Shameless plug for ZATTACK 2012 - April 13-14, 2012 - Franklin, TN (home of Nissan USA headquarters) - ZATTACK 2012 Web Site

I was a little surprised when it was announced that registration for this Z-Car multi-event weekend is only $40.

Here are some of the things you get for your $40:
- Factory tour of the Nissan plant on Friday afternoon in nearby Smyrna, TN - with access to the Nissan Company Store after the tour (Hurry and register soon as spots on this tour are limited).
- Private Dinner Friday night at Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, which houses part of the Nissan Heritage Collection that is normally not on display, but sits in the basement storage. They don't let regular visitors in the basement - we're gonna get access as the place will be closed except for our private ZATTACK group.
- During the Z-Car only car show at the Nissan USA Headquarters in Franklin, TN on Saturday morning, we will have access inside Nissan's US headquarters, including lunch inside. The last time I was inside there, they had an Infiniti Essence super car on display.
- A second car show will be running in the parking lot next to the Z-Car car show on Saturday morning. This second one is for Nissan employees' cars only - there are a lot of car people at Nissan and this second show will have some cool stuff.
- Of course you get a T-Shirt.

As a relatively new member of the Middle Tennessee Z Car Club it really wasn't my place to tell the club bigwig organizers (Randy & Bob) that $40 is WAY too little to charge in a registration fee, but there you go. This is a huge bargain for all you get.

Y'all come join us and the good folks at Nissan USA! ZATTACK 2012 Web Site

To clarify the post above...

Lunch will be available in the Nissan cafeteria, bit is NOT included in the registration fee. The Grill accepts cash, credit or debit cards for lunch. The coffee shop will also be open prior to lunch.

We met with Nissan again yesterday to finalize the logistics for the show. It should be great!

The lobby currently has race cars in it, including Geoff Brabham's IMSA car, the original John Morton #46 Datsun 510 and the Pikes Peak Leaf!

The Nissan Company Store is bringing in additional special merchandise they normally do not offer for the event, most of it "Z" related.

We are expecting a record number of registrations based on what we've got so far! Thanks to everyone who has registered, and we hope many more of you will.

Mea Culpa - leave it to those pesky club members to exaggerate the details! But I did hear that Randy is going to shave the 'stache once we get 200 registrations!

I'd love to make this event having just added a 370Z to the stable, but I'm hosting a drag race event for Challengers in KY this same weekend.

Please keep me posted on future events.

Challengers - the new ones are really bad A$$ looking. Keep your eye on the club web site for upcoming events: Middle Tennessee Z Club

Or, if you join the club (dues=$36/year which includes subscription to Nissan Sport Magazine), you'll get emails on every event and meeting.

Yep, been browsing the site, so far on the Zattack stuff is in there, but it's early. Figure it'll get crackin' a the weather warms up. I hit the Murfreesboro cruise at Avenues mall every Friday night. Lemme know if you guys come up.

I'll look in to joining the club.

We were at the Murfreesboro Cruise-IN last year a couple of times. We did a fundraiser for Second Harvest Food Bank there July 4th weekend last year.

As for ZATTACK, hope you'll sign up and join the club. We're planning a St Patrick's Day cruise to Erin, TN for their festivities on Saturday, March 17. We're leaving from Shoneys in Bellevue area off I-40 at 9:30 am.

We have lined up some great raffles and prizes from our sponsors for the event.

Z1 Motorsports has stepped up as usual (thanks Russell) as a sponsor and is planning to set up a display, and another vendor is bringing a 950 hp GT-R.

Only a few weeks to go to guarantee an event shirt and space at The Lane Museum/ Nissan Heritage Collection tour and dinner.

70 cars registered, and some great stuff from our sponsors for raffles and giveaways.
