ZCCR Update 5-7-12

Hey All! Here is the latest from ZCCR:

* THE NEXT ZCCR event is this Saturday May 12, 9am to 2pm. Join us for the GREAT ZCCR SPRING SWAP MEET! This year we are happy to have the event hosted by the crew at Red Eye Imports/Ztek mfg., located at 15 McArdle Street in Rochester, 14611 (McArdle is located between Mt. Read Blvd just north of Buffalo Rd. and Glide St.) and the web site is redeyeperformance.com .

This is your chance to BUY/SELL/TRADE Z parts and accessories! Finish that project! Find that elusive part! Get rid of those parts in your garage! Send out your WANT LIST beforehand and let's get those parts moving! Red Eye/Ztek will have some domos running on the CNC machines and a Z32 Straman will be getting reassembled. Other specialty Nissans will be on display for all to see.

The ZpartZ crew has a TON of Z parts of all generations available, so shoot me an email if you have something specific that you are looking for and I will bring it to the swap meet!

* It is with much sadness that I report to those of you who don't already know the passing of New York Z Car Club member Tommy Sullivan and his family in a tragic fire at his home in Carmel NY this past week. Tom was a Captain in the Larchmount NY police department and long time Z fan. His ride was Todd Owlett's former car, a pristine 1978 280Z that wore the plates "SULLYS Z". Tom's son Tom Jr. was the only survivor of this tragedy. ZCCR will be making a donation to a memorial fund to benefit Tom Jr. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.

* If you participated in the past Street Machines of Rochester Outdoor Car Show, you should have gotten a registration form in the mail for the show coming up on June 10. Pre-register early to avoid waiting in long lines at the show. This is one of ZCCR's best attended events, so plan on being there again this year!

That's it for now, hope to Z you soon!

ZCCR Update 4-30-12

Hey All! Here is the latest from ZCCR:

* This past Saturday ZCCR was hosted by the crew at WILSON PERFORMANCE to a DYNO DAY at their facility. A huge gang of ZCCRers turned out to check out the action. Quite a few were curious to see how much horsepower and torque their car actually produced, so on the Dyno they went! The state of the art equipment at Wilson accurately mapped the performance of several Zs, and a Mustang or two, and most everyone was pleasantly surprised with the results. Prizes were given for highest HP, most "optimistic" HP and most accurate HP. A BIG THANK YOU to Rick Wilson and his staff for hosting us to this fun event. I encourage you to check out Wilson Performance to get your car tuned to it's potential. A few pics attached.

* There is ONE slot still available to join us for our trip to the Carlisle All Import Nationals in Carlisle PA form May 18-20. A hearty crew of ZCCR ZcarnutZ are again partaking in this annual event. Over 2000 imports on display! We stay at the wonderful Staybridge Suites in nearby Harrisburg, 3 beds to a room, cost shared equally. Email me for more details.

* THE NEXT ZCCR event is on Saturday May 12. Join us for the GREAT ZCCR SPRING SWAP MEET! This year we are happy to have the event hosted by the crew at Red Eye Imports/Ztek mfg., located at 15 McArdle Street in Rochester, 14611 (McArdle is located between Mt.

* Our next event after the Dyno Day will be ZCCR's Annual Spring Swap Meet on Saturday May 12, 9am-2pm. The crew at Red Eye Imports/Ztek mfg. is hosting our Swap Meet this year in conjunction with an Open House so you can all see what great performance options and accessories they offer.

Morning Club! It's past 6AM Sunday April 22nd, rain is still falling in the Bristol Hills, and we even have the random white flakes appearing occasionally, roads are soaked, temps of 35-37F ... NOT a good day for fun travels to, or fun experiences at "the Glen". ZCCR will NOT be participating in opening week-end at Watkins Glen International Race Track today. Let's look forward to getting together NEXT Saturday when we hold Dyno-Day 2012 at:

THUNDER ROAD Sunday April 22nd !!!

THUNDER ROAD! Our First Driving Event of the year is this Sunday April 22! Join us for a cruise to Watkins Glen International to enjoy Opening Day 2012! This is your chance to take your car on the world famous race track at WGI. For only $25 per car, you can experience the twists, turns, straights and elevation changes of this historic track. Stop for lunch/shopping in Watkins Glen village after.

MEET for coffee and at Bruegger's Bagel Cafe, 707-709 Pittsford Victor Rd, Pittsford, NY 14534, located right in the Bushnell's Basin business district. Meet between 8-8:45am.

DEPARTURE will be at 9am from the Park & Ride lot just up the road on Rt. 96 at the I-490 exit.

BONUS!! This from Watkins Glen International:

"This weekend, proceeds are to support JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation ) in their search to end type 1 diabetes for children. Last year, mother nature didn’t cooperate at JDRF’s expense –

We realize the less than favorable forecast may put many club owners on the fence about driving down for Opening Weekend – so we would like to sweeten your deal:

Any car club member that attends the weekend and pays for a lap around the track will receive a voucher for ONE free Thunder Road Tour ( 3 laps ) that can be redeemed anytime this year per our track schedule. I know many of you plan group visits to the track for this later in the year – for your support this weekend for a great cause, we would like to say thank you."

So there you have it! A great springtime cruise in your Z, 3 laps around the race track, lunch/shopping in scenic Watkins Glen Village AND 3 more laps at the track in the future for FREE!

Can't beat that!
Z U THERE.
