Tail of the Dragon Closed

Print PDF

On 3/15/2010 a rock slide occurred 2 miles south of Chilhowee Dam on US129 closing both lanes of traffic. Then on 3/19/2010, the road was blocked at the North Carolina and Tennessee state line with no access to 11 miles of US129, known as the "Tail of the Dragon". This road block also prevents access from Parson’s Branch Road and the Calderwood Dam area. TDOT has posted a date of July 31 for reopening, but a bonus will be awarded the clean-up if completed by July 1.

We don't yet know how this will affect ZDayZ 2010 which is scheduled from May 20-23.

The Mitty 2010

Print PDF

Z Clubbers;
The Mitty is coming up from April 30 to May 2 at Road Atlanta. The feature is BRE (Brock Racing Enterprises) and the 240Z. If we get enough Z's together (A Sea of Z's) then we can get our own parking area and parade lap. Other Z's from the Southeast are planning to come also so we should surely have enough. Let me or Stephen Judkins know if your are coming so we can get this all worked out.

Snow!

Z Clubbers,

Weather has once again struck one of our drives. I went out a rovd part of the

drive I had planned and there were many areas with ice and snow on the roads.

Other areas had a lot of water and gravel. I have decided to postpone our drive

until warmer weather. Check back for more info on the rescheduled drive.

Snow!

We tried to have the January meeting but I think the chance of snow and ice kept a lot of people at home. We did have 8 brave souls show up at TJ’s. With so few we really didn’t have a meeting. So we still need to have election of Officers at the February meeting. As many people as can need to be there.

I still plan to have a Valentines day drive/rally this year on Feb 14th. It will not be an overnight and given the weather this year it will not go North into the mountains but that leaves plenty of other places to go.
Meet at the McDonalds in Canton (exit 20 on I-575) at 9:30am and first car leaves at 10:00.

I have talked to Gwinnett Place Nissan and we plan on having a show and shine or car show there this spring. Details to follow.

There are a  lot of things coming up this year and I need for some members to take over a few events. Doug has done a good job with the Wine and BBQ tour and I hope someone will step up and organize some other events. It has been suggested that having events that wifes and boyfriends and girlfriend can enjoy is the secret to a good turnout. If you have a suggestion please speak up and let’s give it a try.

We are going to try and keep the website updated with event and happening upcoming so check it out for the latest.

Let's see a Toyota or Honda pull this one off! This confirms that the Z is the most well-balanced car in existence.

Happy New Year!

We need to have elections of officers this month at the meeting. I know it is the same night as the BCS championship, but the game is on later and TJ’s is a sports bar! Some might want to hang around and watch if there.

A BIG THANKS to Alan and Debby Poindexter for letting us have the Christmas party at their house.

New Site Features

Print PDF

You may have noticed that many Social Networking features have been integrated into the site. Being an avid Facebook user, I realized that social networking keeps people engaged on a website and content remains fresh. I see too many auto websites that fail because the webmaster simply does not have the time to post new content on a daily basis. My vision for this site is for the members to contribute all content whether it be events, pictures, articles, classifieds, or any other content type.

What can I currently do on the site?

Site Members can currently do the following:

  • Groups: Create and manage social groups for car clubs, etc. Groups can maintain their own announcements and bulleting for their members.
  • Pictures: Create photo albums and easily upload pictures.
  • Events: Create events to share with the community.
  • Classifieds: Create classified ads.
  • Forums: Participate in forum discussions.
  • zCommunity: Be sure to check out all of the options in zCommunity. We are constantly adding new functionality to enhance the Social Networking aspect of this site.
