The View from the top.
July 2007
By the time you read this newsletter, Camaro
Superfest 2007 will be history. At the time of
this writing, the weather forecast looks awesome.
I’m hoping everyone had a great time
at the show. Also, by the time you
read this, I will have had surgery to
remove a cancerous tumor from my
rd
right kidney. My surgery is July 3
(two days after Superfest, yes, I
planned it that way.). I expect to be in
the hospital a few days, so will miss
the July WMCC Club Meeting.
Club Vice-President, Gary Crippin will
run the meeting in my absence, and as in the past
will do a great job of keeping the Club rolling
along, without a hitch. Please take a look at the
Events Calendar, since there have been a couple
of events added since last month.
I’m sure there will be many photos of the Hot
Rod Magazine Power Tour as well and shots
from the MiFbody Meet & Greet. Look the
photos over. If you missed either of these events,
you missed out on some great fun.
I’ll be looking forward to a fast recovery and
getting back into the swing of things. Thank you
to all my Camaro Family for your prayers and
support. It means more to me than you could
possibly every know.

I had Planned to have a full story written for this
months newsletter. But its not finished yet and it
is now sunday July 1st and I just got home from
Camaro Superfest 2007. So in order to get this
newsletter out by monday, so all of you can see it
before the meeting I’m going to have to wait until
next month to run it. So for this month you will
have to live with some pictures and me saying
WOW, if you haven’t done this yet you MUST.

Possible Club Outing:
Hi,
Last night we went to Gary Fields Comedy Club, every Wednesday they have Street Rodder
Night. While we were there I spoke with Gary and asked if they would be able to accommodate at group
of 30 or 40 if our club was interested in coming in early on a Saturday, do our meeting and have dinner
and possible stay for the comedy club. He stated that would be great and suggested if we came at 6:30
p.m. this is before they open and we could have club meeting possibly and then follow with comedy
club. I explained if everyone drove their car we would need a securesecure place to park. He stated if
we came early there is usually only 3-4 cars in his lot and we would have room between there and right
out front. Wondered if this is something that might work for the club, sounded like fun. Gary really likes
cars.
Dennis and Bonnie Edwards
We will Discuss this More At the meeting.
