I thought I'd pass along this information now so you can mark your calendars and make your plans.
This year's Branson Z Fest will be starting Thursday, April 20 thru Sunday, April 23 in Branson, MO. Branson is located about 30 minutes south of Springfield in the scenic Ozark Mountains.
Last years event was huge with Z's coming from Arizona, New Jersey, Michigan, and even Ontario, Canada. Saturday we had over 100 Z's for the car show. This event welcomes all Z's, all generations.
This year's events include a scenic self guided drive Thursday or Friday into the gorgeous mountains of Northern Arkansas. Friday night will be drag nite.
Saturday's events are not firmed up but be assured, something special will be planned!
Please check out www.bransonzfest.com for more information.
Hope to see you there!

Who the hell would want to drive through northern Arkansas?







J/K I am from Fayetteville, which happens to be in NW AR. Some of the roads between Fayetteville and Branson are great (not the main ones). Wish I could make it, that is a hike from Dallas. Oh, and I don't have a Z.

Have fun, sounds like a good time.

 

You don't have to have a Z to attend. My daughter and her boyfriend are coming and they drive a chevy stepside. We'll have several folks from Dallas and beyond coming.

Like tynkrstoyco says, you don't have to have a Z to go. Many times in the past people have driven "stand by" vehicles when their Z's have been in the middle of a restoration, rebuilding an engine, etc. I can remember over the years a Corvette, Nissan Pathfinder, and a 1983 Buick!!

 

And don't forget the custom 240 pickup "ZSAMGO".

 

Any pic's. from last year, I'd like to make this but I live in Beaumont TX., thats a long drive but if it's worthwhile yes I'll come. We have trailered our sportbikes there every spring and fall, I definitely love ARK. roads.

 

Sure go to www.bransonzfest.com and there are about 1300 pictures from the last 3 years.

 

Thank's.
