Arrow photos from the Twin Cities Z Club rally event

A la The Amazing Race (sort of), my wife set this up for the club. She's been wanting to do this for a while, so we finally got around to rounding up some enthusiasts. The best part was when a couple of ladies showed up in a minivan and actually made it to the finish line first (but did not win the overall contest). They were good sports and really enjoyed the event.

We had the van, a 370Z, a 300ZXTT, and the rest were 350Z's.

You would have had a great time. The after party was fun, too! The stories had me cracking up.

Oh, and the winner is Chris and his dad. I didn't realize it until they were leaving, but it was the dad's car they were driving. It wasn't the other Z that Ryan and I saw at the ZOOM meeting earlier this month.

Chis and Phil got a nice trophy (thanks to Sam).

Had so much fun today, what a blast. That was a cool trophy that Sam made. Would be kind of cool to get something like that for all the Z club members, Id kick in a few bucks for one.

I should take a photo of the scoreboard and post it up. I still can't believe the minivan came back to the house first and we got 3rd or 4th place.

It's all about the navigator...

DAMN this looks like fun!!! i'm so jealous. i wish i was more involved with the progress of this, but selling my car had sidetracked me from forums and everything. I woulda had so much fun with this. Glad the turnout was decent, and that trophy is awesome.

Mad respect for planning this and following up with it!! NEXT TIME!!
