ZATTACK6 - April 13-14, 2007 - Middle Tennessee Z Club
 

Fellow Z Owners and Enthusiasts,

After a one year hiatus and many requests, the Middle Tennessee Z Club has resurrected the ZATTACK weekend event and car show for 2007. This year’s ZATTACK features our traditional schedule and offers some very exciting new functions. As always, we will start things off on Friday, April 13 with a tour of Nissan’s Smyrna Factory, most productive assembly plant in North America and the home of the Altima, Maxima, Frontier, Pathfinder and Xterra. We will end the afternoon at Crawford Z Car in downtown Nashville for the infamous pre show and welcome party. Saturday, April 14 will start with our People’s Choice Car Show being held at the Lane Motor Museum (www.lanemotormuseum.org). Following the show there is a free period to rest, see local sites, or enjoy a Z Car cruise on the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway as we make our way to the post show gathering at Rolling River Estates pavilion.

If any of this were not enough reason to attend, this year we have a few special offerings. With the recent move of Nissan North America Headquarters from California to Nashville, we have been able build a relationship within the Nissan family through various club members employed by Nissan. Upon moving to Nashville, Nissan brought their personal 35 car Heritage collection. This unbelievable car collection is on loan and is being housed in the Lane Motor Museum here in Nashville. It is by special request to the Lane and to Nissan that we are able to get a closer look at the collection. Your registration for ZATTACK will not only grant you access to the museum, but a private tour of the complete collection including cars not on display. This is a rare and exciting opportunity for any auto enthusiast.

We have reserved a limited amount of covered indoor space for the car show which will be given out to early registrants. There will be outdoor spots also, but since the indoor space will be limited depending on the number of entries, register early to secure your covered spot. Trophies will be awarded to first and second place for each the stock and modified class of each generation.

In addition to these exciting activities we are continuing to work with Nissan and other sponsors for other possible surprises, activities, and giveaways. Here is a rundown and important information about each event. The club web site (www.middletennessseezclub.com) will be updated as more information becomes available on these extras. Event T-Shirt designs coming shortly! Middle Tennessee Z club looks forward to seeing you there!

If you've never seen the Nissan Assembly Plant in Smyrna it is incredible.

Here is a short video of our club's spring cruise which included a tour of the Nissan Decherd plant which is about 70 miles from the Smyrna plant. Decherd is a smaller plant, but you can tell from the video that the Nissan plants in Tennessee are quite a sight to behold! Smyrna is MUCH larger! The Smyrna plant has about 6,700 employees and 5.4 million square feet of floor space.

The tour is about 1 hour long, and will by given via a moving Tram. Walking will be very minimal. The tour can accommodate handicapped visitors and is wheelchair-friendly. All registrants will be able to park their Z in a high security lot, and best of all: The lines will be running during the tour, so you will be able to watch vehicles being assembled live!

Reminder: All tour participants MUST be pre-registered (Nissan requires this). You cannot just "show-up", so if you think this might be something you would like to do, make sure to register soon before all the slots are full!

Plant tour is pretty much sold out, but there are still spots available in the car show, private tours at the Lane, and both parties... Its going to be a great event. Hope you all can make it.

Well - just an update. The Nissan Plant Tour on Friday is Sold Out - but there is still plenty of availability for the other events! Hope to see you all there!

what how did I miss this!

Man, brings back memories. I used to work at the Smyrna plant driving the cars to their holding lots after they came out of the plant. Pretty cool getting to drive new Altima SE-Rs before most people had even seen one.:cool:
