Motorsport's Eleventh Annual Z Car West Coast Nationals! Friday, April 28th. through Sunday, April 30th., 2006 It's hard to believe but it's been eleven years since the first small gathering of Z cars in the parking lot of Motorsport's store in Orange. Here's a brief preview of the three day event that honors the one and only Z, and you who love them. Schedule of Events: Friday Night's First Annual Casino & Poker Night Charity Benefit A party, just in time to kick off the weekend! This year, due to popular demand, we will be meeting at our store in Orange, for the first annual Motorsport Casino & Poker Night Charity Benefit. This event will be professionally run, with Vegas type tables and professional dealers who are helpful and eager to teach you the ropes as you go. With the entire world aflame with interest in Texas Hold ‘Em, that will be a featured event of the night. We will also have the ever popular casino games Black Jack & Roulette for your enjoyment. Some great prizes will be given to the top finishers, and in Texas Hold ‘Em, there may be special bounties for knocking out a Motorsport Employee! Proceeds will benefit our US Troops and their families (Specific Charity TBA). The Motorsport showroom will be open until 10 p.m. with a special Party Sale, and light refreshments will be available. Saturday's Performance Driving School at the El Toro Marine Air Station This has become an exhibition staple for those who have attended in the past. This all day event is open to all Z & ZX owners, is professionally run by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), and is a must for anyone looking to test his or her driving ability. Your instructors will teach in accordance with your skill level and needs, from basic handling skills to advanced racing techniques. Learn cornering, braking and general handling skills on a safe, closed course from trained driving professionals. There are technical requirements for your car to be able to run in the driving school (safety issues like a proper battery frame, proper lug nuts, and other requirements) so give us a call to make sure your vehicle will be allowed to run. There are specific helmet requirements as well, please call for the required Snell rating. Estimated ending time 3 p.m. This school is limited to the first 80 pre-registered vehicles! Saturday's Detail, Demo, & Garage Sale Day Our loss is your gain! Come out and get incredible deals on body parts, electronics, exhaust systems, interior parts and much more. Get here early for the best selection! Many items are being cleared out at up to 75% off, but they go fast! Also get tips from the Pro’s on car detailing. We will have hoses available, and a covered area to clean, wax and prep your car for Sunday’s show. In addition we will have special product demonstrations from selected manufacturers throughout the day. This will all be held in front of our facility in Orange. We will also have extended store hours and specials for all attendees. Get your shopping done on Saturday, and have more time to enjoy the show Sunday! Saturdays Z-Car Banquet at the Citrus Cafe' The weekend continues - with an evening of great food, lots of Z-car conversation and of course, loads of fun!

We will also have specialty awards for categories such as Best Engine, Best Paint, Best Interior, and the coveted Best of Show trophy.

So bring your Z and participate in the largest Z Car Show in the world! Even if you don’t consider your car “show quality”, we always have hundreds of interesting daily drivers as well as project cars. In addition, joining the actual show means you can park on the street with all the other Z cars, and be in the middle of the action, where you can trade ideas and stories about your car, and ask other Z enthusiasts what they think of your project ideas! We strongly urge you to register ahead of time this year, so we can make sure we have enough space to stage everybody! All others are strongly encouraged to come down as a spectator (just viewing the largest gathering of Z cars and Z car enthusiasts on earth is still FREE). Bring your camera and camcorder, and we look forward to seeing you at the show! List of expected Vendors & Hotel Information on Motorsports Webpage: http://www.motorsportauto.com/shows.htm
