Brunch Run - May 21, 2011

ZForce · 05-27-2011, 11:17 AM

Thanks to all that came out for the run, we had a great turnout of 24 cars ranging from 240Z, 300ZX, 350Z, G35, and eight 370Z’s. I met a lot of old friends and made some new friends.

Photos? Unfortunately my photos/video did not come out, I was experimenting with a new GoPro video along with a new in cabin headrest camera mount for my DSLR and none of the video came out, it switched over to camera still mode and shot off 9 million pictures, one every second and the camera was pointed down so none are keepers, a lot of pictures of the radio. The DSLR was too heavy for the camera mount and the camera kept sliding down. Hopefully I will have all the kinks worked out for the next run.

Anyone with photos / video feel to post them here on this thread or provide a link to your photos.

This run was a primer for the longer upcoming runs. Look for new threads started one month prior to the run date for the following events schedule:

May 21, Brunch Run – Winters, Lake Berryessa, Napa Valley

June 18, The Feather River Run – Oroville, Quincy, Truckee

July 16, Brunch Casino Run – Winters, Lake Berryessa, Clear Lake, Capay Valley, Cache Creek Casino

August 13, Summers End Run – Redwoods, Coast, Vineyards

September, date TBD, Ebbetts Pass Run – Hwy 4, Markleeville, S. Lake Tahoe

October 08, Harvest Run, Chico, Lake Almanor, Feather River Canyon, Oroville

Cool pics, am looking forward to the feather river run cleared the weekend so hopefully no suprises

ZForce · 05-27-2011, 05:34 PM

I should have the Feather River Run flyer up soon.

Guys, I have about 50 high res shots and about two hours of front and rear video from my PG Nismo. If you were behind me in group two, or in front of me in 1, I prolly gotcha...

Awesome John, in for the photos/video. Please share, post them here with a link also to your photo hosting website. I was in group #1 but you probably don't have me, I was busy dodging a baby doe and the po-po.

Brunch Run 2011 pictures by Zedhead07 - Photobucket

Nice pics Jim, much better. I selected a few to showcase.

Nice camera! Looks like we were just pulling out at Napa.

Now there is an angle I have not seen.

Nice Bossani

Sorry Naz, but you cannot have my new RE-11's

Now we have seen the picture from Chai' camera in foreground. I like these photos were you see a photo then the photo from within the photo.

Nice color combo of 370Z's. Hey there are chicks on this Run? And driving their own Z's...Props!

Ok John (Nismo) has rolling shots of the 370Z TT Amuse, I gotta see these.

Another one we have seen form Chai' camera. Nice!

Up close and personnel.

Nice park job ....Cindy! I think she is just a wee bit intimidated parking next to three 370Z's.

Now there is a mean bunch of 370Z's.

There she is again ...parked all cocked-eyed......j/k

JohnCNewJr · 05-31-2011, 11:49 AM

And a few more photos. Have to edit the videos but did capture the rapid deceleration induced by unexpected CHP presence... ;-) Will post those when they get to a reasonable size after editing.

for now, here are the stills: ZONC Napa Tour May 2011 pictures by JohnCNewJr - Photobucket

^Great photos John, thanks for sharing!

Selected photos from John’s photo album.

Katelyn is awake from her nap ….and hungry!

Z’s invade the Tower Market….the long farewell…end stop for the run.

Lake Hennessy….really there is a lake to the left. John, that’s not fair, bringing a model on the run and not sharing for photo shoots in front of our cars….j/k

Was I kidding? There really is a lake, good size one too.

Nice composition shot of John and to capture a grouping of the 370Z’s.

Nice selection of Z’s

Hey the first photo of Ryan and g/f, I was wondering if they ever got out of the G35.

It was good to see ZONC President; Lyent (upper far right) make it out for an appearance and to send us off on a good note. Wishing his 300ZX was out of the shop! We will see him on the Run in June.

Now we’ve seen it all….all three pics of the same photo from three different camera’s … the four guys are now STARS!

Admiring his work and talking about cars-n-such.

Willow350 · 06-01-2011, 04:52 PM

Looks like my neighbor went. Nice turbos.

SE · 06-01-2011, 07:14 PM

Damn, looks like I missed out on this one. I'll be sure to make it to the next one!
