Nor Cali Meet

[v12horse 49]

Hello everyone,

I know there is a lot of you Z enthusiasts in Northern California and I was thinking that it would be great if many (or a few) of us could try to meet somewhere and talk Z's or take a drive on the coast. I am up for any suggestions on where to meet, or where to take a drive, where would be the optimal place to meet since many of us are scattered around northern cali. I am located in the south bay, Fremont. It would be great if we could have a gathering, even if some people don't bring their Z's because they are working on them. Give it some thought northern cali guys and gals, and post your suggestions.

Take care,

Ben:classic:

[v12horse 49]

Are you guys going to the Z car nationals? It'd be great to meet up along the way down and start a train of Zs!

[v12horse 49]

The MSA show? If that is the Z nationals you are talking I don't know if I would be able to go. I would love to and all, but school is quite hectic these days. Do you know the exact date when the show is blitzkraig? It wouild be awesome to caravan with a group of z's though.

Anyways, any suggestions or comments on having a northern cali meet just to go on a day drive or meet up somewhere to talk z's would still be great. Blitzkraig, would you want to have a meet in say 2-3 weeks from now, preferably on a weekend? Hopefully Z_boi could be there and anyone else if this is possible.

Take care,

Ben

What I have seen at Union Landing in Union City is your typical standard "Fast & Furious" Ricers hanging out. No Z's!

Ben:

The MSA show is a completely separate different show from the National Z car Convention. Both will be in LA this year but at different times.

MSA Z Car Nationals is held April 23-25th at the MSA store in Orange, CA

The Z Car National Convention presented by GroupZ is held June 14-19th with the car show held at Nissan Headquarters in Gardena on the 19th.

Thanks bambikiller for the info on the shows. I don't want to hang with ricers, just 1st gen zcar people. You are close bambikiller, I live off the mission exit off I-680. Anyways, I have to go. I just want to have a z gathering, as you can tell.:classic:. I know no one with a old Z and I am jealous because my friend is on a mazda forum and they have these get togethers every month. They sometimes even go to track events. I just think it would be cool to get to know a few Z people. Thanks for your input.

I understand. Yeah, you are close to where I live (which Mission exit? one by Ohlone, or the Warm Springs/Mission exit?). When I get my car running right again, I'll be more interested in doing something. Of course I work a funky schedule, so who knows how that would fit into other members schedule. Hopefully within a few months my car will be running like I want it to (again). Even though we have mild ones in CA, I HATE WINTER!!! :mad:

there used to be datsun meets there at union landing. but i never went. Or they'll meet over at the tapioca express. I hang out wit the zilvia guys. and sometimes the rx-7 guys. they have meets all the time. And sometimes they meet over at frisco. Im always up for a meet.

[v12horse 49]

Hey bambikiller, I live right off of the ohlone exit. Yeah when your car is done, we should definately have a get together.

Z_boi and everyone, once more people are interested I think we should get a meet together. Don't think this is going to be some lame meet either. I am thinking of a nice drive when the weather is good, because like bambikiller said, winter sucks even if we dont really get one.

Take care,

Ben

Ya, I'm definitely down for a meet somewhere. We should find out who all will show up and who lives farthest north and south to pick a spot in between. I know about another two guys by me with 280s that would probably be interested.

[v12horse 49]

Yeah, definately invite peolple you know if they are not on the forum. I know no one, but I do know that there are a lot more bay area people here that aren't posting.

Cheers,

Ben

Anyone autocross? What about a Thunderhill day?

I live in San Jose, but am willing to drive "where - ever" to hang out with other z guys.

Rio Vista Meet

There is also a CMI event at Sacramento Raceway that weekend if you want to do some drag racing. I'm gonna try and go to the meet on saturday and go racing on sunday.

Rio Vista, I'm there!

My car is running but still in rusty shape. I'm up for a meet before Rio Vista as long as it doesn't rain on that day. I live in Pittsburg by Hwy4. Let's get together for a drink!

im in antioch and i would love to go cruisin with the rest of you guys. someone set a time, date and place and ill be there. i also got a friend with a zx who is really enthusiastic about these sorts of things but if you want this to be a z only thing than he doesnt have to know

[v12horse 49]

Hello everyone. I know we all have different schedules, but I was thinking of having a meet small or large between the dates of the 13th and the 20th of this month. If anyone is interested please post. I am not sure what we would do, but suggestions would be great. Maybe a drive on the coast or just a gathering. PLEASE POST!!! A meet would be awesome. My Z goal is to someday have a gathering once a month, but for right now one would be good.

p.s. I don't think there would be a problem with a zx coming. As long as they are interested in old Z's. We can convert him.

I look forward to seeing everyone's Z's,

Ben

Im up fot a meet. Im in Oakland CA.

The Rio Vista meet is set for April 3. Check it out here Z Meet

[v12horse 49]

I can't make it on that date. By the way, I am from Fremont, but I go to school in Stockton. What dates are people free? If we figure this out then we can decide on the date of the meet and then decide on a place. How does the weekend of the 12th, 19th, or 26th sound? Anyways, lets try to decide on one of those weekends, I think saturdays or sundays is best for people, but list off the dates you would be availible for a meet this month.

I am free the 13th, 14th, 20th, 21st, 27th, and 28th. If we get a large number of an overlap then we can pick that day. I don't want to exclude anyone so fire away on those dates, and if you can't make any of those put what date you could make.

Take care,

Ben
