We are holding one of our most popular drives on Saturday, September 20th.
Meeting point is the Flying J Travel Center located at 10480 Baltimore Rd. SW, Millersport, OH 43046. Meeting time is 9:30am.
We will head east towards Zanesville, OH and drive some curvy roads before hitting the 555. Afterwards we will meet at Papa Boos at Buckeye Lake for some cold drinks and lunch. Hope to see everyone there.
Don’t worry….it’s a bye week for the Buckeyes so no game.
A couple of months back I sent out an email regarding the Z’s Across America Rally (ZAAR). ZROC is working with ZCCC to escort the group coming from York, PA (via the White Rose Z Club) through Columbus and into Indianapolis (where the Indy Z Car Club will assume the escort the next morning). The date of our segment (#6) is Wednesday, August 27th, we are meeting the group at the Rt40/I-70 interchange on the west side of Zanesville around 4pm (at a Shell/McDonalds). If you want to join in this drive you must registrar at the ZAAR link below and complete the waiver form. Please note that this rally/drive is limited to Nissan/Infiniti products only.
Sorry for the late notice on this. ZROC is planning on caravaning to the Dayton Cars & Coffee event this Saturday, August 2nd.
We will meet at the Meijer’s parking lot in Hilliard, located at 1661 Hilliard Rome Rd., Col’s 43228 at 7am and then drive over to the event together. If you are planning on meeting us there the location is:
ZROC once again is planning to participate in the Arthritis Charity Auto Show. The event is next Thursday through Saturday, July 17 – 19 and the show location is 555 Metro PL N., in Dublin, Ohio.
The main show is on Saturday but the Friday night cruise in is pretty cool as well. ZROC has participated in this event for over a decade so if you can make it out we’d love to see you there. You can register your vehicle at www.arthritis.org/afcas. For those of you on Facebook an event has been created under the events tab so responding to that would be great so we have an approximate count but you must register your vehicle with the Arthritis Foundation at the above site to be able to participate in the show.
If you just want to walk around and look at all the vehicles you can do that as well but I believe there is a $10 admission fee per person.
Sunday, June 22 is the Vintage Grand Prix at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (official event name is the Permco Grand Prix) The club will provide the main dish. We ask that club members provide a side dish. Please let us know what you are bringing so that we don’t have triplets of the same thing. I have set the meeting time for 8:30 Sunday morning at the rest stop off I-71 North for those that want to caravan up. As I will be out of town for this event Shelby will be leading this and will provide additional details as the date gets closer. You will need to purchase a general admission ticket from Mid-Ohio in advance or at the gate to attend. Pricing for these can be found on the Mid-Ohio website. If you intend to go, please reply to the event post on our Facebook page.

As some of you already know, the ZCON event in Nashville is coming up this September. What you might not know is that leading up to ZCON there is a Z car Rally dubbed ZAAR (Z’s Across America Rally) the route is over 7,100 miles in length (if you drive the entire route) and is split up into 16 different segments. Segment #6 starts in York, PA runs through Columbus and ends in Indianapolis, IN, ZROC is partnering with ZCCC (the new club from Cincinnati) to host the Ohio part of the drive.
All the details of this segment are still being finalized but if you are interested in assisting ZROC with this event please let me know. If you want to drive along on segment #6, or any of the other segments for that matter, I am attaching a link which will take you directly to the ZAAR page on the ZCON site where you can see the entire route and register to participate. There is no cost to participate in the ZAAR event (other than your time, gas and food), but if you choose to go to ZCON there is a cost for that. If you want to participate in any or all of the segments for the ZAAR you must sign up and complete the waiver. Please note that the ZAAR is for Z’s and other Nissan family products only.
Interestingly, this rally event was last done in 1995 and had a similar route. I am also attaching a video clip of that event which is pretty cool to watch.
I hope to see most of you at the Dealer Heritage Drive this Saturday, May 17th.
