Final details are in the works for a great weekend in Nashville TN. The Middle Tn Z Club once again is in the process of finalizing a Z event you won't want to miss. Once again the show will be held at the Lane Motor Museum. If you register early you will guarantee a spot inside for the show. Last year we had over 50 Z's park inside, out of an weather, for the show. Participants will also have a chance to view the musuem, which has a very ecetic mix of cars, trucks, military vehicles and motorcycles on display. A behind the scenes tour will also be part of it to see many of Nissan's Heritage Vehicle Collection. This is a weekend event with more to do than just the show so watch for further details.

Here is a link to the video from last year's show. Enjoy!

Sounds like a great event. I can't make it this year as I'm currently living in Southern California ... but by next year, I will be living in Cumberland County TN and will be sure to try to make the 2009 event !

I put it on my calendar.

If I think that my 240 is up to 2 back to back 5 hour drives by then I will be there. (But currently the drive line is in pieces all over my garage again...)

Here is some more info for you all...

Middle Tennessee Z Club Presents

April 11 - 13, 2008

Nashville, TN

Sponsored by:

After a great Z ATTACK event (Video Highlights) in 2007, the Middle Tennessee Z Club is ready to do it again in 2008. This year’s Z ATTACK features our traditional schedule and again will offer some very exciting functions.

As always, we will start things off on Friday, April 11 with a couple of exciting activities to choose from. First, we will offer a guided tour of Nissan Motor Manufacturing Corporation USA’s Smyrna, TN plant, the most productive auto assembly plant in North America and the birthplace of the Pathfinder, Altima, Maxima, Frontier and Xterra. As an alternate to the plant tour, we will offer a tour of the Jack Daniel’s Distillery in Lynchburg, TN (www.jackdaniels.com), 75 miles from Nashville. We will end the afternoon at Crawford Z Car in downtown Nashville for our infamous pre-show welcome party. Saturday, April 12 will start with our Z ATTACK People’s Choice Car Show being held indoors at the Lane Motor Museum (www.lanemotormuseum.org), current home of the Nissan Heritage Collection with the museum featuring historic Z cars from the Collection during the event. Following the show there will be a free period to rest, see local Nashville tourist attractions, or perhaps cruise on the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway before making your way to the post show gathering for dinner, again at Crawford Z Car. The weekend will end with an optional breakfast before everyone parts ways on Sunday morning.

Your registration for ZATTACK will grant you access to the museum, the other events, plus an event t-shirt, lunch, raffle tickets and much more. Also new this year is the Attendee Registration which allows participants who are not planning on entering a Car in the People's Choice Car Show to still enjoy all of the great Z-Attack events. This is an exciting opportunity for any auto enthusiast, and a must-see for any Nissan or Z car fan.

We have reserved a limited amount of indoor spaces for the car show at the Lane Motor Museum which will be given to early registrants. There will be outdoor spots also, but the indoor space will be limited depending on the number of entries, so we suggest that you register early to secure your spot for the car show.

In addition to these exciting activities, we are continuing to work with Nissan and other sponsors for other surprises and activities, so watch for exciting updates and all the details posted on our club website at www.middletennesseezclub.com.

wow! this is a huge post! I am looking forward to this event!

Looking forward to seeing you there! This is going to be a good event.. the Lane is something special. And even more than the amazing Z Car Show upstairs.. the private access Z-Attack attendees get to see the Nissan Heritage collection (most of which is in the basement and not visable to the public) is really quite special.

Heads up gang - the Nissan Manufacturing Plant tour is about half full.. Nissan is pretty strict about the number of people allowed to visit the plant, so if you are planning on getting in on that event - register soon!

Hope to see you all at Z-Attack!

FYI Z'ers: tomorrow is the deadline to register for Z-Attack and get a T-Shirt. We may have some shirts available for late arrivals, but if you want to guarantee yourself a nice black Z-attack T in your size, register by the 20th! Click here to register.

Update: The Nissan Plant Tour on Friday the 11th is SOLD OUT.

The Jack Daniels tour, Heritage Collection tours, Car Show, banquet and all other Z-attack events are still open. If you are planning on joining us for Z-Attack register soon!

Wow, that looks like a really really fun event!
