Yea it would be tight to setup a cruise for this summer cause it seems that the CO f-bodies are lacking in gtg and stuff, the only time I've talked to f-body guys up here is when I was at a gas station.... what would be cool is to setup a cruise to Bandimere.

Last year there were 3-4 big cruises, and a bunch of little gatherings.

I know some of the local guys prefer not to attend the cruises as they are kinda 'show-off' type outings.
I personally enjoy them though.
Bandimere gets going and a lot of us spend weekends there.

Hey guys I'm slvrformula's older brother, just moved up here last week, I just recently traded my brother cars, so now he owns the formula. I'd like to start something up, get ahold of acouple guys you know and couple guys I know, and start meeting up somewhere maybe once a week or so. I looked up the Denver F-body Association and they seem like a bunch of old guys that don't do anything.

I was a member of SAFB (San Antonio F-body Association) and we kept growing til we had enough people(25) to start getting discounts at performance shops, dealerships, and track events. It would be really nice if we could start something like that, discounts are a big attraction to people, and it usually works.

Texas definately has a great Fbody scene, I'd definately be down to have the get togethers and or see if something better can be started it just seems as if though not many would be interested or lack of time etc. As far as the weekly meets go, that might be tough too depending on location, and until temps go up, itll be awhile before im out and about for sure.

I've got two more buddies, plus me, plus the two of you, that makes five of us.

BTW, welcome to Colorado.

Awesome, I'm glad to see you guys are willing! Yeah as for the weekly meets, I think that would be more of a summer thing (I don't know when it snows up here, not used to having snow). I'm sure that we can figure out a time/place when the time comes. But those up for having weekly meets before the summer, I'm down for that too.
