  ABOUT LOST LAGOON
  The Lost Lagoon is a luxury campground with the world's largest RV Resort swimming pool, a Wibit water course and over 200 concrete RV sites with free wifi for all sites. Their luxury amenities offer a family-friendly environment with an on-site cafe, full bar and golf cart rentals.
  
  Before the Lost Lagoon became the Lost Lagoon, it was once a residential home with the worlds largest residential pool, and was even featured on HGTV (check out the video HERE)! Consisting of two homes, a pool and a large barn, the rest of the property was ranch land for livestock (see photo to the left). In 2017, the owners decided to sell and that is when the El Campo Lost Lagoon dream was born. Stephen and Kenna purchased the property and spent 18 months redesigning the entire property to their specific vision.

  All Cadillac V-Club members are invited to join our first Zoom web conference for an online meeting with Clifford Salvesen, Motorsports Technical Advisor for North America at ExxonMobil.

  ExxonMobil has now received the official General Motors endorsement for Mobil 1 Supercar 0W-40 as the recommended oil for all Cadillac V-Series going back to 2003/4 (inception) with the exception of the twin turbo V6 engine.  This endorsement was announced at the recent Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta and Clifford will be reviewing this endorsement during this Mobil 1 Tech Talk.

  At this time, General Motors is not willing to publish a recommendation for Mobil 1 Supercar 0W-40 for the twin turbo V6 engines without further testing since GM is required to verify that any recommendation meets all fuel economy and emission requirements and there is no testing on record to verify this for Mobil 1 Supercar 0W-40 oil for the twin turbo V6 engine.
  
  Therefore, the LF4 engines in the ATS-V and CT4-Blackwing are impacted by this exception.  All Cadillac V-Series twin turbo V6 engine owners should refer to their owner’s manual for the OEM recommendation for both oil and filter.

  RSVP registration via CadillacVClub.com is mandatory to confirm your attendance and receive access to the ZOOM credentials necessary to participate in the meeting.  You will need to install the ZOOM app on either your mobile or desktop device in order to participate.  The meeting will begin promptly on May 16 at 5:00PM PST, 7:00PM CST and 8:00PM EST.    
  
  Mobil 1 values your feedback.  This is your opportunity to interact with key Mobil 1 team members regarding the performance features of your vehicle and provide direct feedback on your personal ownership experience. 
  
  This meeting will be moderated by Gene Hawks, the Cadillac V-Club President.  Due to ZOOM attendee limitations, this event is restricted to only members of the Cadillac V-Club and to the first 100 members who RSVP to attend.
  
  If you have a family membership or are a sponsor of the V-Club, please RSVP register only once to participate via ZOOM.

  Holley LS Fest is invading Texas Motor Speedway!
  
  

  The Cadillac V-Club is headed to Fort Worth, Texas May 17-18 for Holley’s next installment of their popular LS Fest series known as Holley LS Fest Texas! This is the 3rd year the event has been held inside the Texas Motor Speedway and will feature all the popular automotive mayhem that LS Fests are known for including drifting, drag racing, burn out contests, show-n-shine, autocross, a dyno and more!
  
  Each LS Fest takes on a life of its own and Texas will be the nightlife as the event will start late and end late to beat the Texas heat. Most event segments will continue after dark including drifting, burn out contest, autocross and drag racing. LS Fest Texas drag racing will take place on pit road at the famed Texas Motor Speedway and will be a true no-prep style 1/8th mile drag race, which is sure to fit the nighttime vibe. Water misters will be around the facility during daylight hours so you can stay cool and work on your Texas tan!

  Mark your calendar and head on over to LSFest.com/texas to learn more about LS Fest Texas.  There are multiple RSVP registration options available for Cadillac V-Club members.  The Cadillac V-Club is not hosting or sponsoring this event but we would like to know if you plan to attend.  If you RSVP register, we will inform you via email when the bulk of our members plan to arrive.
  
  All vehicles that are members of the "LS and LT" variant engine families are invited to participate in this event. All LF4 and LFA "V6" GM engines are excluded from registering for any of the competitive events which includes the Car show.  This is a "V8" engine exclusive event.

  ABOUT RIDGE MOTORSPORTS PARK
  Development of the 170 acre site began in earnest in 2009. Asphalt for the road course was laid in November 2011. 2012 was the first full season of operations, with a fully booked calendar of events including car club lapping days, driver training schools and sanctioned auto and motorcycle races along with other bookings. The road circuit was penned by Steve Crawford, designer of Thunderhill Raceway Park and is 40 feet wide, 2.47 miles in length, with 16 turns, and has over 300 feet of elevation gain and loss per lap, including the 50 foot plunge down the Ridge Complex. Each lap of the Ridge Motorsports Park road circuit thrills with high speed straights and sweeper turns, huge compressions and blind weightless crests, challenging esses, a long carousel turn where you walk the tightrope between speed and grip, a double apex turn leading to another valley and cresting turn leading into a heavy braking zone, a short sprint between tight turns and finally a breathtaking plunge down the ridge into a technically difficult sequence of turns, before going hammer down on the front straight again! All of this in a park-like forest setting, with stunning territorial and mountain views.

  Join the Cadillac V-Club for our 2nd Quarter event on Saturday, June 8, 2024 for a something a little different than our normal meet 'n greet events. This is an "all day" event so plan accordingly.  We are participating in the annual Douglas Thompson Road Rally.  
  
  RSVP registration is mandatory to attend and all RSVP's must be received before Monday, June 3 at midnight.

  The cruise will start at Bent Bucket Bakery in Palo Pinto County off US 281 and south of IH-20. We will begin meeting up in the parking lot at 8:00 AM. Make sure to park in front of the buildings that sit to the south of Bent Bucket Bakery, so that we can make room for their regulars to park out front.
  
  Bent Bucket Bakery is a great place to grab a quick breakfast and a coffee and your meal will be compliments of the Cadillac V-Club (you will not be disappointed in the quality of their food).  Lunch will also be covered as a benefit of your membership during the cruise and we have 3 choices of restaurants for lunch.  We are extending the cruise route since we already have members registered to participate in the Speedway Children's Charities Laps for Charity event at Texas Motor Speedway. scheduled for 6PM.  We must arrive together as a group no later than 5:30PM.   The Laps for Charity event is optional and if you choose to participate you must RSVP register and submit your $60 donation via the Laps for Charity website.   
  
  After breakfast, we will head outside to the parking lot to hangout and to take photos by the big rockn’ chair.  The DHT Road Rally event organizer will conduct a driver's meeting outside by the rock'n chair and each of the rally participants will be split up in smaller groups at 9:30 AM. The first small group will leave at 10:00 AM and all vehicles should be on the road by 10:15AM.  Traffic control to get everyone out of the parking lot will be coordinated by a couple of Texas DPS Troopers.
  
  The cruise will wind through the North Texas hill country before we stop for lunch in Thurber/Mingus.  The vehicle cruise groups will split into multiple separate groups to avoid overcrowding The Smokestack Restaurant, New York Hill Restaurant and Mel’s Diner. We’ll start back up after lunch and cruise in our individual groups to Rusty’s Gas Station in Santo for the finale stop of the Douglas H. Thompson Road Rally.  The Cadillac V-Club group will then proceed on a cruise to Texas Motor Speedway for the Laps for Charity parade laps.
  
  Refer to the route map and agenda listed below.  All Cadillac V-Club members who RSVP register will receive an email with any updates to the route map or cancellation in case of inclement weather.  For those members that would like to meet and cruise out to Lipan as a group, meet at Racetrac off Western Center- 2921 Western Center Blvd, Fort Worth at 6:45 a.m. to fill up on fuel (they have E-85).  The group will depart promptly at 7:00am for the 60 minute cruise to Lipan, Texas.
  
  All Cadillac V-Club members and sponsors are invited to join us for breakfast and lunch compliments of the Cadillac V-Club.  If you plan to bring a guest, your guest fee is due at the time of your RSVP registration.  Prospective members are also welcome to join us at this event and you may bring a guest for a nominal fee payable at the time you RSVP register.

  If you RSVP and then your plans change, please be sure to cancel your registration so we have an accurate count of attendees.

  ABOUT DOUGLAS H. THOMPSON ROAD RALLY
  On December 7, 1969 while conducting a routine traffic stop 4 miles east of Weatherford on U.S. 80 (modern-day U.S. 180) four miles east of Weatherford., TX, Trooper Thompson was struck by a hit and run driver.  The Douglas H. Thompson Road Rally is held annually in his honor.  Gone but not forgotten.
  

  As he was talking with the driver of a car he had stopped for speeding, the suspect car came up from behind him, struck his cruiser, and then him as he stood beside the speeder's car.

  Six months later, a car found abandoned on a street in Fort Worth led police to the 44-year-old owner, who was arrested after an investigation revealed that damage to his car matched the paint and parts from the car that fled from the accident scene. He was convicted of failing to stop and render aid and sentenced to two years.

  Trooper Thompson had served with the Texas Highway Patrol for four years and was stationed at Weatherford. He was survived by his wife and son.

  ABOUT SEBRING RACEWAY PARK
  Sebring is renowned for its rough surface. The course still runs on old sections of World War II-era landing fields that were constructed of concrete sections with large seams. The transitions between sections are quite rough and often, sparks fly from the undercarriages of the cars as they traverse them. Much of the track has intentionally been left with its original concrete runway surface. The track surface has 3.04 miles (4.89 km) of asphalt and 0.7 miles (1.1 km) of concrete. Mario Andretti, a 3-time 12 Hours winner, said that one of the hardest parts about the original Sebring track was finding the track to begin with! There had been many accounts of drivers retiring due to accidents at night, quite simply because they got lost on the runway sections and couldn't find the track again. Some drivers got lost even during the day, mostly because the track was poorly marked down with white lines and cones.

  ABOUT CITY BBQ CATERING
  
  

  Serving and creating happiness is at the heart of who we are, and the flavor of America is what we're proud to serve. Every day, we’re smoking tastes of the nation, from Kansas City to the Carolinas; taking care of our friends and neighbors; and sharing our passion for the art and soul of BBQ.

  When we opened the first City Barbeque in 1999, we thought we wanted to serve folks the best barbeque they’d ever had—but it didn’t take long for us to realize we wanted to serve more than just great food. Today, our goal is to serve and create happiness, and we look forward to doing just that for folks across the country for years to come.

  The Cadillac V-Club is the "Title/Presenting Sponsor" of this event.   For 2024, the Cadillac V-Club will again be cruising to Longview, Texas to show support of this worthy charity.  This road trip will proceed down Interstate 20 into the piney woods of East Texas with a scheduled arrival time no later than 9:15 AM.  It will require a very early departure from the DFW metroplex but is always a fun, spirited cruise down Interstate 20!

  As a sponsor of this event, the Cadillac V-Club is allowed a maximum of 12 vehicles (out of 100 total spaces) inside the building to display during the auto show.  This year there will also be an "outdoor" show since there are always more vehicles than will fit inside the building.   There is no limit to the number of vehicles to be displayed in the auto show outside the building.
  
  There is no entry fee to participate for Cadillac V-Club members in either the indoor/outdoor auto show or as a general admission "spectator" as long as participants RSVP register via CadillacVClub.com.  Participation in the indoor show will be restricted to the first 12 members who RSVP register and your Cadillac V-Series vehicle must be "show ready".   

  The mission of the Drive to Remember event and charity is to find a cure for Alzheimer's Disease by contributing to intensive research; to assist in promoting enriched treatment programs for those families already affected, and to increase public awareness of the need for an end to Alzheimer's. Click here to visit their Facebook page and be sure to checkout the D2R website at drive2remember.org .
  

  RSVP registration is mandatory to confirm your participation as an auto show entry or general admission spectator.  There will be a short cruise to Tyler, Texas for a complimentary early dinner after the auto show ends at 3:00PM.  If you are a Cadillac V-Series owner who has not yet joined the Cadillac V-Club and would like to cruise with us to this event, you are also required to RSVP register.
