I simply can't miss this.

And Phil Parent, please come with me and bring your camera! It will be a chance to photoshoot car#6 and Bob's other GT/U carz, as well as a chance to zee my #02807 parked beside two other 1970 240Zs, which were all sold off the same Honolulu showroom floor together in the summer of 1970.

Ok, I finally wrote this on the calender. GPS says 7 hours via I90.

I suspect we should also gather Tom Wasney and Mike Englehardt somewhere along the way there, but we haven't heard from them yet.

So glad to hear that some of our friends from CTZCC are making plans to join us! Believe me, this will be well worth the trip, we have lots planned with the weekend capped off with the visit to Sharpsite Racing and Doc Robbins' collection of historic Datsun race cars. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. Interest in the All Japanese Classic Car Show on Saturday is building every day, we expect over 200 cool rides on display.

Keep checking www.zccr.net for the latest newz and information. Feel free to email me at zcarnut@hotmail.com if you have any questions.

By the way, it's an EASY drive, I90 all the way. Should be less than 7 hours too...

From John Taddonio:

Hello All!

Well, our All Japanese Classic Car Weekend is fast approaching, now a little over 3 weeks away! Interest is building far and wide with participants coming from all over the northeast and Canada. The car show on Saturday July 18 at Hoselton Nissan is sure to be something special, with a huge variety of Japanese makes, models and vintages.

As many of you know, ZCCR uses these events every year to assist a local cause. This year the beneficiary of our event is Rochester Police Officer Anthony DiPonzio, who was shot in the head last January while doing his job protecting you and the community. Please follow the link below and play the video clip to get the latest on his recovery and to get a better idea of who this this year's car show will help:

http://rochesterhomepage.net/content/video/?cid=100621

Not all of the costs incurred by the DiPonzio family are covered by insurance. Our donation to the Rochester Police Locust Club's Anthony DiPonzio Fund will help the family cope with Tony's extensive rehabilitation and related costs.

REMEMBER, the car show is only $10! Please check our website at www.zccr.net for the latest information on hotels and the weekend events. I hope all of you generous ZCCR members & friends turn out to help and ENJOY THE SHOW!

11p 18jul In the time honored spur-of-the-moment tradition of all great road trips,a decision is made to attend the Sharpsite soiree' in Webster,Ny which will take place the following am.

3a 19jul After a 3hr power nap,a lone Ctzcar departs far southeast Ct and speeds west into the night;thru the Berkshires,over the Adirondacks,etc.

9:30a 19jul Arrive/rendezvous w/ ZCCR and CTZCC member Paul Mackin(the only other CTZCCer to attend). They seem a good bunch,almost as crazy as us.

10:30a jul19 Arrive 'Doc Robbins Working Shrine to Significant Z-Car History'. After picking up mouth from floor and hyperventilating,self-guided tour of facility ensues. Touch '06' Catch breath. Raptly listen to presentaion by The Doc and right hand guy Shawn Prichthard. Ask questions,get them to fire off one of the Zs: sweetest 110 octane symphony heard in some time.

noon 19jul Depart for waterfront lunch as 3rd in a group of 3;Doc in his gorgeous black Ford GT,ZCCR Activitiies Director Mike Yendreski in his very clean (and fast) '75. Spontaneous decision made by Doc & Mike to 'try and lose the new guy down river road' on the way to lunch. This is not allowed to happen[img].

2p 19jul Walk out of lunch and realize Niagra Falls is only 90min further west,so what the hell,why not? (but that's another story)[/img][/b]

Thanks for going and representing us! But you're wrong; there were actually FOUR CTZCC members there: You, Paul, ZCCR President John Taddonio, and car #6 owner Doc Robbins

You were in good company, brother.
(and THANKS for not letting them lose you!)

Frank

I stand corrected,but no less in awe of the experience...

I knew we should of put that seat belt back in the Z. I got the same pic of the orange Z going down the hi-way too, how about that. What a bunch of nice Z's, a moment to chearish.

So glad that our brothers and sisters from CT enjoyed the experience. It was a great time had by all! Pics are posted in our website gallery at www.zccr.net

NEXT YEAR, set aside the last weekend in July (date pending) for another ZCCR ALL JAPANESE CLASSIC CAR WEEKEND. In the works are laps at Watkins Glen for participants! You heard me right, laps at the historic Watkins Glen International. The three days will again consist of a Friday eventing kickoff party, Saturday HUGE All Japanese Car Show, a Saturday night dinner at a fine establishment and a Sunday morning road rally to the Glen.

Spread the word! We want more of you to join us! Rest assured, it will be well worth it!

John, I had a great time from the moment I arrived. I knew no one, but in time knew all, by face of course, and the Z they had, names are another journey. I highly encourage ctzcc members to make it to the one next year. I forgot how beautiful Watkins Glen is, as thats the way I drove back, so I can't wait. I'm already planning. So again, thank you for such an inviting event, and what a great club you have, with a great bunch of people.....hey, just like our club. The journey on Sunday was the best part, I still get goose bumps looking at my private pictures, this was a Z mans journey of a lifetime. (and after finally catching up to all the Z cars, that Bay Burger was awesome) So until next time........"Enjoy the Ride" ps.......hope some of the zccr members can make the Lime Rock event tomorrow.......I'll be there in something a little faster than my truck. "Z" forever, Paul.
