I had a hard time keeping up with it all. Starting with our car show - Z Odyssey then ZDayZ and then ZCCNV 1st Spring Car Show. I need a break! But I am going to tell you one thing, it was FUN! Good Z cars and great friends, nothing better. As far as fun goes, this month’s activity will be a cruise to the Weeping Radish Brew Pub in Grandy, NC. Emails will be sent out with more info. On this type of event you don’t need to drive/bring your Z if it is laid up. Drive anything. It is all about fellowship! If you would like a certain activity for the club, your ideas are always welcomed. The club is always in need help of a event coordinator for the The TZCC activities. If you would like to volunteer to head up a planned acPreZ SayZ tivity, just contact any club officer or bring it up at a club meeting. Todd Wagner Summer events are in full swing for car cruise-ins; car shows and last minute “show & shines”. To keep track of last minutes announcements emails are sent out for latest and greatest to keep you informed. Then you can help spread the word of TZCC membership. Pass out the TZCC teaser cards and tell other Datsun/Nissan Z and Infiniti G owners about our club. Don’t forget to tell them about our website (listed on the last page) and they also find us on Facebook. See you at the club meeting. Important stuff is going on.

He decided to forgo introductions as we all knew each other. For the treasurer’s report, please see elsewhere in this newsletter (we have money). The minutes of the last meeting were approved as written. For the membership report, Lawrence Davis rejoined at the car show, and Harry Bradley rejoined from Florida. Old business: We had fifty cars registered for the show and another fifteen came. Some of the attendees are thinking about joining. The North Carolina Center for Automotive Research (NCCAR) is hosting Gripfest 2012 on May 26 th. The fee is $150 for drivers, buying you ten timed runs on the 2.5-mile road course. It costs $10 for spectators. The Z Car Club of Northern Virginia will hold its spring show on Sunday, June 3rd, in Manassas. The Z Car Association of Richmond’s Ztoberfest is scheduled for Sunday, October 7th. New business: The next club event is a road trip to the Weeping Radish brewpub in Currituck on Sunday, June 24th. Starting time and location are to be announced. Looks like they have a lot more going on than just beer–http://www.weepingradish.com/–not that there’s anything wrong with just beer! Our thanks to Pomoco Nissan for hosting the May car show, and to all of our sponsors: Black Dragon, Tire Rack, Summit Racing, Advance Auto Parts, and Tidewater Z Auto Service among others. For the next car show, Mark Garrenton urged all members to contact businesses now and let them know we’re collecting items, gift certificates, etc., now for two car shows each year. Angela Brown will provide an email soon with more details. So get ready to make your contacts. If every member gets just one positive response, we can fill the goodie bags easily and the whole burden won’t be on Angela. The meeting was then adjourned. Secretary Wendy Smith Treasurer Matt Zentz TZCC is pleased to welcome the following returning members. We greatly look forward to seeing you at the activities, meetings and events! Harry Bradley James Green Daniel Halsey Lawrence Davis TZCC June FINANCIAL REPORT For more autocross information with dates and etc: www.tidewatersportscarclub.com www.odr-scca.org May 17-20, 2012 Submitted by Blake Russell Todd and I took off to ZdayZ in North Carolina and wow what a good time. Between the views, Z cars, beer and amazing roads there was hardly time for sleep on one of the funniest trips I have ever done. Whether it was the dyno pull off or the exhaust sound off, nothing was boring. There was always something to do with the some of the country’s best driving roads all around you or just prep your ride for the big car show. There is truly something for every Z enthusiast but when the sun goes down, its time to mingle at the deck party until ... then go on to the bonfire party sleep it off and do it all over again the next day. I’m no old geezer and boy will this event leave you exhausted. There is no doubt in my mind I will be there next year with bells on and maybe we can get some more Tidewater Z folks out there so we can show them how to get down, LOL! Another year brings another Z Odyssey which was held on May 5, 2012. The weather really played in to TZCC hands with nothing but beautiful blue sky and sun. The Z cars rolled in with a total of 50 registrations and about 12 more after 1pm. Truly a day to behold with a lot full a Zs. Over the course during the show, there where old friends meeting once again, tall stories being told and fix-it ideas were being passed along. The show t-shirts were notable as it had Mr. K picture on the back. A photo of the shirt back can be found on the cover of this newsletter. There are extra car show t-shirts that can be purchased, contact Todd Wagner for more info. Remember … some sizes are limited. Also past Z Odyssey shirts are available. The DJ tunes hit the mark and the door prizes made new owners. Even a couple a Hooters girls showed up to assist with the POMOCO Nissan Dealer’s Choice trophy award presentation. There were surprises of some class winners as a few folks were beat by their friends, but all in good fun. Also heard “I’ll get you next year”, which means that owner has some work to do. TZCC would like to “Thank” Henry Ayers and the rest of the POMOCO Nissan of Hampton, VA staff for the support and hospitality that they extent to us each year. And last TZCC would like to “Thank” the club members that pitched in and helped pull the show together and make it a class act hit!

A few of TZCC members (Mark Garrenton, Todd and Mandi Wagner, Blake Russell along with other dual members Beth Brown, Fred Buoni and Paul Gasporola) drove in to help with anything and to lend a hand. It was a sunny day just to hang out with friends. The show coordinator (Eiji Hosomi also a ZCCNV and TZCC member) did a great job for this event. There were about 40 cars, which made it a good one for being the first one! Even had a large yellow/white tent that could not be missed for registration! TZCC trophy winners were: 300ZX (Z31): 2nd Place- Blake Russell and 1st Place- Beth Brown. The water spot on Blake’s car made the difference between 1st and 2nd, so close! Both cars are beautiful. Todd and Fred got 2nd place for the 260Z. Good placements for TZCC! Great job for the show goes to ZCCNV!
