That’s right!!  Roughly three weeks from now on August 14-16th are the Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races at Laguna Seca.  The best part of this weekend is the Z Car Corral, hosted by the Z Owners of Northern California (ZONC), where all our fellow Nissan/Datsun friends get to park together right along the track in a VIP parking area.

ZONC is currently offering tickets for the Saturday the 15th Corral event on their website.  I know that the flyer below says that the deadline has passed to purchase tickets but trust me there are still plenty of spaces available.

Cars from every time period and every marque are represented during the Historics weekend but this year promises to be extra special because Porsche is the featured marque of this year’s event.  Porsche cars are already set to represent one third of the race cars on the track and Porsche factory will be bringing out a few rare cars as well.  The new four-door Panamera will also be on hand for the the public to view.

If you are busy this weekend cancel your plans.  The Historics are well worth it.  We would love to have you join Z Car Garage and ZONC for this amazing event!!!

This 350z track footage is courtesy of a friend of ZCG who was lucky enough to attend the track event at Laguna Seca on Monday.  This is pretty much a track only car and you can see from the video that it can keep up with a Porsche 993 twin-turbo.

I hope this will encourage some of you to get your Zs on the race track this summer.  The Z is a great platform to run on the track and requires very little preparation to have a reliable track experience.

If you are looking to get some seat time and would like to have Z Car Garage inspect your car or even perform a few upgrades before your next event please contact Rob at rob@zcargarage.com.

Thanks for the footage Scott and Alvin, you guys rock.  Z you on the flip side.

I wanted to get this post up again because reserved spots in the Z-car Corral are filling up quickly!  Getting the weekend pass for $65 is a deal by itself, and then you throw in great parking at the Z-car Corral and a parade lap around the full Laguna Seca circuit and you would be a fool not to attend!!

Z Car Garage will be bringing AT LEAST four cars from the shop and we have verified that other customers and friends have already signed up.  This is going to be an amazing race weekend with all your Z friends and we hope to see you there.  Visit the Z.O.N.C. Website to sign up TODAY!!!

The ALMS race is tomorrow and the Z Car Corral is going to be located right around turn 5.  We are going to be bringing out a few cars so stop by and say hello.  I will also be taking pictures of the entire weekend so expect to see them up here soon (as if I don’t have enough photos to edit already.)  Be safe and have fun!!
