Tidewater Z show May 17th, CARAVAN for Richmond Va Z's....
 
Here is the shows info........
The Tidewater Z Car Club will hold its 12th Annual Car Show at POMOCO Nissan in Hampton, VA on May 17th. This is a Nissan Only show centered around the many years of the Z Car, last year 2nd place in Street Mod was taken by someone from My350z.com so bring your car out and let it shine. There were 45 entries from TZCC, Z Car Association of Richmond, Emerald City Z Club, and faithful Ken Lewis of the New England Z Car Club last year. The weather was perfect for the show, just enough sun but cool enough to enjoy the day.

The Food Banks of the Peninsula and Southside were once again the beneficiaries of the proceeds. With Mike Kirsh as The Auctioneer, and from the food sales, TZCC raised about $1,500.00, and this year we hope to double that number. There are many different catagories to fit into so if your car is stock, a race car, or just plain show there is something for you.

CARAVAN fro Richmond....
Meet up at Chicago Uno Grill parking lot at the Airport Exit off I-64, map is below at the link...

If your up for the caravan post up or show up, I will be taking pics while drive with my wife of everyones Z as we caravan.

TZCCVA May 6, 2008 03:06 PM

Look forward to seeing you guys do you know about how many cars you all are going to have showing and how many Z's are coming, the reason I ask is if we have people coming to spectate I dont want to run into the problem we ran into last year where the nice spectator Z's had to park in the parkinglot next to the dealership if I get numbers I can set up a parking area and permits for those cars.

Thanks
See you there

Sorry man, I'll be busy nursing a hangover at ZDAYZ. :d_buddy:

Sleepy-z May 6, 2008 03:20 PM

No idea on how many cars, just sent the emails out now, I will start a list if I get a lot of responses from the emails and other sites this is posted at.


BTW I feel ya, I wanta go to ZDAYZ but damn gas prices are keeping me from going far lately.

MrKaira May 6, 2008 05:10 PM

I would be going to ZDAYZ but I have to be in Baltimore the night before. I'm down to caravan there, but I don't know yet if I can make it. I'm going up there for my buddy's bachelor party (it will be tame), we might go to some bars later, but if thats the case and I stay up in MD I doubt I will make it. If I come home that night then I should be good to go.

TZCCVA May 6, 2008 05:46 PM

Hope to see you there would love to see your whip

PumpedVA May 7, 2008 07:36 AM

I really want to come but 9am on a SAT? Have to give this some thought

Sleepy-z May 7, 2008 12:29 PM

Sorry bout the early run, I have never driven east of richmond since i moved here and mapquest came out to 1hour 10 mins, show starts at 10am so I figured after talking in the parking lot and driving we would get there 1000-1030. I figured those who entered the show would want to get there to detail theres a little, personally I am from cali and I would just show later on, I dont know how everyone is out here yet about times.

Sleepy-z May 7, 2008 01:21 PM

Well if it matters I got 2 240z's, a z31 and 2 z32 myself incuded. But from my experience that doesn't mean they will show, but thats a decent start.

FORZWIN May 7, 2008 01:53 PM

I'm not much for I-64 but what the hell, I'll cruise down. Not sure I want to enter the show, but I would appreciate a secluded place to park my beloved.

Sleepy-z May 7, 2008 02:51 PM

If you know a better route please go for it, I dont know my way there and hoped someone else would lead so I can roam and do photos of each car on the highway.
This is what I did in norcal all the time for our caravan becuase driving is too easy so I steer with the knees(im tall), some norcal friends of mine.....
Cheapest camera you can own but it works

That's just the thing, I live south of most of you and I don't favor the highway, usually fall asleep lol! I know a good backroad route there, but that defeats the photoshoot opportunity. What you have is probably the best way via the highway. Hopefully we can talk a few others into joining up, or there are going to be a lot of pics of a brickyard Z and a mint Z32, which wouldn't be a bad thing :thumbup:

MrKaira May 7, 2008 03:01 PM

there are other ways but it would take forever because of the speed limit and stop lights. 64 at that time of the morning on a Saturday shouldn't be bad.

TZCCVA May 7, 2008 03:15 PM

Pomoco Nissan is directly off the freeway too, so 64 is pretty much the easiest route.

Well... you would think that but I left Ricmond last year, at about 8:30am, and thetraffic was horrendous. It took over 2 1/2 hrs to get there and the traffic getting back was worse.

I thoroughly enjoyed the meet and the people were great.

Sleepy-z May 7, 2008 03:26 PM

Yeah I have yet to actually see traffic here so I dont know what to expect heading towards the beach, first time for me.

For some reason my Z just isn't as exciting on the wide open highway :D. But yea, 64 would be the most convenient hassle-free way of getting us all there together...unless of course it's a really nice day and everyone is headed to the beach area, I'm sure the traffic here can't be much worse than cali, but it's irritatinf none-the-less. It will be good times either way
