Default Zs at FoodLion AutoFair in Charlotte! April 3rd & 4th

Just a note to let everyone know that the Carolina Z Club will be attending the FoodLion AutoFair at Lowe's (Charlotte) Motor Speedway on Saturday, April 3rd and Sunday, April 4th.

Come by and see us in the car club section. This will be the first appearance of my 350Z as an officially sponsored car with an even more impressive list of mods! I'm dying to post my new info to the forum, but it's under wraps for now so make sure you come us at the speedway!

Carolina Z Club is invited each year to bring cars out to the "car club" area. We have 10 spots this year and my car will grace one of them!

Mind if I send this out the Triangle area folks?
Please do!


BTW, for those who come out, this will be your first chance to see the Cosentino HiLines/Crawford Z Car Service sponsored 350Z!!! Hmm..... I wonder who might own that?

This car will be sporting several recently added goodies (in addition to all the cool stuff it already had!). That's all I can say for now, but I'm sure it will be a crowd pleaser.

Rob...

We are full up both days, but would love to talk to you if you drop by the club area. You should get involved with the Carolina Z Club. We do a lot of fun stuff throughout the year. This AutoFair display is just one of them.

Default some pics from the AutoFair

As usual, there was a HUGE crowd at the AutoFair this year. It is mostly an american car show, but there are pockets of imports. The Carolina Z Club had an area where we set up each day. Good traffic looking around at what we had to show.

Pics in the order I took them. First up is Morris' LSS showing off his sweet BC wheels. Great sunlight on Sunday to really show off the LSS color!

Also there was club member Mike Twitty. Mike's 300ZX graced the centerfold of Sport Z Magazine a few months back. This car is always looks awesome.

Randy's Twin Turbo is rated at around 640rwhp when he is running on racing gas and a heady 23lbs of boost! That's 758 crank horses to us mere mortals!!!

The only old school Z to show up for the final day of the show, Ken's 240 is about as clean as they come. The more I see this car, the more I like it!

Finally, we have two more 350Zs... first up, Rick Coffey's beautiful Redline 350Z. Rick hasn't done as much as most of his to his car, but I challenge anyone (except DrBonz) to offer up one that is as consistently spotless as Rick's!

Last, but not least, we have good ol Frankenstein!

I know I'm biased, but I think my car looked even meaner basking in the sun on the infield of the speedway.

For those wondering, my car was pretty much a non-stop circus of spectators. It's a toss up on whether I had more questions about the Vortech or about the paint! I can't believe how many people think I have a custom paint job.
