		Dear Member, I would like to thank you all for making 2005 a great start for	the club's vehicle diversity, represent our pride and share our passion with admirers of GM performance vehicles. The web site and forum content will be changed on a regular basis to keep you informed about our club, its members and GM's performance industry. We will continue to enjoy features such as "Car of the Month" and in addition to that, a complete Member's Gallery where you can present your car amongst fellow members. Proudly we introduce the first WCGMP newsletter, the "FUEL LINE", to keep you in touch with the club’s current events, member spotlights, important messages, motor sports statistics and much, much more!	Re-invention of our sponsors will go from unrecognizable and sparsely timed discounts to contributions that will benefit the club as a whole. Entertaining and competitive fundraisers will be produced where our member's friends and family can all participate in strengthening our foundation so that we can produce even more worthwhile events where we could not have done before. Now is a great time to renew or become a member with so many good things to come! Sincerely, -Clarence Wong President
	our club. We go into 2006 with a new staff of officers that have your best interests at heart and I'd like to share with you some of the new changes and highlights we will have scheduled throughout the year. We plan to enrich your experience by providing new and seasoned events. You'll be taking part in fun games, contests, get-togethers and of course motor sports, all conveniently scheduled for you. Recognition of our club will be made to draw fans like ourselves and public media in. The purpose will be to grow out

Events Outlook
As 2006 dons a new year, it will also don new events for WCGMP. While some successful events from last year will be included such as Super Chevy and other annual festivities, new events will take place that will bring enjoyment to the club’s members and also reach out to new potential members. This year to come, WCGMP will take our meet on the road on a few select months where we can reach out to new parts of the bay area. Expectations of this are to not only draw in attention from new areas, but also to “mix things up” and explore new places and restaurants for entertainment.

An important objective for 2006 that the officers will take on which I will play a major role in is club growth. We all feel that 2005 was a great first year for WCGMP and the foundation has been laid that will support our growth. Of course we will not be able to achieve this with out everyone else’s support. As we begin to see new people on the board and making it out to meets, please make an effort to introduce yourself and make them feel welcomed. I look forward to what 2006 has in store for WCGMP and hope that we have another fun filled year full of meets and events that brings us together to share our enthusiasm we have for our cars.

Social Director

Shawn McDonald / Smacz
2001 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Quick Silver Congratulations to Shawn McDonald and his 2001 Corvette Z06 for being 2006's first Car of The month!! Shawn played a vital part in getting our club started. This past year, he rewarded his "Z" by adding Longtubes, Borla stingers, and a Dynotune putting his beast up to 372rwhp/375rwtq. Shawn is looking forward to his ‘Race’, coming later this month.


		5th Generation Concept Camaro
		When GM made the announcement that the Camaro and Firebird would no longer be built after a 35-year reign, most enthusiasts were numb with disbelief. How could this happen?!?!?! … thought legions of fans. In the last few months, news that a 5th generation Camaro is in the future from GM, has sparked a lot of debate among car enthusiasts. Irrespective of GM's true intent towards a next generation Camaro, there is quite a debate both inside and outside GM, over which styling direction it should take. One faction--a slim majority by all accounts--favors a futuristic aerodynamic theme, the majority, a heritage direction resembling the first generation. In December, the controversy grew, as photos “leaked” from inside of GM made its way through the internet on various websites and bulletin boards. In January of 2006 the “Camaro Concept” car will be revealed at the annual car show in Detroit.
