 Hey All! Here is the latest from YOUR club! * On Saturday, a large contingent of cars from ZCCR (and friends) and ZACNY cruised down to Watkins Glen International Raceway to celebrate the opening of another racing season. Under blue skies, the group took to the track for three spirited laps around the historic course. We capped off the day with lunch in the village on the shore of Seneca Lake. Thanks to Scott Kozlowski for coordinating this event. A new picture gallery is posted here, and if you've more photo's of the day please send them to Mike or me to be uploaded & shared. Speaking of photo's, check out the First event we snuck a couple ZCCR Z-Cars into this Spring, MotorMania 2010 ... and if you snap photo's of a future event, or if you've photo's of your personal car that you'd like to share, send them to our VP for posting in your club's web gallery! * Members have started inquiring about ZCCR's participation in the ZCCA International Z Convention in Nashville, TN.

While there will be no club arrangements to attend ZCON, I am sure that there will be groups of ZCCR members interested in going down together. Please feel free to send me an email for broadcast to the club to help coordinate this. This is the 40th anniversary of the Z and Nissan is holding the car show at its corporate headquarters near Nashville. The dates are Wed. July 28 to Sun. Aug. 1. Complete details can be found at www.zcon2010.com .

* Vice President Mike Noonan and I have a 1983 280ZX parts car that is being disassembled soon. It is a southern rust free car. The only parts not available are the engine, transmission and rear end. Sing out if there is a part you are looking for.
* Our BIG event, the All Japanese Car Show Weekend is shaping up to be special indeed! Please check the website regularly for the latest news and surprises on the event. We have some VERY SPECIAL things in store with more being added all the time! Take a look at the links on the website and REGISTER SOON to ensure your spot!

2010 All Japanese Car Show Week-end featuring Watkins Glen International |
|
Hey all!
ZCCR has set the dates for our 2010 "All Japanese Car Weekend"! The event will run from Friday July 9 to Sunday July 11.
(Please note that the dates have been CHANGED from any previously released information)
I am encouraging you to set these dates aside so you can join us for this very special summer Z event.
The schedule of events:
Friday July 9: Kickoff party for all participants. Refreshments provided free of charge.
Saturday July 10: The Third Annual "Jonathan Krenzer Memorial All Japanese Car Show". Spend the day at a multi-class car show featuring the best of Japan old and new. Saturday evening gather at a local establishment of fine food and drink to relive the events of the day.
Sunday July 11: Start the morning with a road rally through the twisty roads of New York's Finger Lakes region to the historic Watkins Glen International raceway. Participants will enjoy warm laps around the race course (they like to call them the 'Thunder Road' tours) in their cars then stay for a catered lunch in the WGI clubhouse. What is a lap around New York's Thunder Road really like? How about this: Follow the pace car down the FrontStretch into the Ninety, twist, climb and claw your way up through the Esses and onto the BackStretch, braking as you hit the Inner Loop and navigate the Carousel turn, then drop off the face of the earth into the depths of the turn-heavy Boot, climb your way out into Turn Ten, regain your senses and make a run for the finish line!
Here is a link to photos of the 2009 event.
Full details and pre-registration for the event will be available early next year. This is shaping up to be the biggest 2010 Z/Japanese car event in the northeast! Please share this information with your friends and club members and keep checking our website for the latest information.
Peaze,
