We were very proud last night to see our members do so well at this years ZCON! I am sad to report that Jim Arnett is actually a vacuum and not human (as demonstrated by how he cleaned up the place). Mike and his son Alex warmed up by taking a muscle car award at a competition in Texas before coming to ZCON! Those two are a first class tag team! There are a few reports of temporary blindness caused by opening their hood in the bright sunlight of Memphis. I hope their insurance covers this! Zup's minty low mileage 73 won a well deserved award! Even though it was silver covered, it was golden yesterday. Lot of photos were taken by others that will show up soon. The highlights for me were meeting the gang and also seeing our better halves connect and have fun. Too bad they exchanged notes on how to tame our hobbies! Zup and I turned wrenches and drove his car at midnight last night...it was a blast that helped me get through a week of not tooling or driving a Z... BIG THANKS! It is always amazing to meet new faces just to realize that we are all so much alike: Patcon, Siteunseen, S30Driver....as well to meet old friends: Bpilati, Captain Obvious, SteveJ, and the great racer Gnose!

It was great meeting the crew from ClassicZ and thanks all for putting up with me!! I've got some pics from the event that I'll post when I can, but in my currently hamstrung technological state I can't do it from here. I had a great time hanging out and will be headed out on the hotel shuttle shortly. Congrats to all the trophy winners!

Breaking news: Jim Arnett wins GOLD and BEST IN SHOW! Not bad for his first time. Now he needs to get another Z car so he has a chance of winning again.

And lest I forget, Mike W. also earned GOLD. Jim Daniels (ZUP) is taking home some hardware from ZCON, as well. WAY TO GO, GUYS! (And to think that I got to touch Jim's carburetors today.)

One of the best experiences of my life, ZCON 2015. Made it safely back to Sweet Home Alabama for some detoxing and rest in the a/c. Thank you all for a great time. Cliff

Update: I thank everyone for their comments and wanted to update the post. It has been a long day, but the 71 Series 1 now lives in my garage!

Ole Blue got a big hug. Didn't get to hug miss blue though, she's a looker too! Lucky man, he is!

I've heard Canada also. That'll be a plane ride for sure! I've been called to "emergency club meetings" down in the lobby five feet from the bar. Patcon I'll see you tonight at the banquet. Can hardly wait to see you and Blue. Nap time now!!
