We are more or less centered around Albuquerque, NM, but have members in Santa Fe, Las Cruces, and other places around the state of New Mexico. The club meets regularly for breakfast on the first Saturday of every month, we have a few drives throughout the year, a Christmas party, etc. There is a smaller group that gets together every Saturday. Like most 356 clubs, there is a lot of member help with each other to maintain cars, source parts, share advice etc. We mingle with the Arizona Outlaws quite a bit, given our shared geography.
