This message is going to Current and Past Members & Show Participants:

The New Jersey Z Car Club is holding its 11th Annual Z Car Show on Saturday, August 29th. (In case of rain, the show will be moved to the following day). The show will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn in Bridgewater , NJ . This is the same location as the past 3 years. See the attached flyer for additional details.

Once again Somerset Nissan is sponsoring us for this year’s event. In appreciation for Somerset Nissan's continued support, we are offering free registration to car owners who purchased their vehicles through Somerset Nissan. The car owners just need to bring some kind of proof that they purchased their car there.

We are expecting a large turn-out of cars for the show! As in the past, we should have cars coming in from several states including CT, PA, MD and NY. For those of you who own Datsun Roadsters or GTRs, we are also welcoming/allowing these vehicles to register for the show. We will put them into the Ultra Mod Class. This will be a Peoples Choice show, so we are stretching the rules a little!! We will also be offering both Stock and Street Modified classes for this year’s event.

We will be giving out free Z T-Shirts to the 1st 75 people to register on the day of the show. We hope to run our car merchandise raffle again, 50/50, and possible bocce contest.

More information and updates to follow. Hope to see everyone at the Show!!!!

Is anyone planning on heading to the show from CT? If I don't have to work I'll probably head on down.

I want to attend this with my Z if possible. The NJZCC has been one of our strongest allies during the past year, and they made a tremendous showing at our first annual Z Car show last July. It would be fair for us to return the gesture, and walk off with all their trophies!

I'm up for a road trip. Are we going to convoy?

My heart pains me! I know when this car is ready... a clean sweep of street modified Z31.



I better see a bunch of pics from this event or I'll be very put out.

Anyone know if this is taking place or not? Supposed to be T-storms and heavy downpurs all weekend according to the forecasts... Sucks...

Latest Update on Show from Peter Riccardi:

To All Z Club Members & Non Members:

Just a follow to to the show but most of the details are below. Couple things to add. The rain date is Sunday just in case we get a downpour. Last I checked it looked to be a sunny day.

We will have a new GTR at the show, compliments of Somerset Nissan; that ought to be nice since Ralph Ciccione GTR will not be there. Looks like we will have quite a few 280Z's this year based on what I'm hearing. The Z32 class still rules as far as the number of cars. The Z 31's & 350Z's are not to far behind. Anyway, let's remember this is a fun day for the Z people so don't worry about the condition of the car just bring it! And have a good time....

OK, so let's get a caravan going! The show is roughly 100 miles from my house in Darien and it typically takes me 2 hours. For anyone planning to go that is North of me, let's plan to meet at my house at 7:30am. That will get us to the show at roughly 9:30 or will allow us to pick up some others along the way and still get there by 10:00am. Please add to this three if you want to meet at my house or somewhere south of Darien.

Going: Ross Williams

Hey Tom,

Don't you know that we pay for the length of each post? Ross

Well, I smoked the fusebox on my Z last night, so I won't be attending this. My new 90amp alternator was too much for the stock system. I've ordered an MSA blade-type upgrade but it won't be in before this event. If I struggle hard I can get it back on the road in time for our own show

Frank

Well, that certainly is bad news Frank. Get working #2807 needs to make the club show!!

Phil

Put it on my tab Ross.... Help Frank fix that fuse box, those that didn't see his car will still be thinking it doesn't exist.....
