Default 17th Annual National Z Convention June 14-19th

Not sure if any one was checking Yuichi's "Upcoming SoCal Events" thread so I wanted to give this event a thread of it's own. I know a few are already planning on going and want to see who else is in. This will be a huge gathering with all years of Z's. This event is on the west coast this year so we should all take advantage and make the trip. Yuichi and I will be posting details as they come along. If you plan to make the trip let us know.

There will probably be a few caravans going on different days. My personal plan is to drive down either Wed night or early Thurs. to attend the track event at Willow Springs (yes, the big track). Auto X will also be held at the smaller Streets of Willow. Both events will be at extremely reduced prices ($100 for the big track, $35 Streets).

If you're not interested in the track days you should at least plan to attend the massive show at NNA headquarters. Married guys and guys with girlfriends. Bring the significant others along and have a mini vacation in LA.

Can't make it. We're not allowed to take more than 2 days off in a row during the last month of any quarter.

I plan on attending this one. Was going to go to the other Z National last weekend, but this one seems bigger and badder. Is anyone planning on group hotel reservations?

What shirt are you referring to Rie? If it's the SHIFT_norcal shirt, then you'll have to wait as plans for production are just beginning (discussed on another thread)... but rest assured you'll be reserved one

If it's (the shirt) for this Z National Convention, I think you just have to pay the fee in order to receive a shirt amongst a myriad of other things

Cool- Hope we get a chance to meet up.

SHIFT_norcal stickers would be cool for this event...

"Registration (includes registration package, T-shirt, 1 car in show, opening reception/closing banquet) is $65 through May 1st. $85 after that. "


Yuichi, any words on the group discount? since we only have until tomorrow for the $65 rate?

Henry- I think yuichi was referring to the hotel when he mentioned group rates. Registration is $65 through May 1st. $85 after that. To the best of my knowledge there are no "group rates" for registration.
