it looks like cost will be by which days u want to attend. they have a 3 day pass-($75) and then individual days. paddock access is extra and will be available by the day or in a 3 day pass-($50). parking for the event is $35 for all 3 days. i have also set up a facebook page for the event that i will update with details more regularly. here is a link for that
Nissan Car Corral for Grand Am races at Barber | Facebook
we look forward to being there to support the doran team and our close friend BJ as he leads his 370z around the track!

Cool GCZC March 16 Meeting

P82A0470.JPG At the Mississippi Welcome Center, yes the Stang is a bona fide member of the club. He has a 350 but it is all set up for the track

P82A0472.JPG Hog Heaven's parking lot

P82A0471.JPG Hog Heaven's parking lot


Our Meeting yesterday was an huge success. We had 16 attendees, two new members, and 10 Z's at Hog Heaven in Mississippi. The weather cooperated perfectly, and the cruise was enjoyed by all, with some spirited driving on the interstate. All participants drove responsibly and patiently though when traffic dictated it.

Hog Heaven on the beach was a great dining place. Service was a little slow, but I think with 16 persons descending on them at one time overwhelmed them a little. The meeting stressed the following:

1. Treasurer's report: Funds are needed at this time so we can finalize filing for our Non-Profit Status, and then we can open up a Club Checking account. To do this, we will be holding a 50/50 raffle at LeBlanc Nissan, as well as setting up a booth to greet new (and existing) Z'ers and encourage them to join the club

2. All members received a ZCCA sticker as we are now officially part of the Z Car Club Association.

3. Events: Our next huge event is LeBlanc Nissan. LeBlanc Nissan in Gonzalez puts on a first rate event, providing food, drinks, DJ/Live Music, Tee-Shirts, Door Prizes as well as prizes for the best Z's in the show. Other clubs will also be attending: members of the VQ Crew and Louisiana Z Club will be there as well.

4. Future events, during the summer months, possibly a Brewery Tour in Baton Rouge, and then during the cooler months later in the year (Sept/Oct) an event at NOLA motorsports.

5. Our webpage has had some additional features added recently. We now have an applications page as well as an Events Page.

6. Our Facebook Page will be more closely monitored and foul language or derogatory Posts will be scrubbed immediately and the member blocked. Fair warning has been given.

Our biggest focus at the moment is to increase our membership and to raise funds so we can meet our expenses. I'd like to encourage everyone on this Forum to consider becoming a Member, with the spouses/Significant others becoming Associate Members. We also have a need for a Club Secretary at this time, if anyone has the skills and desire to participate in our organization, please let us know!

Next event is the St Jude Poker Run in Covington on March 23rd. Please see First Post of this thread for further information on participating in this very worthy event.

And then, April 20th at LeBlanc Nissan...

How I wish we could have been there. I know excuses are like a$$holes, but we are just slammed with preparing to build our new house. It seems like all our spare time is dedicated to that lately. We will make it one day.

We certainly missed you guys. We did wait a few minutes longer in Mississippi just in case y'all were running late. We expected you and Jimmy - at least, that was my impression...

Good luck on the house, however. We do understand there are priorities in people's lives. Hope to see you at the LeBlanc Nissan Event on April 20th though. That is a big one, and right here in our backyard!

Default GCZC car show stuff

Okee dokee, althought we have not had anymore members join, I am going to pretend we are still going to grow. With that in mind I have beat the bushes and started to make it rain for the Leblanc car show. We have big banner and signage, GCZC stickers, I hit Meguiars up for some sponsorship and got a big box of leather wipe packets. Thanks Meguiars.
Of course Leblanc is going to kick it up a notch also. So lets make sure we show up in force for the show. Paul, take these pics and info and post it where you will.DSC00536.jpg

Wow I cant believe I missed the Leblanc meet, especially since I stay in BR. Im kicking myself in the a** right now lol. I have been wanting to make it to one of the meets but due to my work schedule have not been able to catch any of them yet. I was actually off for this one though, I just didnt check the forums in time. Maybe next time perhaps.

Cool LeBlanc Nissan Z Event 2013

First off, apologies for the delayed write-up and update on this Event. I've had to deal with a Medical Emergency in the past few days which thankfully has been resolved now and all is well.

Being that is the case, I'd like to share the write-up from our Facebook Page with the members on here regarding the show. I'd just add that we had close to 30 Z's of all Generations (S30, Z31, Z32, Z33 and Z34) and the GCZC picked up about 7 new members at the show. A New GCZC Member won the 50/50 pot which was about $74, so his membership and his gas were paid for, and he had some left after that as well...

Anyways - here is the write up from our FACEBOOK page:

Well All, it was an absolutely beautiful day today for our 9th Annual Price Leblanc Z Car Show. Turn out was great with most models represented (Dave, you didn't bring thr GT-R?!). The folks at Price Leblanc did an outstanding job once again hosting the event. Everyone received an event t-shirt (always one of the highlights is the design on the shirt, and this year did not disappoint.) I think everyone even won a door prize or event gift from Aluminum Nismo Coffee mugs to Z Hats to Zero Gravity Lawn Chairs! Looking forward to the 10th Annual event next year already. Thanks to everyone for showing up and representing the Club. Shout out to the VQ Krewe who represented well (as usual.) And a very special Thank You to the Folks at Price Leblanc Nissan.

And here are the pictures of the winners (I'll have to come back and post pictures of the Z's soon!)

Next event looks like to be in Mobile, Alabama (Time and Place to be announced soon) - this will be a Cruise Event - so mark your calendars, shine up your Z's, change the oil, check the tires and come on out to enjoy your Ride!

Cool May 18, 2013 - Cruise to Mobile/Tech Shop

GuyZ & GalZ,

No sooner do we complete one Grand Event at LeBlanc Nissan (check out the Youtube Video posted by members of the VQ Crew The Twinz's - YouTube), than another Grand Event for the Gulf Coast Z Club comes up. This time, a cruise of a few hours long to an Auto Shop specializing in working on Z's of all Generations, where we will hold our meeting and have a Show-and-Tell Workshop by a master Z mechanic. This is your chance to have an open forum with a specialist who can provide all the information you wanted about a Z but were afraid to ask! So clear up your Calendars for Saturday May 18, and shine up your Z and get it ready to cruise the Gulf Coast to Mobile Alabama with the rest of the Crew...

Our Itinerary is as follows:

1. Both North Shore and South Shore New Orleans area Groups will meet up at the Stennis Center Exit in Mississippi (Exit 2) at the Rest Area/Welcome Center, where we will launch to Mobile with the full compliment of Z's. Time of Launch 9:30am Sharp from Covington, arriving at Stennis Welcome Center at 10pm. Leave Stennis Welcome Center at 10:15am Sharp

2. On the way to the Auto Shop, we will stop at Lambert's Restaurant in Foley Alabama at around 1pm for a scrumptious meal of unbelievable uniqueness and proportions- I've been there and it is truly an experience. You will not leave there hungry... 'nuff said. Here is the link to check it out:Lambert's Cafe - The Only Home of Throwed Rolls - Sikeston, MO | Ozark, MO | Foley, AL

EDIT: As Bucketman Rightly Noted in his post below: Lambert's Does NOT take Credit Cards - Cash Only !

Here are a couple of pics of the restaurant taken on my trip previously:
DSC02576.jpg (side parking at the restaurant...)

DSC02577.jpg (Throw me a Roll Mister!)

3. Leave From Lambert at 2pm and make our way to F&D AutoCare in Mobile Alabama, arriving there and meeting up with the Local Z Groups at about 3pm. Jonathan, the owner of the Autoshop will host the event for us and put on a Tech Shop as well. Here is the link to the Shop: About Us - F&D Autocare (251) 653-8141 5914 Hwy 90 W

Addresses for your GPS's for the Cruise, in case you are running late, or joining us from other areas:

Lambert's Cafe
2981 S. McKenzie
Foley, AL 36535
P: (251) 943-7655

F&D Autocare
5914 B highway 90 W
Theodore, AL 36582

If you have a Tech Shop topic that you'd like for Jonathan to Cover, please respond on here and let me know, and I'll pass it along.


By the way, PLEASE RSVP - GOOD COMMITMENTS ONLY as I need to provide Jonathan with a firm Headcount (barring emergencies of course)

Let's Cruise!

I am an RSVP for one. Just so everyone knows Lamberts does not take credit cards, so plan accordingly.
