After a great Z ATTACK event (Video Highlights) in 2007, the Middle Tennessee Z Club is ready to do it again in 2008. This year’s Z ATTACK features our traditional schedule and again will offer some very exciting functions.


As always, we will start things off on Friday, April 11 with a couple of exciting activities to choose from. First, we will offer a guided tour of Nissan Motor Manufacturing Corporation USA’s Smyrna, TN plant, the most productive auto assembly plant in North America and the birthplace of the Pathfinder, Altima, Maxima, Frontier and Xterra. As an alternate to the plant tour, we will offer a tour of the Jack Daniel’s Distillery in Lynchburg, TN (www.jackdaniels.com), 75 miles from Nashville. We will end the afternoon at Crawford Z Car in downtown Nashville for our infamous pre-show welcome party. Saturday, April 12 will start with our Z ATTACK People’s Choice Car Show being held indoors at the Lane Motor Museum (www.lanemotormuseum.org), current home of the Nissan Heritage Collection with the museum featuring historic Z cars from the Collection during the event. Following the show there will be a free period to rest, see local Nashville tourist attractions, or perhaps cruise on the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway before making your way to the post show gathering for dinner, again at Crawford Z Car. The weekend will end with an optional breakfast before everyone parts ways on Sunday morning.


Your registration for Z-ATTACK will grant you access to the museum, the other events, plus an event t-shirt, lunch, raffle tickets and much more. Also new this year is the Attendee Registration which allows participants who are not planning on entering a Car in the People's Choice Car Show to still enjoy all of the great Z-Attack events. This is an exciting opportunity for any auto enthusiast, and a must-see for any Nissan or Z car fan.

We have reserved a limited amount of indoor spaces for the car show at the Lane Motor Museum which will be given to early registrants. There will be outdoor spots also, but the indoor space will be limited depending on the number of entries, so we suggest that you register early to secure your spot for the car show.

In addition to these exciting activities, we are continuing to work with Nissan and other sponsors for other surprises and activities, so watch for exciting updates and all the details posted on our club website at www.middletennesseezclub.com.
