06.21.08 Midwest Z Car/Regional Meeting Nashville, Indiana.(Updated)

Plans now are for anyone leaving Friday (departure is 12:35 PM, meet at the Meijers store on Rome Hilliard road  for the caravan. This is right off the I-70 Rome Hilliard exit. We are going to take the most direct path this year, same way we returned last year so we can avoid the clutter of Cincinnati as well as Columbus Indiana since the route took us directly through town. Weekend plans are pretty much hang out Friday at the Keg 'n Clean so we can socialize with the other attendees, get the cars in show condition Friday and then Saturday morning if necessary, park 'em for the car show and then either hang out there or walk up the street to the shops, etc, followed by the cruize after the car show (I think they have that scheduled) and then the usual ZROC gathering outside our block of hotel rooms for brews and tunes from the "mobile jukebox" of Mitch's car after dinner. Two years ago they had a pretty good band in the bar so we can gravitate over there as the night goes on. Of course all are welcome to go exploring on their own too; we do want everyone entered into the car show so we can get the points – it would be nice to take the Regional trophy home!

 If anyone wants to volunteer to be a judge at the show, let Jim know and we will pass that along to the Indy folks - as well, if Indy needs help with any other logistical issues, ZROC is known as the hands-on club! The ZROC board has been entertaining the thought of hosting next years event - our last turn was 2005 and we are probably due More on that as it develops....Hope to see a bunch of you in “back home again in Indiana!

3.26.09Test and Tune event- Cancelled!

ZROC'ers...we regret that the March Event has been cancelled.  Scheduling of a location for this early event unfortunately didn't work out as planned.  Gregg Egglestone was more concerned that the quality of the event was up to standard, rather than doing it poorly.

So the first in town event will be the Heritage Tour on April 25th.

3.25.09 Thanks from the Prez on Columbus Auto Show.

Steve's message about the show says it all!

Wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who participated in the Columbus Auto Show last week. Everyone from ZROC volunteers (voluntolds ?) to the Nissan folks and the attendees had nothing but words of praise for our display, and as Jim Corbett has often said, everyone had a Z Story to tell. Our presence at this event  should  boost our member ranks by at least several, and quite possibly more; most of the actual Z owners who visited had not heard of us despite our constant efforts at tagging vehicles and promoting the club through the various Internet forums, and they were pretty excited to hear that their was a club where they could indulge their 'sickness" with people who understand! Also I think we may have inspired several of them to get that old car out of storage and back on the road, and that is pretty exciting stuff.   I won't take the time here to list everyone individually; I'll leave that for the next newsletter,  but a lot of people gave a lot of their time to ensure the success of this venture, particularly those who displayed their cars. And I would like to personally thank Jim Corbett and Gregg Eggleston - they were the spark behind the fire and really stepped up to pull this off in a very short period of time. Also a word of thanks to Kevin Good for putting together the great DVD with pictures of our past events - he accomplished this while on a business trip last week and the result became a pretty cool centerpiece of our display. This event only serves to reinforce my opinion that ZROC is THE premier Z club when it comes to promoting the tradition of our cars, and it really is a pleasure to be associated with such a great group of people. Hope to see all of you soon at an upcoming event. Nobody rocks like ZROC!
