We would like to thank everyone who came out to the meet on May 2. We had 14 cars with 4 generations of Zs represented and Fred's 480hp black GT-R. You can check out pictures from the meet at www.facebook.com/inlandempirez .

Trivia - Congratulations to Jose Tarin who won a special edition of Nissan Sport magazine for answering our trivia question about the only model year of the 260Z in the U.S. You can find the answer and more in this interesting thread http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/zcar-history-forum/23745-260z-japan.html

ZCCM - This is the new Z magazine and we were among the first people to get hard copies of the very first issue at the Z-Car West Coast Nationals. If you would like to subscribe, please reply to this e-mail. It is $15 for 6 bimonthly issues and you get a hard copy and e-copy of each.

Powertrix - As always, we would like to thank Charles Park for driving up from San Diego. Check out the latest in performance parts for your Z at www.powertrix.com

Charity - Last year we were fortunate enough to have a surplus and I proposed using our car show as an opportunity to give back to a good cause, increase exposure for our show, and expand our club's network. Our Secretary, Fred Britt, suggested the San Bernardino Dog Rescue/Shelter. The idea was put to a quorum at the meeting and the vast majority were in favor of the idea. The next step will be to talk with our sponsor, Nissan of San Bernardino, and see what they think.
