Barry gave us a description of his drive up to Snoqualmie Falls, Sultan and back again on Sept. 29th. Twas a fair day all in all. Some clouds, some sun some rain. It was a better day than predicted. As always a nice drive on some twisty back roads. Mountains not visible due to clouds. Lunch was in Sultan. We had seven cars on the drive.
New business started with nominations for officers for upcoming two years for Vice President and Secretary. Roger Svoboda was nominated for Secretary and Ron Howard was nominated for Vice president.

Z Car Care Day will be at Motorworks, Ltd. On November 3rd. You can come put your car on the rack and see the bottom. Doing maintenance is okay rack time will be apportioned by how many cars show up. Those not on the rack can kibbutz the ones who are looking up. If you aren’t familiar with some things on your car there are knowledgeable members on hand to give you a guided tour. (I can’t call them experts because they are not more than fifty miles from home and don’t own a briefcase). I have learned much from putting my cars up and having people show me things to beware of. Bring a folding chair.
Next meeting is at Performance Nissan, our sponsor, the 13th of Nov. We’d like to have a nice turnout as they are nice enough to donate to the club plus give us discount on parts. Plus free pizza.

ZCCW Meeting Minutes
10 July 2007
The meeting was held at XXX in Issaquah. We started out with 2 Z’s and fifteen Miatas but by the end of the evening the Z’s outnumbered the Miatas. We wound up with 16 to 17 cars. We started out with introductions as there were several folks there who hadn’t been around before. Two outstanding cars were both 280Z. One had been redone by a guy who had been driving it since he was sixteen. Good looking engine compartment, interior, exterior. Excellent piece of work. The other was a yellow 2+2 driven by a lady who has had it since it was new. She has maintained it in excellent condition. Unfortunately she feels she has to give it up as she can no longer cope with the lack of power steering. Its up for sale and I have her phone number if any one has an interest.
We talked over the vintage car races and those who went all had a good time. Barry got second place for best car in his category. There was some dissatisfaction with the event promoter as we paid for ten slots and on Saturday they weren’t able to provide them. Janene is going to hassle them about this. I enjoyed and recommend to all for next year.
We are having a drive on this coming Saturday the fourteenth in memorium Mary Pritchett
who has been a member and helped with logo design etc. Check your email for details. It will be a south end drive.
Griot’s Garage Detail Day is coming up on the 28th. Come on by and find out about their products and get some detailing tips.
There is an Applebee’s Car Show in Vancouver WA on the fourth. Some of the folks that come to MOTM have invited us to come on down. ca_girl@peoplepc.com or call me at
360-608-8825. Call or email for further information.
Performance Nissan is having a BBQ and we are having a car show there on the twelfth. Shine up your ride and lets show off our cars to the public. Remember Performance is our sponsor. (and free hot dogs). Starts at 1000 and voting for best car will be announced at noon.
MOTM coming up. We do have our campsite even tho they forgot us. Aug 16-19 at Jefferson County fairgrounds. $20 per tent per night fee. Car show on Saturday. Always fun do come even if just for the day. Folks come from Canada and Oregon.
Remember the next meeting is north end at the Burgermaster on Bothell Everett Hwy. Between Thrashers corner and Mill Creek. Always plenty of room to show off our cars there. And the burgers ain’t bad.

Membership drive was discussed. Some ideas are to publish the flyer that is made up and distribute to members. Whenever you see a Z without the club insignia in the window – put a flyer on it. Another thought was a free membership to anyone who buys a Z at Performance.
Janene will liaise with Performance to have a July event with them at the lot. They have asked us to do something like this. Probably clear the lot show off our cars talk to customers eat hot dogs.

It was a good turnout despite the weather. Jason lead the meeting and talked about upcoming events. Gregg talked about the Vintage races. Anyone interested should contact him to sign up for the car corral. The club has reserved 10 spaces. Marty talked about the dyno day. It was a success with Craig Channer posting a ZCCW record of 498 HP to the rear wheels. WOW! The kart races were reported on and ZCCW had to surrender the trophy. We were a bit of an underdog as we were outnumbered by about 20 to 6 (seems like the scoring system needs to be revised a bit). Duane Bender talked about the upcoming wine tour weekend in the Yakima area. Duane has done a fabulous job of organizing this event. See our web site for details. Barry Breen talked about the drive he will host later this year on the east side. |
