Background |
The American Camaro Association was formed
to help promote a dialog between the over 140 Camaro clubs
in North America. Our goal is to keep those grass roots clubs
strong and active, so that they may better help their local
members - the true Camaro enthusiasts. Information and ideas
we collect from various Camaro Club newsletters, and from
GM, is made available to all clubs equally. No fees or dues
are collected or solicited from Camaro clubs. We also help
individuals locate clubs in their local area whenever possible,
and help outgoing hobbyists form new local clubs when there
are none in their region. We are here to list functions and
Camaro events, to help keep everyone updated on information
from Chevrolet, and the hobby in general.
The American Camaro Association, and this website, are funded
with proceeds from our “Camaro Nationals” - originally
named “Camaros at Carlisle”. Proceeds of the show
also support the ‘Silence of Mary Home’ - a home
for disenfranchised and abused youngsters. The home serves
the greater Harrisburg, Pennsylvania area.
Although our Camaro Nationals have been held at the Carlisle
Fairgrounds since their inception in 1999, we are not affiliated
with Carlisle Productions. We feel the benefits of their outstanding
facility - paved roads, grandstand, food court, fenced &
secured grounds, etc. - make it one of the finest car show
locations in the country. Our show staff and judges are all
volunteers. They travel from all areas of the country to support
our hobby - the celebration of one of the greatest American
cars ever built. Membership in the A.C.A. is not required
to attend or participate in the Camaro Nationals.
The growth of the hobby depends on the activity of all types
of Camaro owners; from daily drivers, modified show cars,
& weekend cruisers, to those who strive to maintain accurate
restorations, or preserve original cars. Our judging staff
is charged with refining and maintaining a broad spectrum
of classes. (see CLASSES on
