| This was the first year that my friends and I actually drove down to MotorSports as a legit Z Group. We had done so for the past three years but Empire Z Car Club finally had officials voted in and became a ZCCA member. Thanks to Greg Smith at Motorsports for reserving some spots for us so we could all park in the same area. For Pics, Scroll Down. For some read time about our Groups day go below. --------------------------- Anyway, our group met to caravan down to MotorSports around 5am at Denny's in Ontario, CA where we hold our monthly 8pm meets to find out the area was still swarming with police and street racers at that time from the previous Saturday night crews, lol! I stopped off at Chevron to grab a cup of coffee and there were three Civics and two Acura still hanging around. Sean, also said there were a bunch at a Mobile Station before he pulled int Denny's. At about 5:45am we left the area and headed down the 15 freeway to the 91 to MotorSports. I have to say that I have never seen the CA freeways so open, it was quite refreshing. What's amusing was when we finally got there, there was NO LINE because we left much earlier this year, lol! I was leading the way so I had to make everyone following me do a U Turn because there were a couple of MotorSports guys waving a florescent green sign with "Z" on it that caught my attention. The previous year, we were about 1 mile in the line because we got there late. At around 6:45am we enters the back alleyways of MorotSports and and came to a line of Z's which we all then parked it for about 1.5 hours until they finally opened the street. Like previous meets the 240-280Z's were quite prevalent. 350Z's made quite an impressive show this year with a few turbos there. What a difference a year makes. As always, the Northern CA guys made a great appearance. Is it just me or are the So Cal Z32 guys getting lazy? Well, onto the PICS. ---------------------------
Not in any specific order. Let the waiting begin. After pulling in we had ample time to check out other Z cars waiting in the line also. BTW, the Red Z off to the left was a V8 monster. Not sure whos it is.

 Other Cars from the show: Jo's (ProfeZZor X) engine bay. Of course I parked next to him so no one looked at my POS!
Notice how I kept my hood down from the pic four above:P Excellent looking engine Jo.
 This Z had one of the best paint jobs I have seen.
 Collins Street Closed off.
 
This picture does not do this Z justice. It was Ferrari red and pretty much blinded you as you walked by.
SEEDY. You forgot this Pic of the Mural Z. Big Azz can of NOS in the back.
Help! I hit a possum.
 
Tight looking convertible Z.

Speedy Z's
 Mmmm. This is the first time I saw the J spec lights on US Z. They looked ausome.
 This 350Z had to be one of my best choices. The smoked tail
lights blended well with the color.
 
Empire Z members kicking back and "trying" to stay cool under the shade of a small tree.
I got sunburned quite bad.
 Grudge match between Ron and Rick :P
FINALLY, I don't have any more pics of this chick except for this one. I'm the guy in the black shirt in the background grabbing my camera. HOWEVER, after about 15 sec. the Z "paparazzi" was around her so much, I just sat down and laughed! Why fight the crowd.
Hope to see you at ZCON!
Regards,
Chuck
