HIDs lighting up the
wet parking lot. This is the first year that we have encountered rain at the
Motorsport show since we've gone back in 1998.Please note, this page is hosted remotely (not on the Club Z website) and the images do not always load properly.

Yes, we were ready and departed our hotel at 5:45 AM. How's that for devotion?

Slowly but surely,
everyone dragged themselves out of bed and loaded up the cars.
My new J-spec
illuminated rear center panel.
This year, I was
second in line as opposed to being first in line last year.
My JDM license plate
installed onto a stealth hinged chrome license plate frame.
This is what the
street looked like when the rain gave way to sunny skies.
Because there are so many pictures that I took, I am organizing them by model. I took at least one picture of just about every car. I took more pictures of the more interesting cars.
240Z, 260Z, 280Z, and 280ZX
Z31 300 ZX
Z32 300 ZX
350Z
Datsun 510 and Roadster
I'm not sure what to
say. At least, when the owner was talking about his Z, he was passionate about
it. Not particularly pleasing to my eyes, but as long as he likes it, that's
okay I guess.
This Brickyard colored
350Z won best paint of show. Check out his ghost flames.
This guy's got an
SR20DET stuffed into the engine bay of this 240Z. The amazing thing about it was
that he fabricated an entire S13 dashboard and center console into this car.
RB25DET 240Z.
Gary Meekin's Z that
he brings every year from Arizona.
This Z won best work
in progress car.
Dr. Dean's 600 HP Z32
TT monster.
A 260 Z with a
complete 350Z drive train transplant.
I was trying to figure
out what kind of bumper or cow catcher this Z had.
A Z32 with a complete
Bomex widebody kit.
Nice engine bay on a
clean Z32 NA.
Charles Park's white
TT and Powertrix modified red Z32.
This NA won best 300ZX
Z32 modified.
This 280ZX won best
280ZX modified I believe. He built this car to
Club Z Row
Mike's track monster
TT. It's one of the last 300.
Vince's TT.
Ron's TT.
Salah's TT oooooops....
I mean.... Salah's NA. ;-P
Glenn's HKS GT2530 BB
turboed TT.
Chuck's TT.
Kevin's J-spec TT.
Yuichi's 350Z
My J-spec TT with hood
mirrors, Porsche 993 Twin Turbo Brembo brake kit, and the all important IPOD
connected into and controlled by my Alpine DVD system.
Rob and Kyle trying to
hijack my TT. ;-)
I think Kevin tried to
mess with Roddy on the drive home.
I had to take pictures
of the sun's rays peeking through the clouds.
Stopping off at Carl's
Jr. at Buttonwillow, we stumbled across the Lotus Elise club. They must have had
a track day at Buttonwillow Raceway.
This is what I used to
get us around SoCal. Nothing like an Alpine IVA D900 DVD deck with an in-dash
DVD player, DVD-based navigation, a DVD-changer, Dolby Digital 5.1 surround with
powered subwoofer and center channel, and an IPOD controller to help find your
way, keep you awake, and pump out some tunes.
All in all, it was an awesome weekend. I needed this weekend to get away from it all. I know that my friends felt the same way. You see how much fun we had over this weekend. Hopefully, next year, I'll be able to get more people to attend the Motorsport show and show everyone how strong of a following our Z32s have. Hope you enjoyed my writeup and pictures. Unfortunately, my digicam is starting to malfunction and I may need to purchase a replacement. Must be all the pic-whoring that I do on a regular basis? Anyone wanna buy me a new digicam? ;-)
