To all Z enthusiasts:

How many of you would be interested in having an annual 350Z celebration at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY? The NCM hosts many car club events (Porsche, Camaro & Firebird) and I believe that the Z enthusiasts would really have a great time. I am a lifetime member of the museum and I have been in contact with Adam (from the museum) about hosting an event. The responses from this forum will help determine whether or not the event would be successful. For more information about the museum visit thier web site, National Corvette Museum. If you have any questions please feel free to email me. I have attended many events at the NCM and love going. Please post any feedback about this idea.

Thanks!

Andrea

 

I think it would be a great idea!!! (Once I own my own Z I would attend... )

 

I would definitely attend. Great idea. Anyone else out there want to attend? Thanks.

 

Excellent idea, I've actually been looking for an excuse to go to the Corvette Museaum- however, my vacation time is limited, and if I do anything extended w/ cars this year, it's going to be the National Z Car Convention- more information here: http://www.zccne.addr.com/Convention_2003/index.htm Event is in October- I went to the 1997 National Z Car Convention - had a blast - this one will be excellent too...

Sounds great to me.

 

Thank you for the great replies!

ethan84ae thank you for the info. on the other Z event! I wasn't aware of any. I will be sure to check out the site about it.

Thanks again.

Just up the road from Nashville, and I've never been to the Vette Museum. I'd probably go.

 

I am there! The Middle Tennessee Z Club did a Z caravan up there this year and it was a blast. For those of you who have never been, it is a very nice collection and is of great value to all automotive enthusiasts.

 

I am interested in attending. It's a nice drive north and the museum is really nice. Stopped there several years ago with my son.

 

I'd be there in a heartbeat.

 

Anyone else interested?

 

I've always wanted to see where and how Corvettes are born. However, this may be an ignorant question, but how safe would imports be from vandalism, etc.? I hear horror stories from fellow 300 owners in Detroit who are forced to sell their Z because they're scared about import-hate vandalism.

If anything, you should get the Middle Tennessee Z Club to petition ZCCA to host next year's national Z convention there. Last year's Z convention was held in San Antonio and this year's Z convention will be held in New Hampshire, IIRC.

Either way, I'd be interested and if all else fails, I'd fly or drive in my SE-R.

I doubt that a NCM event would include vandalism never know though. Count me in as I have been past there many times but have alway been headed to a race. It would be nice to vist and check out all the vetts. After all they love to go fast around corners too!

If the Middle Tenn Z Car wants to, lets have a scouting party go up there to check out the natives. I'm game. Course every body knows the best way to get there is up through the middle of Ky.
65 is boring.

 

There should not be any threat for any type of vehicles there. Bowling Green, KY is a small city (only 2 exits long). People are use to big car events being held there. It is amazing to me that the locals still come by the vette events even though they live in "vette city". Thanks for you feedback.

Maybe we can get it hosted at the Nashville Superspeedway. It has a 1.8 road course in it and the facilities are very good. I must admit it is in the middle of nowhere but is can be accessed from Nashville in less than 30min on a none race day.

 

That is a good idea too. The NCM holds many vette events year round. It would be cool for the Middle Tennessee Z Club to visit one of the events. The vette owners would love checking out the Z's and vice versa.

 

Although our 350Zs were born in Japan, NISSAN has a plant (Altimas, Frontiers, Xterras) just south of Nashville so maybe our car company would be intrested in hosting such an event at the Nashville Speedway or other location.

What do you think?

 

We have a MTZC meeting thursday. I will bring all of this up to see what we can do. Does anyone who can't attend have any specific issues they want us to try to tackle. PM me if necessary. And for those MTZC members of you who dont know. . .my non-board name is Adam! Next time I see you please (re)introduce yourself with both your screen name and your real name!

 

This sounds great. I also talked with Adam from the NCM again today and he said that the replies look great. He will be in touch with me about an event. Thanks.

 

Pun?
