Damn, you went to Grapevine all the way from Wichita Falls AND you're willing to show up again next time? (Your location says California, though) And here I was, b1tching about putting miles on my Z. I'll make sure to be there next time, provided that I wake up in time.
For now, there isn't a meet planned for next meet. HOWEVER, there WILL be a gathering at the Texas Motorplex this Friday. Members of ZOS and few people from here, I think, are going to show up and test their car and their abilities. As of now, I am planning on going to that, for sure.

Meet PICS
Hey Guys,
Here are the PICS from the meet this Saturday. You who didn't show up missed a really good time.
You don't get to go over to Mad Mike's house for a tour of his Memorabilia and some great stories behind them to often. Thanks Mike for the history lesson.
If you don't know who Mad Mike is, he is partially responsible for bringing the Z car to the United States and is huge in the world of the Z car. He and his wife welcomed us into their home and graced us with their hospitality. It was a great time.

This was the best meet that I've been to this year.
We didn't have a whole lot of cars, but we had a lot of special people in attendance. We had a he11 of a time! It was really, really great. I liked making little stops and especially seeing Mad Mike's house...that was a special treat that words can not describe.
MICS-Z, thanks for posting pictures as well.

Honestly, I think I learned more about Zs and heard some of the coolest stories I've ever heard at this meet. So far this is the best car culture I've experienced yet!
