HIZTORY - ZCCR has been having fun for a full Decade Now |
|
Who would have guessed! This fine car club and friendship maker has been cruising the streets of Rochester, the 'Burbs, the Finger Lakes, Buffalo & beyond for a full decade now. Many stories have been told, many memories made, and for sure many Z-Car tips & tricks passed along over all that time. If you've a moment or two to share what you recall from the early dayz please contact our ever vigilant Membership Director Frank McGinley and just maybe your fond thoughts will end up in a front-page NEWZ article all about how ZCCR started and grew into the organization that prospers today!
The first ever ZCCR Annual Picnic Photo can be found here.
Happy 10th Baby, can't wait to get back on the streets and lay down some more exhilerating miles with the other ZCARNUTZ of Rochester!
Best Regards,
Mike Noonan

We've turned the corner in the winter season, more than halfway gone and that very small light you see at the end of the tunnel is the 2010 ZCCR driving season!
To celebrate the sprint to the winter finish line, ZCCR once again presents our annual GROUNDHOG PARTY next Sunday February 7! This year we are once again at the lodge at Fellows Road Park in Perinton/Fairport from 11am to 4pm. The lodge is located at 499 Fellows Road, see location 5 at this link).
Highlights this year are:
* The annual Chili Cook-Off! WHO has the best chili and can take home the title for 2010? Can Bob Anderson successfully defend his 2009 title? Who has the Rolaids? Participant voting on what chili is best, a special prize to the winner! All invited to participate, bring out your best!
* Presentation of the 2009 ZCCR Member of the Year award! This honor is bestowed on the ZCCR member who went above and beyond the call of duty in the past year to promote the club, fellowship and the Z philospohy of "Love Cars, Love People, Love Life".
* Will "Phil the Groundhog" see his shadow and doom us to 6 more weeks of winter OR will he come out and enjoy some chili and give us an early spring?
Please bring a dish to pass (even if you don't participate in the chili contest). Hot and cold beverage to be provided by ZCCR. Come enjoy a roaring fire and catch up with your frends. Let's thaw out the winter and look forward to ZCCR's BEST year ever!

What a DAY !!! |
|
The weather God's showered the rays of the mighty Apollo down upon us in such multitude that we sit here, post-cruise, in a state of bliss so strong that winters' harshness may never penetrate our new found aura!
Oh, of course ... in English please! Wow, did we have a brilliant day to cruise the heart of the Finger Lakes! Crystal clear powder blue skies, gentle cooling breezes, and colors, my goodness, the colors of Fall were simply outstanding. ZCCR's members and guests found perfection on this years Fall Foliage Cruise - shopping for the ladies, beer tasting for the gentlemen, sweets and treats at the pumpkin stand, vista's from the high-plateau overlook that screamed AmaZZZing, a cruise route to die for ... I've got to tell you this gang went home with such large smiles that we think they'll weather putting their Z's away shortly in fine fashion.
All together we had 22 participants and a doZen cars merge together for a fine, fine day. We traced the shores of Canandaigua Lake, we ran the belly of Italy Valley, we twisted, turned and doubled-back on switchbacks that even confounded the hot-stuff 'Glen' driver we had tagging along (his knickname is 'Brickyard' and his navigator said she'd never seen him scoot soooo-fast past upcoming turns before - seems that when he twists that Z of his more than 270 degrees around a corner his compass goes into overdrive and his lead-foot tromps down even harder than normal ;-)
The cars ... roadsters, coupes, classics and new-style, modified, stock ... they were all represented and then some ... we even collected a Datsun pick-up and the awesome GT-(NOT2)40 super car of 'Doc' Robbins for our jaunt through the hills.
You missed a special day if you didn't make this cruise, but we'll give you another shot at striking out on your own special-day if you'll go here and download the Fall Foliage cruise instructions and map that we've now posted.
The next Zuper Special event up for your maximum enjoyment will be the club's Holiday Party at Mickey Finn's Station One restaurant in Victor ... but you'll have to wait for December for that hot-time. For now get that Z outta the barn, get the motor revvin' and hit the highways near home ... THIS is the optimum time to be out with your honey and seeing the countryside through the windshield of your favorite sports car!
OK, I've gotta go now, the temperatures are dipping, the frost is forming, and the cider is simmering ... I'm going straight to the hot tub and I'm gonna slip in, close my eyes, get back behind the wheel of my garage queen and I'm gonna relive the splendor of our ride in the country again and again!
Hope to see you all soon,
Mike Noonan
