We have scheduled an overnight trip to Asheville on Sept 13th and 14th . We will stay at a Hampton Inn at Biltmore Square close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The number is 828-667-2022.

There isn’t any special deal but the rates are $119 per night or so. There should be
plenty of rooms. There is also a pretty neat restaurant nearby that we can have dinner
at. It is called the Stone Ridge Tavern and it has almost any type of food you want.
This won’t be a rally but it will be twisty.

 ** RSVP here if you plan to attend **

The annual Z Club Picnic was held at Cooper's Furnace on Sunday, July 29th. 

     I remember going to one of the early ones. A lot of small bores (Bug Eyes, Triumphs, Healeys, Alfas, Super Vees, and an occasional real open wheel race car. The Mitty grew over the years. A few years ago there were 650 cars in the event. Unfortunately, the original idea has been lost on big teams, big money and ‘historic’ two year old cars....... (read more link below)

 The 2008 Z Attack Results have been posted:

Why join our club? A few years ago I stumbled upon the Georgia Z Club website. I wasn't very active in the "Z scene" but was looking to fix up my 1992 N/A. I noticed that with my paid membership, I received discounts at local parts dealers that would pay for my membership many times over within the first year. I joined solely for that reason. Shortly after joining... and a few mods later of course, I went to a local Z show where I met one of the GZC members, Larry Fordyce, who drove a 1991 Red Twin Turbo Z32. After seeing that car, I was hooked! He invited me to one of the club's monthly meetings and I quickly realized that there were other people with similar interests and that this club could offer much more than discounts. After that, I went on a mad spending spree of purchasing a 1992 Twin Turbo, adding a few mods, and showing it at every local Z show I could. During one of the monthly meetings, I opened my big mouth to complain about the old website and was quickly tasked with writing a new site which is what you see today. To sum it all up, within 2 years, I went from a "membership to score discounted parts" to the designer of this website and very active member of the Z community. To top that off... I don't even own a Z anymore!  I drive an '03 G35 which is a modern 2+2 in my opinion!

It's well worth the $25 per year no matter how you use your membership. The friends you gain from being an active member are, of course, priceless! If you wish to become a member of GZC, click here for more info!
