Welcome to a new year everyone! At the risk of sounding trite, where does the time go? With our beloved Mopars in a
deep winter sleep, perhaps now is the time to think about what activities we would like to do for 2023 and get those on the books before
we get too deep into working or cleaning up for the coming cruising, shows and other car activities season. I did get a reservation with
Gateway Classic Cars for our club to be the featured club for the monthly Caffeine & Chrome car show they put on. The shows are the fourth
Saturday of each month. We are the featured club for May. Please set aside May 27th to show off your classic Mopar.
John Quinn has had a major back operation and the recovery is very slow going for him. If you live in the Arvada area, please
think about contacting John to see if he needs any assistance around the house. His number is in the newsletter (back page). Remember our club motto is “Friends helping Friends”.
Also, I would like to set a date for the clubs to have a race night once again at RJ’s Raceway & Hobbies in Wheat Ridge.
Let’s also discuss some cruise nights and other events. Possibly indoor go-kart racing? I checked Bandimere’s online and at this time they
don’t have the 2023 schedule up. One event for us to attend would be the annual Mopar show and race day once we know the date.
Dues are due! Please get your cash or check to Eric our treasurer. The CCCC is not having a meeting in January, just like previous years.
Best wishes to all of you for 2023. We pray for a full and speedy recovery for John Quinn.

Come by and check out a meeting.
NOTE: We now combine our meeting with another MOPAR club – RPM. The RPM club supports car racing. Colorado Mopar and RPM used to be one club but split many years
ago to focus on different interests. We remain two distinct Clubs but meet together.
Our club is run via an elected board of officers who share the interests and enthusiasm of the membership. Being an officer requires hard work and sincere dedication. Club Officers are responsible for the management of club events, activities and general organization, as well as representing Colorado Mopar within the Classic Car community to ensure that the membership has an opportunity to participate in auto related events throughout the local area. They, as are the rest of us, working to expand the club and encourage the fullest possible involvement in activities and experiences that enhance the pride of ownership, enjoyment and appreciation of Mopar vehicles.
We do have a few perquisites prior to becoming a Member of Colorado Mopar. We ask that you attend at least 2 club meetings within a 4 month period.
We try to have at least 1 event per month. Our events have included bowling, visits to private car collections and museums and various cruises.
Membership dues are paid annually per family. Checks can be mailed to:
Colorado Mopar Club
P.O. Box 571
