hopefully we get more next year.
EMCC MEETING REPORT
We had a VERY good group for the
May meeting, at Rob’s shop Cuda
Automotive! Rob had invited a few
other clients and we had about 30
cars parked by his place. Of
course, most were Camaros and some
that were new to us. We passed out
flyers and newsletters to
hopefully get some new members. We
had a good meeting, lots of info
and prizes! OH, plus the food!!
BIG Thanks to Rob and his NAPA rep
for providing those items! We hope
to see you at the next EMCC
meeting on June 16!

Superfest 2014!! Are you ready?
Please send me an email, or call
me between 5pm-10pm to get on the
work list. WE NEED YOU!! We have a
GREAT club and GREAT members and
now is the time to show everyone
by helping run our event. I hope
you will be able to attend and
help!! Thanks in advance!
As you will see in the calendar
of events, there are LOTS of car
events in our area. We are blessed
and cursed at the same time. If
you look in Cruis’News magazine,
there are at least 5-8 car shows
on every weekend day – that’s up
to 16 events on any given weekend.
We always list some of the better
ones and I’m sure you may have
some favorites. Attend what you
can, represent EMCC well and have
fun! We do hope you will make a
special effort to attend our “club
choice” events.
Keep praying for good weather
for CSF!! I hope to see you at
some of our meetings and
activities.

CAMARO
NATS
CANADA
The annual
Camaro Nats in
Canada is just
over a month
away! This is
an event that
EMCC members
have attended
for many
years, but we seem to have fallen
off of attending. If you can’t go
for the entire weekend, we could
go for a day and a half... leaving
very early Saturday, spend the day
at the show, spend one night and
return home Sunday. Of course, you
need a passport or enhanced
drivers license to get into and
out of Canada. Let BARRY know if
you are interested in attending.
See flyer in this HUGGER.
