News & Updates:
.8.11.08-Summer Rally- details....but not to many!
This years Summer Rally will be held this Saturday, August
16th,2008. If it seems that the details are sketchy...well that's on
purpose...you get most of the details at the start....and you and your navigator
will have to be able to adapt to the course to win the big prizes.
Details are finally worked out! Meeting place is Hilliard Davidson High
School parking lot, 5100 Davidson Road, Hilliard Ohio 43026 (Google it for
directions or e-mail/call me) Corner of Davidson and Avery Roads - 4:30 PM.
Cruise will be about 2 hours through Madison, Union and Delaware counties,
ending at Jim Corbett's (2019 Braumiller Road, Delaware) for pizza and cold
beverages. Bring a navigator and your two-way radios so you can help those who
get lost, or even tell them to take some wrong turns! Rally will involve
spotting landmarks and locating assigned scavenger items along the way, prizes
for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place; each car will get directions and a list of things to
watch for and things to collect along the way. This is not a "run with the pack"
type of drive; each car will leave 5 minutes apart and go at their own pace and
there are no bonus points for finishing first! Gregg and I do promise you some
fun roads and some interesting things to watch out for, some of which will take
a bit of sleuthing. (Hint: dead end roads still lead to somewhere, and if you
come to a Y in the road, take it!) Those who attended last years rally will
attest that it is a fun event. Event is Rain or Shine. (Pray for shine!)
7.30.08.Summer Rally
The date on this event has been changed to August 16th. Please
check the site in the next week for additional information.
Last year's Summer Evening driving event and rally was a pretty
big success, so Gregg is working out the route to do it all again. Some
conflicts required that the date be moved back one week, so adjust you
calendars.
Watch for updates here and via e-mails from VP Eggleston.
7.7.08 Arthritis- Classic Auto Show and Cruise-in in Dublin
A little wrap-up on the event. Great attendance by the club and
participation of the members. The Arthritis CAS Committee was very
complementary to ZROC for the great turn-out. Couple awards to the members
- Jim Corbett- Best of Show- Daddy
- Tim Davis-Award of Excellence- 300ZX TT
- Chris Myers- Award of Excellance-240Z
The event was well received and our participation will likely continue in the
future as it's a great cause, and there's lots to see. (P.S. There's no
truth to the Board voting Patron as the beverage of ZROC!
☺)
6.11.08 Message from Gregg Eggleston VP. It's VGP time
To all members of ZROC,
as two major events have just passed and these events were out-of-town (
ZDAYZ and Midwest Z)and not all members could attend for various reasons, the
attendance was thin. Mitch's Island Back Yard Party is in 18 days and
(Hawaii shirts optional) hopefully the ZROC attendance to this local event is
high. A side dish and your favorite beverage is appreciated.
Having said that, as
always Sunday the 29th at 8 a.m. ZROC members will be heading out to Vintage
Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio. Meeting place is the first road-side rest on 71 North
just before the exit of 36 and 37. Let's have the cars full of gas, lawn
chairs, loaded coolers for the caravan up to Mid-Ohio. ZROC will provide City
Barbecue, side dishes and potato chips.
6.11.08 ZCON deadline approaching.
If your planning on attending ZCON in September, ( link down the page) the early
registration is going to close soon. So get going and save a buck!
6.11.08 Emco Gear Classic is great Grand Am Racing.
The Grand Am is running at M.O. the weekend of 6/20/08-6-22/08 with the feature
event being at 5 p,m, on Saturday. Call Gregg if you are headed up. He'll point
you to the few ZROC ers that are attending.
6.11.08 Wrap up from the Midwest Z Fest- Chicago, IL
Eleven members attended the Midwest Z Fest. Charles and Greg each place in the
car show. 75 vehicles attended and the Windy City Z Club put on a good show.
Saturday highlight was the trip to Joliet to the Autobahn Auto Country Club,
where we made nice 60 m.p.h. cycle of the North course, no passing allowed.
Fun...but after a while behind some slow guy....well...a good time. ZROC held
the best parking lot party, complete with our own Flower Children... showing off
her true image.....closet Hippie!.
5.20.08 ZDAYZ photos are up on the web.
