Well, ZONC had a great showing today. This event was actually a ZONC General
Membership meeting. The ZONC Board extended an invitation to all Datsun
owners to join us for this special event at the Blackhawk Auto Museum.
Usually the General Membership Meeting are held at one of the several Nissan
Dealerships. We were fortunate to have this awesome opportunity.
Some interesting things about the show. Nissan promised to give away a new
Nissan Xterra this weekend at the event. They also said that there was a
possibility that they would bring up a few of their historical cars. Because
of internal "problems" they were not able to send any cars. But they did
give away a beautiful brand new Xterra.
Oooooops! They gave it away on the the wrong day! Instead of giving it away
during the ZONC Event they gave it away the day before. They showed up at
the Museum and I guess gave away raffle tickets to the public. Some lucky
local Blackhawk resident won a new car. (As if anyone out in the
"Ultra-Exclusive" area of Blackhawk needed a free car). Well, the point is
Nissna screwed up and gave the car away on the wrong day. I dont know the
intimate details but it sure sounds like someone at Nissan has his/her head
up his/her tailpipe.
Other news, there were some folks that signed up to be a member of ZONC
today. ZONC has opened all memberships to 510's now. Roadsters were
excepted a few years ago. (Thank you very much!) I encourage all Datsun
enthusiasts to become ZONC members. It is a growing club with nominal annual
dues and a very nice monthly news letter. ZONC is recognized as one of the
leading Z Clubs in the States and we have lots of connections directly to
Nissan in Japan. We hold lots of events and as you can see we are getting
some great exposure.
Big things are ahead for ZONC so you might as well be a part of it too.
Ciao!
