4.24.08 Hocking Hill Tour- Saturday, May 10th at 10:00 A.M.
As Big Ezzzzze says, "if you don't go on this drive, turn in your keys!" The
Hocking Hills tour has always been one of those events that everybody talks
about. Lots of cars and plenty of twisty roads that will clean off the top
of those shock. Pack a lunch for the stop at Conkle's Hallow.,
We're meeting at Taylor Nissan, Memorial Drive or RT.33, on the north side
of Lancaster, at 10:00 A.M. We'll hang there for a bit and then saddle up and
head south to Conkle's Hallow. Likely there will be a rendezvous at a
convenient spot in Lancaster for those who want to refresh and rehash before
heading back to C Town. We're makin' a day of it.
Bring your radio and call if you lost...614-570-9268,for Jim Corbett since my
lack of directions, (we've been doing this for how long?) obviously cause you to
be confused. Just get there and you can follow the guy in front, keep up now!
Personal Radio are always welcome on ZROC channel 5.1
4.19.08 Heritage Tour was a big turnout.
Thanks to all who braved the last bit of inclement weather to show at the local
Nissan Dealers and let those folks know we're here. For the next month the
sales guys will at least remember to tell their prospects that there a Z club.
Special thanks to Larry Denny's crew for putting together the makings for lunch.
04.19.08 Heritage Tour- Update!

03.11.08 Events update from Gregg Eggleston.
I guess March came in like a
lion and will hopefully go out with a Z on the road, 85 mph and sunny!
A little closer to home, but still in the bible belt, myself and a few other
ZROC members will be traveling to Z ATTACK 7 sponsored by Middle Tennessee Z
Club April 11-13. This will be the third year a couple of us have traveled to
this event and it is definitely a great time. The party starts Friday night at
Crawford Z and usually ends up honky tonk-in in downtown Nashville! Visit
ZAttack7 and check out the entire weekend's activities and registration.
This is a great club who always go all out to make us "Yankees" feel welcome!
Here is a link to the video from last year's show. Enjoy!

Much closer to home for those who couldn't fit a road trip into their schedule,
be sure to join us on April 19th for the annual HERITAGE TOUR--RAIN OR SHINE!
We will all meet at Germain Nissan in Gahanna at 10 AM. This will be a chance
to meet the team players for each Nissan dealership (sales, service and parts)
and catch up on all the latest from your fellow Z buddies.
By the time May rolls around
if you aren't ready for a road trip, like Big Easy says, "Light the fires, kick
the tires and get ready for the Big Easzzz's Hocking Hills tour on May 10th, an
exhilarating trip through southern Ohio back roads with heart stopping turns and
roller-coaster thrills. After a heart pounding afternoon flying by the seat of
your pants, we stop for a late lunch and a couple cold ones while sharing some
laughs and rewinding the day’s drive. Those of us who have are reservations for
Fontana Village
May
16-18; find this event to be a great tune-up for the “BITE OF
THE DRAGON”. Check out

attending the Midwest Z Heritage Fest in
Chicago June 6-8, be sure to

FINAL DRIVING EVENT FOR THE SEASON!!!
October 14, 2007 (Sunday!) ZROC will
wrap up another great season with Bob's Westward Cruize to Indian Lake, with a
midway stop at Ohio Caverns. Meet at 10:00 AM at Woody's BBQ, St Rts 33/42, same
as the last 2 years. Bob & Karen Krochefsky
know these roads like the back of their
hands (of course we all know that Koki is actually navigating!) and every year
finds us in unexplored territory. We will stop in at Ohio Caverns, and those who
wish can take the tour of the best caverns in Ohio (charge for admission) and
those who might be a bit sqeamish about going underground can hang out for some
extra socializing. I do highly recommend the tour but that is your call. We will
proceed from there to Indian Lake, where hopefully it will be nice enough to sit
on the veranda for some lunch and refreshing beverages. We have had over 20 cars
on some of our events this year, and I would love to see that number blown away
for the final cruize. I am posting this up on the various Z forums as last year
we had several people come from Cincinnati and they were all very impressed with
"how we roll". So mark your calendars now (in ink!!) and join the best damn Z
Club in the country for a fun afternoon.
E-mail or call Steve Padavana with any
questions, numbers are on this web site.
