Guys yeah I know some things fell thru. I think you'll find it a totaly differnt experience from now on.
We've always held the show at the hotel, this year we are looking at a totaly different venue. If I got into the details of this and that and what and why I'd probably hurt someones feeling and I won't do that.
There are several drives this year and you can run them anytime you choose.
The Arkansas Group is hosting the Friday drive which is a very long run. It has been set up for those not going to the drag strip. Those going to the strip, there will be a drive to the strip.
Last year there were several who ran the drive on Saturday, which any run can be driven at your leisure and at your choice.

Back to your question, yes that was me. My vert had a bad water pump and didn't make it. This year both the vert and the wife's 35th will be there.
Professional, I had the vert the day we ran to Mountian Home. I think you'll be very surprised the next time you see the vert.

Please don't let a bad taste guide your entire experience at Branson. Try us again and I think you'll find it totaly different.
Check out the New Web Site @ www.bransonzfest.com
For ajones, check this thread on the bzf forum for caravans leaving from different locations. I'll be leaving out of Springdale on Wed the 9th around noon.

At one time there was a group in NW Ark, it fell the wayside. We had a couple people from Ft. Smith. I'm a member of the AZCC group out of Central Ark, ZOOM out of southern Missouri and North Arkansas and also a memebr of the Nebraska group.

Oh yeah and I believe the car show at Branson this year has a combination of trophies, plaques and certificates. I think they've figured in approx 63 trophies and plaques.

For those in NW Arkansas, I'm located in Springdale at the Oasis Car Wash on 265 just across from the Jones Center for Families. Drop in and say Hi.

Hey guys there are alot of us around. We have had a club since 1999. Some people come and go but there is a core group of us that do things every year. We have fun-runs, car shows, drag racing, scca events, tech days, club picnics, christmas and new year's parties, etc. Check us out. www.azcc.ww4.us/phpBB2 We have several 350z owners. All year Z's actually.

As for Branson last year it wasn't the best. But this year it has been revamped for its 5th year. We will be back. Car show will be corrected and there are 2 scheduled drives I belive. Plus other events. I think the branson website is up now.

Did I meet you at an audio show in Fayetteville last year?

Another 300zx club I didn't mention that I am a member of is in New Zealand. Hopefully you'll see a little track write up from New Zealand in the next Nissan Sport Magazine.

Not to stoke any one person's fire, but Steve Fowler has to be the most active/knowledgeable/friendly Z fan in Arkansas.

Actually far from it, but I do appreciate the complement. I pull my knowledge from all my friends around me. Anytime I have a problem I can call one of many people to help me out. That's all part of the family we've formed with the Z at it's center.
I have formed many friendships, met 100's of people from around the world all because we have one central interest and that is the legacy of the Z car.

I met a guy in San Fransico, he was from Singapore. He has a TT and was at the Nissan 360 show. Don't know a lot about the guy but he traveled with 3 bodyguards. Spent a couple hours traveling on the trollies and had a great conversation. One thing he said was he had no place to really open it up and loved the roads here.

Hi guys! I live in Fayetteville NW Arkansas too ! This is a great news. I wanna join in you guys for the Z Fest 07 in Branson. But as I found on the sites that some of you have given. The Fest this year will start from 10-13th in May, and I'm not sure I'll be done with all my final exams by that time. So hopefully, I'll be traveling with you guys to the Fest. Good luck all !

Welcome Chain, you can always come up on Friday after finals. It's just about an hour and 45 minutes from Fayetteville. My niece has a final around noon on Friday and will probably be coming up with my daughter after hers.

My location is posted up in the above , come by and visit when you can.

There's ZAttack6 going on in Nashville, TN April 13/14. It would be great if some of you guys could make it. Also we were planning on having a Z meet down in Memphis sometime this month or next.

Guys, i'm located about 15 minutes north of El Dorado. Thats about 40 minutes north of the AR/LA border. There are quite a few z's around this area, but I guess none of them are members here. Most are all middle aged businessmen or old ladies that wont even wave. Wish there was more going on in this area. All we have here are escalades setting on 26's and the high school kids with their civics. I guess thats anywhere though. Anyways, just seeing if anyone is in this area. I would love to make it up to Memphis, but I highly doubt work will let me off.
