This is a great group to run with if you are interested in taking your car out on the track. The organizer, Patrick, is a Z owner himself and we have had a blast driving our cars together. Check below for the 7/30 event at Buttonwillow.

	Location: Buttonwillow Raceway 24551 Lerdo Highway, Buttonwillow, CA 93206
Thank you everyone for supporting our last event at Thunderhill Hill. It was a great success. And now, we have confirmed another track event. This time at Buttonwillow Raceway. This is a super fun track, a little bit futher than Thunderhill, but it is well worth it. I hope to see everyone out there!!!We are running the same configuration: 3 Run groups, 20 minutes session, Beginner, Intermediate, Advance. That is seven sessions for those of you who are counting. For additional information please visit: www.citytechsf.com/track/

We had a good showing of Zs and Gs at the drags on July 7th ZCG Drag Day. For anyone that missed it, Chuck’s TT 350Z ran an amazing 11.75s 1/4 mile on low boost! We look forward to seeing the wick turned up on this beast at the next event, and a sub 11.5s run!
Rob made the overall Top 25 as well as the Top 25 for twin turbo cars lists for all models of the 350Z in the drag racing portion of my350z in Chuck’s TT 350.

He currently sits at 23rd overall for all 350Zs, and 18th for all twin turbo 350Zs. Congrats to Rob for his great run and to Chuck for the fantastic car! They need to go another 1/2s faster to crack the top 10 for the TT list.

Stay tuned for a better run at the next event when we turn the boost up!

So put your excuses to rest and join us on August 25th for the 4th event of the year.

ZONC Members:
This is your chance to drive your car in a spirited fashion in a controlled, safe, environment. Join me, NorCal UFO, ZoNC members, and other Datsun/Nissan enthusiasts at the 9th NorCal UFO autox of the year at Marina airport Sunday, August 1.

For full event details including a map, just click below:
ZoNC Members Autox
Or you can visit NorCal UFO’s website here

I will be running in group 2 since I’m in the “OSP” class, then working group four. It would be best to simply plan on meeting up in the morning either in San Jose or at Marina Airport itself. There is a mandatory driver’s meeting at approximately 8:30, and the first car goes out at about 9am. I suggest showing up at 7:30am for registration and to walk the course. The cost is $35/driver or $60/couple, and you must bring your driver’s license. Minors with a permit may drive with parental consent. If you show up to drive you MUST work for a session as well! All the scheduling is handled at the registration desk upon your arrival.

We’ll likely drive another ZoNC event later in the year as well, so stay tuned!

Hope to Z ya out there!

Road & Track magazine will feature a track test of the BRE 240z and BRE 370z tribute cars in their upcoming September issue. A video preview of the action is below and it is thrilling to watch! The BRE 240z replica belongs to Datsun fanatic Ron Carter and he deserves a big pat on the back for keeping Datsun racing alive.

We look forward to the magazine article. It’s a great day for Datsuns 🙂

Everyone had a great time at the drags with several Z/G cars participating.
Chuck G.’s 3.8L Twin Turbo Z33 ran an 11.75 !!!
