The Z Car Club of Rochester (ZCCR) presents the Third Annual Jonathan Krenzer Memorial All Japanese Car Show on Saturday, July 10, 2010, along with fabulous Friday & Sunday activities!

In addition to the hundreds of great cars of all Japanese marques, the show will feature a very special display of several historic Datsun/Nissan vehicles:

* 1969 Datsun 240Z HLS30-00006, the oldest Z-Car in existence. The first car to leave the factory in October 1969 for car show presentation. This is the originally green car that a model infamously sat on and dented, resulting in it being removed from the car show circuit. It was then given to Bob Sharp for racing development. The car was successfully campaigned as BSR #33 with Sharp driving and later as BSR #38 with Jim Fitzgerald at the wheel. It is now owned by Dr. Allan Robbins whose Sharpsite Motorsports has restored the car to its original racing trim.

* 1969 Datsun 240Z HLS30-00008. Also in the group of the first Z cars sent to America in October 1969. This car was the first to be used for automotive press reviews and is believed to be the cover car of the January 1970 issue of Road & Track magazine. Later converted into a SCCA race car, the first Z to complete the 24 hours of Daytona. Today it is owned by Dr. Tom Bork and is still raced in vintage events.

* 1969 Datsun 240Z HLS30-00013, the first Z made available to the public for sale. Long considered the "missing link" to Z car history, the car was recently discovered in Connecticut after being in storage for over 30 years. The car had been lovingly preserved by its owner Rick Morgan since 1976. The recent cover story of Nissan Sport magazine.

* 1976 Datsun 620 Salt Flats truck. The new Land Speed Record holder at the East Coast Timing Association Nationals. Set a new record in the F Class of 123.35 mph, shattering the old record of 119 mph. The Datsun will attempt this September to also set new world records in the E and G classes, thus becoming the first truck to hold records in three different classes. The truck was built/driven by Barry Brown and Jeff Benson of Riter Restorations in East Rochester NY. Engine built by Vinny Bedini of Bedini Motorsports. Both Brown and Bedini had formerly built some of the Bob Sharp Racing cars.

* Custom 1970 Datsun 510 powered by the original Dodge Challenger drivetrain from Brock Yates' infamous first Cannonball Run car. A custom show car winner many times over.

We are proud to have this bit of Nissan/Datsun history on display together for possibly the only time ever. For further information on the event, please visit www.zccr.net.

6 hour drive from Long Island? Hope I can make it.

[IBCoupe]

I just posted it on the Northeastern Mazda forums.

[Rev_D21]

Awesome!

[Rev_D21]

Bumping to keep this in the front of peoples minds.

[IBCoupe]

Good call. I still need to send in my registration/money.

[IBCoupe]

Sent in my registration today and reserved a room at the Hampton Inn... missed the group rate, so I had to go with AAA - $275 for two nights.

[Rev_D21]

Nice! See you there!

[IBCoupe]

Anybody who hasn't posted in here planning to make the trip up Friday? I'm trying to plan a caravan with the CT Z-Car Club, and if there are stops to meet up with NY'ers and NJ'ers along the way, I can try to plan those in, too.

[Rev_D21]

Bump! One week away!

[IBCoupe]

Departing shortly with a stop to get new tires along the way... see y'all tonight!

[Rev_D21]

BUMP! TOMORROW!! I'll be there, look for the green Hardbody truck and don't be shy.

[IBCoupe]

Ha, will do. I'll probably be wandering around with the CTZCC guys that showed up - I caravaned with one of them when I happened upon him and recognized his car at a rest stop on, as it happened, the first rest-stop I came to on I-90. I was planning to take a break and grab some food (I hadn't eaten yet, and this was about 2PM) and there was his car, parked at the very furthest spot from the door, right at the end of the off-ramp.

A long leisurely drive got me to my hotel at about 8:15 PM. I'm at the Hampton Inn... not seeing many cars here that look like they mean business, but there's one leopardy 350Z sitting in the front parking lot. That's about all I saw.

[IBCoupe]

Rev, I'm sure you've got a bunch of pictures, but I'll post what I have. I haven't touched them up at all; these are the images I uploaded onto facebook when I got back:









Reverend's Truck's windshield:






















I liked the composition on this one so much I made it my wallpaper:


Look at the engine bay:

This car's owner served in both the Army and the Marines. If that's PTSD, i can has?


Between laps 2 and 3 at Watkin's Glen, we had a photo-op. Because I turned my phone off before getting to the track, this was the only shot I managed to get after my phone finished turning on:

Nice pics. I posted mine in GenChat.
