ZCAR Fall Foilage cruise - November 4-6
 

2011 ZCAR Fall Foilage Cruise Itinerary and Information

November 4th - 6th

This year's Fall Foilage Cruise will have fun for all. We will have the oppurtunity to drive fast, test are gaming skills, bet on the pony's, cruise some great roads, and see some very historic places. All this in the company of great Z car people. Please stay up to date on emails as some details will become clearer, closer to the date.

We have reserved a block of rooms at the Holiday Inn Express within shouting distance of the Casino. They have a free shuttle that goes between the two so everyone can have fun and not worry about being behind the wheel. The block consists of 12 rooms, 6 single king rooms and 6 dbl. queen rooms and only cost $10 more if anyone wants to split a dbl. queen. If we book them up just let me know and I will add more to our block.

The block of rooms can only be held a month out so i need everyone that plans on attending to go ahead and call the hotel and reserve one of the rooms before October 4. Just tell them you are part of the ZCAR group. After that date they will honor the rate but cannot the availablity. The rate we were given is $99 per night plus tax.

This year will be a little different from last. I am also inviting some of the other Virginia Z Car clubs so we can get to know our not so distant Z owners. I hope that we get a good responce from these groups!

Friday Night Go Kart Race Information -

We will be heading to Summit Point Motorsports Park for an afternoon of high speed go karting action. We will be doing what they call the GP4 where participants will have an 11 minute warm up session, a qualifying race, and then 2 heat races. These karts are faster than the ones at Gforce for those of you who join us on our yearly event there. Not too mention you can put 25 karts on the track at once!

I have also been speaking with the track owners and think we will be able to drive a pace lap in our Z's around the track for a photo op!

Pricing will vary upon participation and ZCAR may also provide a discount depending upon participation. The starting price is 1-8 drivers $100 , 9-16 $90, 17-25 $83

It will probably be a little cool in the afternoon so I would recommend a sweatshirt and gloves. Hit link below for more information.


Saturday cruise to Berkely Springs Information -

Saturday after breakfast we will depart for historic Berkely Springs WVA. There will be plenty of oppurtunities for shopping and sightseeing in the town. Also its a great place to get your "spa treatment" on. We will then leave that afternoon to return to the hotel and prepare for the nights festivities. Please hit the link below for more information about Berkely Springs.


Saturday Night Group Dinner Information -

This will be a casual comtemporary attire dinner at one of the Casino's fine resturants, the Skyline Terrace. This resturant has a wonderful view of the horse track where we can watch the evennings races.

As of right now, myself and Jon (ZCarMan) and his wife are going. Anyone else in? Hotel rate is $99 per night. Jon just called and reserved his room and the receptionist said there are still plenty of rooms available. Just mention the Z Car Association of Richmond rate.

what time on saturday morning do you expect to meet up?

It actually starts on Friday. But, you can always drive and meet everyone at the hotel on Saturday. I'm pretty sure I'll be taking Friday off and heading to the hotel that day. Jon may be doing the same. I know he made his reservations and I'm guessing it is from Friday thru Saturday and leaving Sunday.

That's less than an hour from me.. so i thought i might join up starting Saturday morning if it was not too early.

Oh, gotcha! I'll see if I can get a start time for saturday and let you know. :tup:

It sounds like hella fun, unfortunately I gotta work, lame I know. So have a great time without me.

Good job posting this Tony! :tup:

Hopefuly I'll make it, already have a room reservation.

I'm taking Friday off indeed.

You dudes gotta post up lots of pics and videos!!

I'm going to be sick that Friday and the following Monday... ;)

Nice, perfect timing to be sick.:tup:

Got the baby back home today! They did a great job!! I'm in love again.:tup:

:tup: Nice! Looking forward to seeing ya next weekend!
