Last Club Meeting: Our last club meeting was a blast! Once again, Keith Hultmark provided an awesome water-side location and we had roughly 35 attendees. We tried a different format this time, hanging outside for an hour, then eating pizza and heading upstairs for a great slideshow presentation by David Russell on restoring Z cars. You can see pictures, compliments of Keith at: http://s277.photobucket.com/albums/kk69 ... =slideshow

Next Club Meeting: Our next club meeting will be held on Wednesday June 10th at 7:00pm at Middletown Nissan in Middletown CT. As you may be aware, we are continuing our efforts to hold club meeetings throughout the state this season. Dave Calebrese, owner of Middletown Nissan, has generously offered meeting space and pizza for the evening. You can check them out at http://www.middletownnissan.com/. Remember - If you know of a great location for a future meeting in your neck of the woods, please e-mail me.

CTZCC Decals: The club decals are here! The club decals are here! They measure 1 3/4" x 9 3/4", lettering in white, "Z" in Red or Black. Available for both inside window application or outside application (like on a tool box). They are $5.44 ($5.00 each plus $.44 postage) and you can order them by contacting Keith Hultmark at keith@ctzcc.com. All proceeds after cost go to fund future club meetings and events. You can see photos of the decals at: http://forums.ctzcc.com/viewtopic.php?t=3890

Member Rides Gallery: Our newest pictures are of Bob Sharp's new racecar, which has just been re-painted in the original GT-33 paint scheme! Check it out at http://www.ctzcc.com/rides.shtml. We now have 135 cars uploaded into our Member Rides Gallery. That sounds great until you realize that we have over 250 members! If my high school math class served me correctly, that means that there is a 46% chance that YOU are one of those folks that have not uploaded pictures! While I did receive a failing grade in that course after I declared I was "hot for teacher", you get the message! Please upload those photos by sending your name and preferred password to Jim Hagani at webmaster@ctzcc.com.
