Dear Empire Z Members,
We would like to thank everyone who came out to the meet on May 1. We had 15 Zs, an '85 Eldorado, and a '14 Shelby GT500.
Trivia - Congratulations to Roberto who received a Hot Wheels 370Z for answering our question about the stock horsepower for a 370Z. Answer: 332. Will
try to include hp ratings for all generations in the updates later this month.

Z Bash Plus - On April 26, Motorsport Auto hosted Z Bash at their location in Orange, CA. This year was downsized from the regular 3-day West Coast
Nationals, but they still had over 250 cars throughout the day and around 15 dyno runs. They also gave away $900 in gift certificates and 120 pizzas!
Owner-operator Greg Smith was kind enough to give us a booth for the event and they also give our members a 10% discount, so be sure to check them out

Santiago Canyon, Laguna Beach, PCH, and Ortega Highway during a great cruise. Pics will be on Facebook soon.
