On April 11, SoCal Z hosted the Z-Day car show in Pismo Beach. Here is a report from Ann Devor of ZONC:

SoCalZ presented the first Z-Day in Pismo Beach on Saturday, April 11.  Zs from all over California attended from as far north as Sacramento and south as San Diego. The show combined everything we love – a car show with prizes, hot modified Zs parked everywhere, Z owners on road trips driving to a perfect beach town – and throw in a DJ and a couple of models and it was a Z party on the streets!

ZCG customer Jack Atkinson taking Best of Show and First Place for his “new” black second generation 300ZX Twin Turbo with only 13,400 miles on it. This stunning ZX was one of the last Z32s to roll off the line and Jack’s work highlighted the car’s body lines, while leaving the ‘looks-new’ interior in full view through the windows and t-top. Also taking Second Place honors was another ZCG customer, Curtis Lewis for his outrageous 370Z with a complete package of performance modifications.

Advertised only via Facebook and the internet, clubs from all over California volunteered their support for this unique gathering of an estimated 270 Zs, their owners and crowds of spectators. Randy Rodriguez, Nissan’s designer of the 370Z marveled that he had never seen so many 370Zs gathered together in one place. And on a personal basis, we had never seen so many Z32s all at the same time. Sadly, early Zs were in scarce supply although well represented by Michael Dalpoggetto and his beautiful silver 240Z. There were no Z30s or Z31s at all with the trophies left for the taking. Our 350Z was one of many other 350Zs, among which the first place winner was painted “cement with blue pearl”.

Curtis led a group of 11 Zs from Sacramento including Kevin and June Myose in their white 370Z and Nick Fisher in his modified 280Z. Many other friends were there: Charlene and Jeff Braskamp, Central Valley Z owners Stuart and Sandy Gates, and Lee Woolfolk to name a few. All in all, it was a spectacular day and judging by the success of SocalZ’s first Z-Day, you won’t want to miss the next one!
