2008 Z Nationals Coverage:
The 2008 Z Nationals was a success. We would like to thank all of our sponsors and everyone who participated. Over 700 Nissan enthusiasts attended this year's event from all over the United States and Canada. We enjoyed an exciting day at the track on Friday where drivers pushed and sometimes learned the limits of their cars. There was never a dull moment during Saturday's car show and dyno competition. Nissan corporation showed up with a 2009 GTR and even offered rides. Famous winning Nissan IMSA cars were on accessible display. Nearly $20,000 dollars in merchandise, food, and apparel were donated and given away to attendees by our generous sponsors. Heavy afternoon thundershowers made things intereresting but the festivities continued without disaster inside the Z1 Motorsports facility. Judged car show trophies and premium giveaways were awarded at the banquet followed up with several hours of live entertainment and socializing.
