A few ZCON updates (Memphis, July 14-18) - ZCON

For those interested or thinking of joining us in Memphis for this year's ZCON 2015 (45th Anniversary of the Z) celebration, we're getting close to pulling triggers on merchandise, trophies, etc.

- We're adding another optional event to the schedule - a movie screening of "Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman" - Adam Corolla's office is getting us a copy to screen. At present, we're talking about host-hotel (Hilton Memphis) for the location.

- Three Z designers will join us for this year's event; Mr. Yamashita (Yama-san, responsible for the Z32), Mr. Matsuo (240z design team lead), and Ajay Panchal (350z exterior designer). Additionally, special guests from Nissan Japan and elsewhere are planning to attend.

- Over 25 sponsors have signed up and we're going to have some great raffle prizes and auctions. Two sets of tires, brake products, suspension goodies, wide-band O2, battery tenders, dress-up products, cleaning products, hats, etc...roughly $10k in merchandise at present.

- The host hotel still has rooms - use code "ZCO712" - more information on hotel at [ ZCON ]

Registration WILL be cut off one week prior to the event for us to finalize our numbers. T-shirts will be bought for pre-registered only with a few left over. Same goes for goodie bags and other materials...get registered NOW if you want these items.

- Nissan's talking about some cool things for the track day at Memphis International Raceway. NASA will be running HPDE and AutoX, MIR will conduct drag racing events. Our contact for anything Motorsports related is Todd Wagner (assistdir@zcca.org). Spectating is free, btw.

Hope to see you in Memphis this July 14-18.
