Here it is friends… the final schedule.

Saturday 5/16

Meet at Z Car Garage between 8:00-8:30am

Depart for Laguna Seca at 9:00am

We decided on this time so that we would be able to catch all the fender-bashing action of the Mazda MX-5 Cup (Miatas.)  These MX-5 races are some of the most entertaining events that I have ever seen and they should not be missed.  I hope that all those planning to join us from outside the Bay Area will be able to make the 9:00am departure time.

Sunday 5/17

Meet at Z Car Garage at 6:30am

Depart for Laguna Seca at 7:00am

I know it’s early but we do need to make sure that we are at the track and settled by 9:00am.  Raceday traffic can be a hassle here so leaving at 7:00am makes sense.  If you know how these caravans go we probably won’t get underway until near 7:30, but please try to be prompt.

Z Car Garage is only hosting the caravan down to Laguna Seca so any questions/comments can be addressed here or by email to Rob at rob@zcargarage.com

All other concerns about the corral or other track related events need to go through the appropriate channels at ZONC.  Check ZONC.org for contact information.  I believe that Yolanda Atkinson is in charge of this event if that helps at all.  See you Saturday morning!!!

Long Live the Z!!!!!

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!!!

Do you own a Z?  Good.  Do you want to drive a Parade Lap around Laguna Seca?  Of course you do!  Well here is your chance.  ZONC (Z Owners of Northern California)  are hosting a VIP Z Car corral along with NSXCA-Bay Area Chapter at Laguna Seca on May 17, 2009.

The $65 ticket price includes the following:

ON TRACK PARADE LAP
WEEKEND Race Ticket
Hospitality Area
VIP Parking – Car Corral
Grand-AM Team Tours

Please click on the event poster above to see all the fine details or head over to the ZONC website and tell them your friends at ZCarBlog.com sent you.  We will try to bring as many cars from the shop as possible to suport ZONC and we hope to see you there!!

In less than two weeks the American Le Mans series storms into Laguna Seca yet again to provide some of the best wheel to wheel racing mankind has ever seen.  Seriously.  This ALMS events promises to be even more special than years past because a Z-car corral will take place on Saturday!  All Zs (new and old) and Gs, 510s, Roadsters, and GT-Rs are welcome to attend.  The Saturday day and corral pass are available on the Z.O.N.C. website for purchase.

Here are the first set of pictures from the Historics that I promised.  These are mainly from the Z Car Corral on Saturday.  I will be posting more of the paddock, pits, and the race action as I get to editing them.  I hope these will hold you over until then.
