For those who have not participated in previous ZATTACKs, we promise a fun filled two days for Nissan fans and gear heads in general. This is also a great opportunity to meet members of the Nissan and Z car enthusiast community and also take in the sights and sounds of Music City USA, Nashville, Tennessee.

The events begin Friday afternoon, April 11 at 2 pm with a tour of the Nissan vehicle manufacturing facility in Smyrna, TN, or a tour of the Nissan powertrain plant at Decherd, TN. Tours are limited to 50 people at Smyrna and 30 at Decherd, so please register early.

Friday evening the Middle Tennessee Z Club will host a catered BBQ dinner and exclusive private tour at the Lane Motor Museum (http://lanemotormuseum.org/) in Nashville from 6:30 – 9 pm. The museum houses part of the Nissan Heritage Collection, most of which is not normally available for public viewing, in addition to their eclectic collection of 150+ mainly European automobiles, motorcycles and oddities. Space is limited for this private event, so please register early.

The ZATTACK 2014 People’s Choice Z Car Show will be Saturday, April 12 from 8 am to 3 pm in Franklin, TN at the Nissan Americas building, the U.S. corporate headquarters for Nissan North America, Inc. This is a Z only show.

All registered ZATTACK entrants receive a ballot to vote for the award winners. Awards are given for all six generations of Z cars in both Stock and Modified classes and the new Ultra-Modified class spanning all 6 generations of Z cars, as well as awards for Best in Show, and Diamond in the Rough.

Your Z car does not have to be a “show car” to enter. This is more about the people, participating and fun and representing the Z car by showing yours at Nissan’s corporate North American headquarters. We will also have raffles for products and services donated by our sponsors.

As part of the event, Nissan will also host an employee open house for their corporate and manufacturing personnel from Franklin headquarters, Smyrna and Decherd Tennessee, and a cruise-in for employees and the public to exhibit their cars open to all makes and models. We expect a huge turnout for this, and based on past events, the variety of cars will be fantastic.

In addition, Nissan will have an exhibit of new models, prototypes, show cars and Nissan Heritage Collection vehicles based on availability and corporate approval for public showing.

Spectators are welcome. This is a free and open to the public event. There is plenty of parking available. The event will be held rain or shine. In the event of rain, we will move the show into the parking garage.

The Nissan Americas building will be open during the event for morning coffee, lunch in the dining room at The Grill, and for rest room facilities.

In order to give back to the community, we will be collecting cash and non-perishable food donations and the proceeds from designated raffle items will go to the Nissan-sponsored Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee, which fights hunger in 46 counties. Each dollar donated provides 4 meals!

After the show, we will have a few hours of free time, and that evening, those who wish to will meet at the Athletic Club Sports Bar and Grill at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Franklin, near the Nissan Americas building for dinner, and to meet up with friends old and new. The Grill offers moderately priced meals in a great atmosphere.
