This was such an amazing Day

Thanks Ross, Kieth, Jim and Frank.

And to the man Bob Sharp for his awesome stories. Someone has to write a book on this man and his stories.

My daughter and I had the best time. I have to say she was very well behaved. I am so lucky.

Ross, We have to ask Bob if we can make more of those Bob Sharp Racing stickers for the top of the windshield. I would definitely by 5 at least.

I know i only have 3 Z's but i figure if my Wife will let me hang the photo I won of him in and his car in my living room then I can definitely hang that sticker on my front door :D

Thanks again for everything,

Jim and Glorianna

Jim it was great to zee you again and THANK YOU for bringing Glorianna! She was the brightest ray of sunshine in an already brilliant day! You're right ~ she was very well behaved. I hope she had some fun and your trip home was brief and safe.

Do you mean you KEPT that old poster/picture/painting thing of Bob Sharp??? :shock: Ross, did we ever intend that anyone should actually KEEP that thing when we raffled it at last year's Fall Outing? :lol:

hey brother phil, thanks for the great shots of all our cars and for your company today, and thanks to bob for setting us up for the laps around the historic and important fast track in the northeast. 60 mph might as well have been 160 mph to me, all i can say is wow!!!! next year we need to have double the members to attend this event. this brings us all together closer than ever before. great day, smile on franks' face as he pulled up, priceless!!!!!!!! ross, thanks for leading the club in the right direction. look on all the other club websites, they don't compare to what we have, i am proud to be a member of ctzcc. enjoy the ride ! mike

Great pics Keith, I especially like the one of you travelling on the highway - you must have had a long arm to get that shot! We really dodged a bullet weather-wise. It is all rain today up in RI.

Remember I tossed my camera over to you at 80mph, you took the shot and tossed it back....at least that is the story I am going with.....

Jim,

Thanks for posting the pics. Glorianna loves them, Oh yeah, me too.

She kept asking for me to go faster. That's not a good sign of things to come :D

Thanks again,
Jim & Glorianna Jackson

Great time yesterday. My Dad and I had a ball. Thanks to Bob, Ross, Frank, and all for getting this together. Stories from Bob, the laps, it was all a blast.

And great pics from everyone so far. My Dad put together this quick little photomontage from the pics he snapped yesterday.

Frank - congrats on the debut of #2807. That was a great sight to see you pulling in...flanked by the paparazzi!

Now if next year, we could also do an afternoon time trial/autocross on the infield track...well that'd be a hoot. :idea: :wink:

Cheers,
Colin

Well, I've had some pretty great times with this Club in the past year and a half, but this event really blew me away. The weather was perfect, we fielded 34 cars (Al B's ate itself up on the way from RI and didn't make it :cry:), Bob Sharp was in great form and I finally got to prove to this Club that I really do qualify for membership by owning a Z car.

THANKS, everyone, for that rouZing welcome when I pulled in! I will never forget that, and y'all put a tear of joy into #02807's headlamps.

We were such a spectacle, we had FERRARI owners stopping to photograph the Long Line of Zees. They were envious, I'm sure.

It was great to zee everyone together in such an electric environment, laughing and smiling and sharing the brotherhood. Bob gave perhaps the best class of his career, THEN he took us all out onto the race track and led us thru the course. As we passed the pits I saw Ferrari owners and pit crews stop working and watch us go past.

Our members drove here from as far away as New York City, Rhode Island, Long Island NY and GEORGIA!!! To be pointed at by Ferrari pit crews as you chase Bob Sharp's GT-R around Lime Rock Racetrack in your Z car makes any length roadtrip worthwhile!

PreZident Ross, you have created the very best car club anyone could ask for. How you manage to get us this much fun for free is an amaZing mystery.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.


Z ya next time, for sure!
Frank T
