Fellow Z Owners and Enthusiasts, After a great Z ATTACK event ( ) in 2008, the Middle Tennessee Z Club is ready to do it again in 2009. This year’s Z ATTACK 8 features a similar schedule and again will offer some very exciting functions. Plus, a portion of this year’s proceeds will go to the Second Harvest Food Bank, a local charitable organization. We will start things off on Friday afternoon April 17 with the choice of visits to two different automotive-related museums. We will leave from Crawford Z Car Service which is easily accessed and centrally located in downtown Nashville for both destinations. First, those interested can take an hour cruise north of Nashville to The National Corvette Museum, located in Bowling Green, KY. As an alternate, we will offer a visit to the local Lane Motor Museum, current home of the Nissan Heritage Collection, with the museum featuring historic Z cars and other Nissans from the Heritage Collection in addition to the museum’s regular display of 150+ unique automobiles and motorcycles. We will then return to Crawford Z Car Service for our infamous welcome party and dinner for registered entrants and guests Friday evening. CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE ENTIRE COLLECTION Saturday, April 18 will feature our Z ATTACK 8 People’s Choice Car Show being held in Franklin, TN at the Nissan Americas Building, the recently-opened home and corporate headquarters for Nissan North America, Inc. We will have the show at the front entrance to the building, and in the event of rain, we will move into the parking garage adjacent to the building. We anticipate also having a separate auto exhibition in addition to our show featuring non-Z cars owned by Nissan employees and other car club members. We will serve lunch to those registered which will be catered by Moe’s Southwest Grill. Following the show there will be a free period to rest, see local Nashville tourist attractions, or perhaps take a cruise on the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway before making your way to the post-show gathering for dinner at Guido’s New York Pizzas, just minutes away from the Nissan HQ building. Guido’s is a excellent moderately priced Italian restaurant offering ala carte pasta, salads and pizza as well as a buffet and full service bar. We have reserved the indoor balcony area for our group. Your registration for ZATTACK will grant you access to the pre-show party and all activities including lunch on Nissan North America’s campus plus an event t-shirt, whether you enter the car show or not. PLEASE NOTE: There are two separate forms for registering for Z ATTACK 8. One form is for the car show entrant, the second for their guest(s) or friend(s) not entering a car in the show. This is an exciting opportunity for any auto enthusiast, and a must-see for any Nissan or Z car fan. 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 to be posted on our club website at www.middletennessseezclub.com We look forward to another great event, and hope you can join us!

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!

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.
