Hello Forum Members:

Due to scheduling conflicts with other Z-related events, we have modified the format of the 2010 Z-car West Coast Nationals (WCN). We will be having a one-day party, called the "Z-Enthusiast Reunion", on Saturday, April 24th. It's a tribute to our first WCN in 1996. There will be a complementary bar-b-q, available dyno runs, our biggest "garage sale" ever, and the "informal car show" that always breaks out when a couple of hundred Z cars get together. Final details will be on our website (www.350ZSource.com) in a few days. The event will be held at our location in Orange, Calif. 1139 W. Collins Ave. Hope to see you here.

 

Z-Car Parking at the Event - Updated from previous website info on 04/19/10

We estimate that approximately 75 to 100 Z-Cars will be able to park directly in the Motorsport parking lots.



The front Motorsport lot (shown in the image above from 1997) will be part of the West Coast Nationals Event History display, and will feature first place award winners from previous shows. We expect to fit approximately 25 award winners in the front lot. Many spots are already confirmed, so we ask all former first place award winners who plan to bring their Z, to email president@motorsportauto.com with your Z information as soon as possible, so we can get you on the list. Due to the limited space only first place Z-Car West Coast Nationals award winners can sign up at this time, and must be confirmed in advance. You will need to bring your trophy with you!

For the remaining 50 to 75 display spaces in our lots, around the different parts of the event, they will be first come, first served. Look for the signs and directions as to where to line up on Collins or Enterprise. We hope to begin parking cars around 8:00 or 8:30. The only requirement is that you drive your Z, and that it looks good! No rustbuckets please!

For the 100+ parallel parking spaces on Collins Avenue and Enterprise Street, we respectfully ask that these spaces also be reserved for those who bring their Z to the event. We ask that those bringing vehicles other than Z Cars to please park in the surrounding lots and areas, and to please be respectful of our neighbors.

Hard to beat free food (don't forget to sign up), sunshine (weather.com says sunny and 72), a Z Garage sale (which might have just the old stock part you have been looking for, on the cheap), event specials in the showroom, a pictorial history of the first 14 years of the West Coast Nationals, awesome Z-Cars on the dyno, and awesome Z-Cars all over the place (could be hundreds). We look forward to seeing you there!

 

Here are a couple of late announcements for the Z Enthusiast Reunion & BBQ on Saturday at Motorsport:

First, XENON will be rolling out their new 350Z body mods, and will have a 350Z on display with all of the new options.

In addition, Nissan has brought a 40th Anniversary 370Z to be on display (looks awesome!).

Please also note that access to our rear parking lot is by the East entrance, directly off of Collins Avenue. You will not need to use the severely sloped West entrance. Come early for the closest parking.

We hope to see many of you here!
