Z Nationals 2011 Sept 23rd~24th - SE Attendee Roll Call
 

Everyone,
As most of you are aware, the 2011 Z Nationals event is just around the corner (~ 3 weeks away :eek:). I want to invite everyone here on the south eastern forum to join us and hopefully the 2011 Z Nationals event the biggest ever!

Last year we had a large crowd of the 370Z's attend along with many who participated in the track event.

For those of you who are new to the forum or the South Eastern section and not familiar with the event. I encourage you to check out the official event website @ www.ZNationals.com for more details.

Be sure to come out and meet your fellow the370Z.com forum members, check out everyone's Z's (...or G) and share some good times. Numerous board members have already signed up for the event so far and even registered for the track day at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

For more info and updates, be sure to check out the Official Facebook Fan Page @ Z Nationals | Facebook.

If you have any questions about the event, registration, or any other part of the 2011 Z Nationals, shoot me a PM.

I have seen a few "Caravan" related threads already here on the370Z.com and on other Z/G forums, be sure to post up and discuss possible meeting locations and times. (If I recall, last year a large crew met up at the Varsity in Down Town Atlanta and rolled out together).

Daily update for you guys coming at ya!

This year's Z Nationals event has just had an extra level of excitment for added....better make sure you look your best because some of you are going to get your 15 minutes of fame or MORE!

For the past few years the Z Nationals car show series has been lucky enough to be featured in both Modified Magazine and Nissan Sport Magainze. The coverage of the event has grown with each passing year with photographers like Patrick McGinnis (HKYStormFront) and others being gracious enough to photo-document the weekend.

For the 2011 event, we have arranged for even more media coverage....and some unexpected surprises.

As of last Friday, we recieved an unexpected surprise in the form of an email from Nissan North America. Nissan has announced that they will be sending a large film/photography crew to the 2011 Z Nationals event to document the event for future Nissan promotional commercials, advertisements and Facebook content. This is a great honor for everyone involved in the 2011 Z Nationals event as well as for us here at Z1 Motorsports.

A recent film created by Nissan North America covering the 2011 Z Car Convention in Savannah, Georgia was spectacular. See link below:
