ZROC

I know most Z’s will still be in storage. But it’s time for us to meet again …

We have our first ZROC meeting of the new year scheduled for Saturday Feb 4 at 12:00 PM at Barley’s Smokehouse, 1130 Dublin Road
This is an important annual meeting whereby new offices are elected. We also review event suggestions, club recommendations, how do we grow the club, benefits of club membership, etc.

It’s very helpful to get off to a good start with high participation to make our club fun for us all. Therefore, I hope you can make this meeting.

Thank you Jim Corbett for organizing this event.

(From our Facebook Event) Well the response at the last Grand Prix Karting was great. The Sunday “Full Course” track and the competition was pretty awesome too!

So as I had said, let’s check out the other new Electric Kart Track on the West Side….so I went out and did the visit. Looks like it going to be a nice venue….someday! It needs to grow a bit and give drivers a little more straightaway, a lot more track and that’s all promised by Summer……sooooo. Back to the Grand Prix Karting on Alum Creek for another event.

This time we turned it up a notch….and its going to make you reach a little deeper in to the pocket…but I’m sure that everyone who ran the last time is ready to go again and will agree it was about as much fun as you can have indoors.

We’ve set up a three run event. The first session will be a practice, the second session will be qualifying for the main and third event….a super sprint..”Standing Start” set up to determine the ZROC Karting King.

Cost for the three session event is $55.00 and everyone pays their entry. Podium finish and a Trophy for the winner.

Now there’s a little issue that everyone will need to know….the Standing Start makes that first lap a bit challenging. They don’t use this method any longer as there were too many wrecks at the beginning…but I convinced them that we’d be respectful…and anyone who cause a wreck at the start and first lap will be “going to the trailer” and assessed a 1 lap penalty…taking you out of the winning. It racing not wrecking…we’ll all have to find a way by….later in the race.

So please let us know as there’s a limited amount of space, and it’s first come first serve. The count is at 5…so we’re over 25% full!

If you have questions call Jim Corbett. 570-9268

PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY ENOUGH TO GET REGISTERED!

Several of us escaped the frigid weather to enjoy the indoor karts at Grand Prix Karting on Sunday evening.  The indoor track proved to be just what we needed to get some winter driving fun under our belts.  The karts were fast and a good time was had by all.  Here are some of the photos that were shared.

ZROC’s Summer finished on a high note.  The club had 3 well-attended driving events and had good turnouts for the last 2 races (Indy 200 and Nationwide series) held at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.  We also had a great showing at the ZSpeed Performance open house hosted by Joe Allison, to showcase his new shop in the Dayton area.  As fall arrived, ZROC members attended the Z Nationals hosted by Z1 Motorsports, just outside of Atlanta.  We also had our, now famous, Hocking Hills drive to finish out the official club driving events for the year.  check out ZROC’s event schedule at http://www.zroc.org or our Facebook group page.
