2013 Midwest Z Heritage​

Save the Dates: June 14 & 15, 2013​

Nashville, INDIANA​

The Indy Z Car Club will be hosting this event in 2013 and we are returning to Brown County, Indiana. This year’s hosting hotel will be the Season’s Lodge in Nashville, Indiana. So start planning now to get away to rustic Southern Indiana and drive some twisty back roads, shop in the art colony of Nashville, hike in Brown County State Park, visit the architectural gems of Columbus, IN, and explore the nearby wineries. This event rotates between Cleveland Z Car, Windy City Z Car, ZROC of Columbus, OH and Indy Z Car Club.

In an expanded format, we invite classic Datsun Roadsters, Nissan GTR’s and Infiniti G’s to join us to make this an inclusive Nissan celebration sponsored by Dreyer and Reinbold Infiniti.

Event registration is open! Hotel registration is open! Visit http://www.midwestzheritage.com for complete information.

There’s only a little over 2 months left before our Midwest Z Heritage event. I know many are still planning for ZDayZ and the Branson Z Fest that come along first, but don’t forget to put our little down home Nashville, Indiana event on your calendars. Registrations are starting to come in…remember in addition to the Z’s, Classic Datsuns, Infiniti G’s and the GTR’s are also invited to share in the fun. We expect the Z gang to show up but we also want to see some G’s and GTR’s!

Season’s Lodge has very few rooms left. If you want to stay at the show site, book now! Have no fear!!! The overflow will be booked into other nearby hotels in Nashville owned by the same family. Everyone will be accommodated. However, be aware that the rates may not be the same.
Several sponsors have gotten on board to support our event and our benefactor, Paws & Think. Our Gold, Silver and Bronze level sponsors are Dreyer & Reinbold Infiniti, AMS Motorsports, Motordyne Engineering, Tom Wood Nissan, Z1 Motorsports, TJK Property Services, Voodoo Ride and Jim Wolf Technology. I don’t want to overlook our other contributors who have provided items for raffle and auction…, Z Car Source, Mecum, Motorsport Auto, Black Dragon, Griot’s, RPM Performance, Discount Tire, Muteki, American Collector’s Insurance, K&N Filters, Applebee’s, Max & Erma’s, Z-Speed, Stoner’s, Datsun Parts LLC, Vino Villa, ZCCA, Turtle Wax, Autozone, Tony Stewart Foundation and WD-40 . More sponsorships are being added almost daily.

I have heard that ZDAYZ was a huge success once again. I have made that trip three times and had a conflict this year, but our show coordinator did make it. Hopefully, everyone has enough gas money left to think about coming to our event, less than a month from now, in rustic Nashville, INDIANA, on June 14-15 at the Season’s Lodge.

We have received unprecedented sponsor support this year. We have numerous donations, both automotive and non-automotive. The Z/G/GTR gift certificates and parts donations cover everything from the old school Datsun’s to the GTR’s. Pardon me while I shout…WE HAVE A TON IN SHOW DONATIONS THAT WILL BE UP FOR RAFFLE AND SILENT AUCTION!! Visit the sponsor page to get an idea what support we have received.

Register NOW! The Season’s Lodge may be fully booked by now but there are plenty of rooms available a block away within the same family of hotels. Everyone should be able to be accommodated. Just call the Season’s Lodge as noted on the show website. Visit www.midwestzheritage.com to download form to register for the show and get hotel information.

Remember early registration ends on June 1st. Registrants after that will be provided a banquet meal and a t-shirt only if available. “Day of Show” registrants are very welcome but cannot be guaranteed a shirt or a banquet dinner.

Remember we want the Infiniti G’s, Nissan GTR’s and the classic Datsun’s to participate!!

Time does indeed fly and the Branson Z Fest has wrapped up. That leaves the Midwest Z Heritage show next up on June 14-15!! Even though the official registration date has just passed there is still time to make hotel plans and mail in a show reservation…just do it quickly to assure a banquet dinner and hopefully a t-shirt.

We are lucky to have as participants some of the heavy hitters of the Z world. We are expecting Chris Karl, Executive Director of the ZCCA, and “Mad Mike” Taylor, the ZCCA liaison to Japan. Mike is going to make the trip all the way from Grapevine, Texas! He is one of the people that lobbied the hardest to get the 350Z imported to the USA. He is coming off of two sellout appearances at ZDAYZ and Branson, but promises completely new material to keep you entertained.

Get on the website, www.midwestzheritage.com, check out the details and get the registration form mailed at once. There is still time to join us in one of the nicest areas of the state of Indiana. There are plenty of back roads to drive and plenty of shops of all kinds in the Art Colony of Nashville.

And we still need Infiniti G’s and Nissan GTR’s… Spread the word!

Last call…for the Midwest Z Heritage!! “Day of Show” registrations are Welcome, so we hope your last minute plans permit you to join us. However, since the t-shirts and the banquet dinners are ordered ahead of time, we had to “guesstimate” the number of day of show registrations. If we have guessed wrong, we may not be able to provide you with either, but that doesn’t mean all is lost. It is still possible to join in the Nissan fun. Basic details are on the registration page of the show website, www.midwestzheritage.com.

“Mad Mike” Taylor advised me that I had his involvement with Nissan slightly wrong in the previous post. He states, “I lobbied to have Nissan continue producing a Z after 1996 which turned into the 350Z, which I helped develop))”. I knew he was a big cheese anyway.

Last year, at the Hot, Hot, Hot ZROC Midwest Z Heritage in Columbus, I promised a 72 degree, sunny day for our event. Well, it turns out that the actual forecast from both Accuweather and TWC is for about 80 degrees and partly sunny. No real rain in the forecast, so it might be safe to leave the garage. Regardless, we have to take what we get! Join us this Friday and Saturday! Bring your Z/G/GTR friends!

Please visit www.midwestzheritage.com for the Post Show Wrap Up…photos of all the cars, slide show of the winners, and the banquet and awards ceremony. See if you can recognize the guy sporting the nice red wig!

The cars were spectacular once again! They arrived representing 12 different car clubs…from Canada to Texas and everywhere in between. We had 18 cars that did not have a club affiliation. Perhaps they made some new friends and might now consider a club in their area.

Next year’s 15th Annual Midwest Z Heritage Show will be hosted by Cleveland Z Club and held in Aurora, OH, at the Bertram Inn, on June 13th-15th. Check www.midwestzheritage.com after January 1st, 2014, for complete information on that event. The show returns to Indiana in 2017!
