- - Zcon 2011 (https://www.300zxClub.com/showthread.php?t=187634)

So browsing around Zcon is July 18th through to july 23rd at Savannah, GA. Who's going to this? Any plans yet? I plan on going and it will be my first ever big z event. Hotel info and event info isnt currently up yet.
http://www.zcca.org/

I'd love to go again. Until the border issues that prevent RHD vehicles from entering is lifted I'll have to rely on members pics and stories. :(

^ You should buy a USDM z just for occasions such as this :D but hopefully if planning goes right ill take plently of pics :) Seeing as its my first convention.

I would love to make it to this, however, MotoGP and AMA are in Laguna Seca during that weekend if memory serves me correctly. It's MUCH closer...lol

i'm going to definately be there even if i have to tow the z over there.

I'll be happy to give you some pull from Customs here-don't know that it would help, but I know it wouldn't hurt!

Here is a teaser for you guys-the team has a big bunch of great stuff already worked out, and more yet to finalize! ZCON.ORG should open over the weekend and registration should open shortly thereafter...

The members of The Coastal Z Club Convention Team, and the Z Car Club Association invite you to attend the 24th Annual ZCCA International Convention on Z Island! Together, we have setup a tremendous adventure for our guests. Z Treasure can be found, Treasure can be won, and Treasure can be bought!
A true Resort Experience at less than half the going rate! If you ever wanted to have a true 5 star resort experience at a hookup price-this is it $129 a night for a single, $139 a night for a doublea single at the Westin is normally more than $300 a night!
We have five days of Z immersion planned, from Competition driving events to a driving tour of one of Americas original Thirteen Colonies, we have it all for you and your Z!
Track events are set up to take care of your need for Zpeed, Historic Tour events are set up for your need to explore, and Haunted tours are set up to put the hair on the back of your neck at attention, and we have got your gullet covered too with the cookin' of both a Food Network Television Star, and a restaurant experience from the days of Black Beard, and Treasure Island! If you like Movies, Forrest Gump was among the more than 100 filmed here, as was Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Swamp Thing, Glory, North vs South, The Deep, The Generals Daughter, Forces of Nature, Wild America, and most recently The Last Song.
Ghost tours to raise the hairs on the back of your neck,-don't think I'm serious..try it and you'll see!

History tours for your need to explore, From Colonial plantations to Civil war fortresses, to The Gulfstream 650 Jet factory, Savannah has it!
Southern Comfort food from Savannahs' world renound restaurants(,Including Savannahs' own Food Network Star and 350z Convertible owner-Paula Deen.
Intrigue from Colonial and Pirate and military history, more book, television and movie backdrops than you can shake a stick at, and you'll find all of it woven into the History and Culture that makes up our home, The Most Haunted City in America, and The Hostess city of the South, Savannah, Georgia!

The first picture shows the Convention center across the river to the left-to its right is the Westin-the open area behind the Westin is the track!
The second picture shows a view of Riverstreet from the roof of the Westin with the Ferry crossing the river.
The third picture shows Riverstreet as evening falls as taken from the Hyatt. It also Two River boats-one of which will be taking us on a dinner cruize!
The fourth picture shows a satellite view of the island to give a better view of the distances between the Convention Center, The Westin and the Track! The white Roof on the Island is the Convention Center, the gray area to its right is the Westin, and what looks like a 1 on its side is the track!

UGH god I cant wait now lol. I have to trully save every penny I make from now till july, hopefully I can persuade the entire family to go seeing as this may also be family friendly and possibly gf friendly. Keep us posted.

Indeed sir, as long as there is pizza ;)

I don't think there is a Pizza place that delivers to the Westin...

Convention content....
Here is a Map of the convention area,
A) Headquarters Resort
F) ZCCA Judged Car Show Location
G) Will be the Peoples Choice Show if it rains-other wise the grass lot adjacent to Bryan Square will be-The grass is normally at least 20 degrees cooler than on asphalt
C) Track

Also shown is the route the Free ferry takes every 20 minutes or so.

A little more Content...

A Convention Poster

A picture of Riverstreet on the right, the Talmedge Bridge in the middle the Convention Center, and the Westin Savannah Harbor Spa and Golf Resort on the left.

Floor Plan of the Westin Resort: Large Green area is the Store/Registration. Large blue area is the Awards Banquet.

Two pictures of the Convention Center and The Westin.

Floor Plan of the Convention Center Large Blue area is the ZCCA Judged Car Show(we have both A & B. Special Interest cars will be in the brown/orange area

View from the back of Car Show Hall to the front-with the overhead doors open the whole room has a view of the river area.

Just checked out all the events and it looks like a blast! Is it a you must attend all 7 days type of thing? My thought was head out tuesday morning for a 14hr trek there arrive sleep then wednesday track event, fridays show and leave saturday midday.

so... how much is it to attend and how much track time can we get ^_^

Nice I like that come for whatever you want and ^ what he said! on track time atleast lol

Registration is still being worked on-event pricing is comparable to the past several years. I will see about posting some event pricing after I get home.

The Buckaneer Region of the SCCA has not finished their plans for us-they keep asking for more time to test their plans...and more time on the track...hmmm!

Track time will depend on how many participants we get, but we have one full day of laps and a full day of autocross-if there is more advance demand, I will see about adding another day-but it will add some cost.

I LOVE savannah, and this would be perfect for one of my summer vacations this year. Get us updated on the pricing so I can go ahead and get booked.
Thanks!
