For those that didn’t make it, we had our toy drive at Moritz in December, and they were very excited to have us. In April, our annual car show will be held at the same location.

From the President
August has arrived and hopefully the heat will start to leave us soon. Hopefully the hard times of some of our Members and their Family's will end and we can start looking for better times.
On July 8th Paul Buchanan, a club member, son to Norma and Chuck Buchanan and brother to Mark Buchanan passed away un-expectantly at the age of 39. Then on Thursday, July 24th Zack Chester, 22, the son of Rhonda ad Mike Mason died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. My thoughts and prayers go out to both families in their time of need and healing. I know that all the club members agree that if there is anything we can do for you don't hesitate to ask. Godspeed to both Paul and Zack.
I sent out an e-mail as a reminder for our meeting last month and it seemed to help. We had the best turnout for a meeting in a long time. Thanks to all those that attended and I hope to see more of you next month to support our club. I will continue the mass e-mail reminder in the future because I know all of us have a lot going on in our lives and it is easy for the meeting to pass by without remembering when it is.
We are planning a Cruise on October 4th to Decatur for a Car Show on the Square. I have been told by several members of the club that it is great show and I have had requests by some club members for us to go. We will announce more about it when we finish planning the event but mark it on your calendars and let's show the Decatur group what Cowtown Mopars is all about. We plan to meet somewhere in Fort Worth and all go up there as a group. Hopefully it will be cooler weather for those of you without air conditioning.
The Muscle Car Challenge is about to fire up again and hopefully we can finish out the rest of the season out in the lead again and take another Championship. We are in the lead now and have several races to go.
The club trailer is ready to go to some our events now. We have finished getting the inside ready to carry the clubs equipment and need to start letting the sponsors on the trailer get their names noticed. There is still room on the trailer for anyone that wishes to help sponsor the trailer.
See you at our August Meeting!!

2008 MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
I've always wondered why August is the "dog days of summer". Dogs have more sense than to be out in this heat. My grass actually crackles when I walk on it.
We had a great turnout for the Christian Classic Cruisers Car Show. 20+ Mopars in attendance is the most we have had in quite a while. It was enough for the Cowtown Mopars to get the club participation award. Understand that there were over 320 cars at the show. We can make another good showing at the August event.
Johnny and Camille Woodside of Keller, have joined the club.
Welcome them.
If any member needs a roster, let me know and I will email you one.
Club dues are:Initial - single $25.00, family - $35.00
Renewal - single $15.00, family - $25.00

It's summer boys and girls. That means it's time to take refuge during the day and onlyout at. I can tell you that a little black Plymouth getstoasty when left in the sun. However, a short blast with the windows down helps a bit. Be sure to get a little wheel time in your own vehicles this summer. Even a quickie little jaunt to get an ice cream or Slurpee in the evening can be enough to keep the Mopar blood flowing.
Some of us lost family membersthe last month. Our hearts and thoughts go out to the surviving family members. Stop what you're doing for a moment and think about those you hold near and dear. Pick up the phone, step into the other room, or simply write a little note. Remind those important people in your life that they are indeed important and why. You never know when fate will pull your card or theirs. Besides, it's good for the soul.

From the Newsletter Editor
You didn't leave me any choice. In the absence of Car Of The Month Entries, I used my car this month. If you wish to avoid this type of print media torture, send me COTM pictures and article.
If you catch me at a club event I will be more than happy to take pictures of your car. I also have pictures that I have taken at many events over the last two years. I may HAVE a picture of your car. Check with me, and if I do, just get me a write up and I can get it in a future newsletter.
Speaking of pictures, I have approximately 50 minutes of home video on DVD, and 160 pictures on CD from the Mopars At The Motorplex. Please let me know ahead of time and I can have copies at the upcoming club events. I am only asking for small donations (one or two dollars) to cover my cost of materials.

Hey Cowtown Mopars Performance Race Team. Summer break is still going on, but we do have some race news to talk about. As everyone knows our next TMCCC race is September 6th, a Saturday.
Ken Castleman has been in contact with Nick at North Star Dragway in Denton. On September 27th along with The Texas Pro Mods they will have a "MOPAR ELIMINATOR RACE". It will be a foot brake only class, $40 entry, gates open at 6:00pm and time trials at 7:00. Winner-$800, RU-$350, semi-$125 and 1/4-$40. Racers can spend the night for the TMCCC race Sept 28th. If there is enough interest they may add an electronics class. Thanks Ken Castleman!
At the end of the July club meeting at Billy Bob's we took a little time for everyone to voice their opinion on the Mopars at the Motorplex for 2009. Please be a part of the August meeting and help us get started now as we continue to plan for next year's race. We need and want your input. THANKS!
For the entire Buchanan family I would like to THANK everyone for your prayers and support for our family. My little brother Paul died unexpectedly on July 8th from spinal meningitis. The prayers, emails, phone calls, cards, letters and flowers were of great encouragement and comfort after Paul's death. It has been difficult, but because of our faith, family and friends it has been much easier to deal with. Thank you for your support!
