ZROC

This year we will add a stop to the Dealer Heritage Drive. In years past, we had tried making a stop at Germain Nissan, and sadly got away from it. We are happy to say 2022 is the year we make our return! Please join us!

Here is the event calendar for 2022. Events will be created on Facebook. Emails and reminders will also be sent. Hope you can join us for another GREAT season!

Some of our members took advantage of the nice weather and attended an open house put on by B Precise Auto Detailing that took place in Johnstown on Saturday, March 5th. Board member and employee of B Precise, Scottie Wappenstein, graciously invited us. As usual, the company was great and the cars and weather were fantastic!

On Saturday, February 19th ZROC held our annual meeting and voted in our new board members. Congrats and welcome:

President – Lee Bivens

Vice President – Shelby Wofford

Treasurer – Ernie Lawson

Membership – Shane Bradfield

Communications – Brian Bivens

Dealer Relations – Jim Corbett

Member-At-Large – Scottie Wappenstein

This club takes a group effort to make it succeed and together we do it better than most! Keep an eye out for our upcoming schedule, through email, Facebook and the website. We would love for you to join our family, because it’s more than just a car club!

Another busy summer for ZROC! In the middle of July we did our annual twisty drive on OH555. We had a fantastic turnout, with nearly 20 cars! After enjoying some driving fun, we stopping at Buckeye Lake for lunch. Thank you to Ernie Lawson for leading this drive.

For the end of July, we attended another Columbus Clippers baseball game with our families. Great weather, great company, a Clippers victory and some fireworks at the end!

Moving into August, we did a covered bridge drive, with another fantastic turnout, again nearly 20 cars. Many thanks to one of our newer members, Tanner Thiessen for leading this drive! Great photos and roads, to go along with terrific weather.

Finally, we finished our summer driving season with the ever popular Hocking Hills drive. Again, as usual, great turnout and great weather. Thank you to Tom Marshall for leading this drive.

Hello ZROC! Hope everyone had a great 4th of July! It was a busy June for the club! Starting with the Midwest Z Heritage Show in Cleveland, our own Ernie Lawson took home 2nd place in the Z32 daily driver class! The next weekend was the Vintage Grand Prix at Mid-Ohio, where Nick Ida won an award! To close out our busy month, we had our annual visit at the Arthritis Car Show in Dublin, where once again, Nick Ida took Best of Show in our class! Congrats to all and many thanks to everyone who came out to make all these events a great success!

 

Many thanks to everyone who came out to the ice cream drive. We took a nice back road cruise on our way to Aerial Foundation Park in Mt. Vernon to see the sights and they were mighty tall (almost 250 steps!). Afterward, we headed to the main event, ice cream at Round Hill Dairy. A nice, quiet and quaint place, it was really good ice cream. The rain held off until we left and it was a good day for all. Next up, our infamous ZDAYZ trip. Hope you see you all there!

WOW, about sums up the 2019 Annual Dealer Heritage Drive! What a turn out we had from start to finish, with an early morning start at Lennox Cars & Coffee, then a caravan to Nissan North for lunch, followed by stops at Buckeye Nissan & Georgesville Nissan. Many thanks to all our current/new members and to ALL of our dealers, who are such wonderful hosts! If you didn’t get a chance to join us, please check our the event calendar on the website and on Facebook. Next event is Saturday, May 4th. Originally scheduled to be a drive to Velvet Ice Cream in Utica, we are planning an alternate route and stop (still for ice cream, so no worries about missing out on sweets!). We look forward to Zeeing you!

We made our first visit to Buckeye Raceway and had a blast on a windy Sunday! We had a HUGE turnout to this event – a total of 21 people! There was plenty of speeding, bumping, blocking and even a few fender benders making this a “track day” to remember. There was some stiff competition for the fastest times of the day and after 3 heats [even one in the dark], Brian Bivens got pushed out of his first place spot by Kyle McGlone. Hopefully everyone had a good time, and if you missed out, be sure to stay tuned here for our next event!
