May 20th @ 9:00am Community Event: National River Cleanup Day - Lake Almaden May 21st @ 8:00am Event: Friendship Day Car Show - Canada College June 3rd @ 1:30pm Meet Location: Union Plaza Dinner: Famous Daves More Events,,,

		For WCGMP's May event, we have decided to particpate in one of the Bay Area's biggest car shows. I know the name makes the event sound a bit oddball but I think this will be a great event. With an awesome view, lots of cars, and only a $10 gate fee this will give everyone a chance to show off their car for such a low price and on an awesome stage. Even though the gates open at 8:00 we can meet in San Jose at 8:00 and then head off by 8:30. If some of our fellow north bay members are going to
	make this we can make another final meet spot close to Canada College so we can all roll up together. Listed below is a small synopsis of the event and should answer most questions on this event. Building on the momentum of last year when we had 850+ cars, Friendship Day remains one of Northern California’s biggest, friendliest, and happiest collector car events. The $10 entry fee per car includes a magnetic dash plaque plus free donuts and coffee as long as they last. No judging, no awards, no vendors, no preregistration. Just pay at the gate, park your car and walk and talk. See the incredible breadth of the old car hobby—antiques, classics, special interest, trucks, sports, muscle, rods, campers, etc. Austin’s Texas BBQ will prepare lunch of hot dog, hamburger or veggie burger with chips and drink for only $5. -Lee Anderson, Social Director Date: Sunday May 21, 2006 Time: Meet at Monthly Meet Spot (Cambrian Plaza) at 8:00 AM Visit Friendship Day 2005 Photos

As part of a continuing effort to have WCGMP help out in the community, it's my pleasure to announce the River Clean Up event. This event involves volunteering 3 hours of your time to help clean up our local rivers and reservoir. The location that was assigned to WCGMP was Almaden lake. Further instructions will be provided during the actual event. A special thanks goes to Elma for finding this non profit orginization that is always looking for support to help with their worthy cause.

WCGMP would like to thank JC Fung and Lee Andersen for producing the banner and support frame. A special thank you goes out to our official members for making this possible.

During the May Meet dinner we held the drawing for Immacualte Reflections Zaino detiling service. Our very own Jeff McGoveran was our honored selector of the winning ticket!

Antonio Reid / SinfulGTO
2004 Pontiac GTO - Phantom Black Congratulations to Antonio Reid and his Phantom Black 2004 GTO for being May's Car of the Month! His power modifications so far are muffler and resonator delete. He's been thinking about adding long tube headers, but for now is looking to improve the car's appearance. He's in line to receive a set of '06 GTO tail lights which should further set his already beautiful car apart. Antonio Reid / SinfulGTO


		Pontiac Unveils Red Bull Solstice GXP Drifter
		With the Goat about to go bye-bye again, Pontiac needed to cough up another car for its championship drifter Ryhs Millen to pilot in this year’s Formula D circuit. Fortunately the 2007 Pontiac GXP makes a perfect choice thanks to its RWD layout and potent 2.0L ECOTEC engine. The ECOTEC four-cylinder has been pumped up to over 1,400 hp in drag racing applications, so the fact that it will provide Millen’s right foot with 500 hp is no surprise. And the darn thing runs on E85! Rhys Millen's Drifting Solstice

		Sneak Peek: GM's Pontiac Solstice Racer?
		An alert member of the Solstice Forum attended the March Madness/Final Four Pontiac demofest at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway last Sunday, and got a brief glimpse of the newest offspring of the GM Performance parts bin - a Pontiac Solstice racer! The car appears to be outfitted for SCCA Showroom Stock 'B' racing (basically a stock car with minimal modifications allowed) and features a nice little add-on hardtop. SCCA Z0K Solstice

		Saturn Previews Sky Red Line at New York Autoshow
		The dust has barely settled from the debut of Saturn's Sky roadster, and Saturn is already unveiling a high-performance variant. The big news is under the hood, where the Red Line model gets the Ecotec turbocharged direct-injection engine, good for an inspiring 260 hp at 5300 rpm and 260 ft-lb of torque at 2500 rpm. At 2.1 hp per cubic inch of displacement, the turbo Ecotec sets a General Motors record for specific output. The Red Line will grace your local Saturn dealer's showroom this fall. Saturn Sky Redline
