We will be driving out in our 370Z, let us know if you plan to go and we can coordinate travel.

Branson Z Fest is a 4-day Z family gathering, full of everything from outdoor game night to group pictures with friends, to our highly competitive, yet fun, cornhole tournament. Of course, our favorite part, cruising the back roads of the Ozarks Mountains. This is a getaway for enthusiasts to have an affordable event, meet great friends and connections in the community, and share the Z passion.

The Red Lion Inn (Red Kitty as we’ve deemed it) will be home to our main event in 2024 and will be 100% rented out to BZF guests! This property is clean and well maintained, with free fridges in every room and recently renovated rooms. The courtyard/pool area is going to be an amazing social gathering place and is about 10 yards from your room for the late-night socializers.

That being said, we have requested when you book, please tell the front desk that you would like a parking lot side room (away from the socializing if you go to bed early) OR if you plan on taking advantage of your time at BZF, a room facing in the courtyard for that quick access to the action.

Our 2024 Room Rate: $90 w/o tax
NO UPFRONT COST: Once these rooms are booked out, we will have an overflow hotel for anyone coming in late, so do not wait to book!!
When Booking: Specify if you want a courtyard or parking lot room

CANCELLED - Autocross 2024
2024-06-22 08:00 - 12:00
CANCELLED – AUTOCROSS 2024
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the 2024 ZCCC Autocross event that was scheduled for this Saturday (6/22), has been CANCELLED. Please keep an eye out for future opportunities and check out our website for other upcoming events. We apologize for the inconvenience

When: Saturday, June 22th 8am-Noon
Where: 23600 East 128th Avenue
Cost: $20.00 for each member and $30.00 for non-members
Host: Andy Mortenson

For those of you who are unfamiliar with autocross, it is a timed competition held on flat,
paved surfaces with few obstructions such as parking lots or airport tarmacs in which
drivers navigate one at a time through a defined course marked by rubber traffic cones.
Autocross courses place the demands on car handling and driver skill rather than on
engine power and outright speed. It emphasizes safe competition and active
participation. It’s one of the easiest motorsports to get involved in at an amateur level.
The speeds are typically less than those encountered in legal highway driving, but the
combination of concentration and precision maneuvering gives drivers an experience
similar to that of a full road course race.
Some of you will remember the autocross event we held at the Adams County Sheriff’s
Department Training Center in Commerce City last summer and how much fun we had.
Well, we’ve scheduled another autocross for the morning of Saturday, June 22nd. The
event will again be held at the Sheriff’s Department Training Center. The facility is
located at 23600 East 128 th Avenue which is about 5 miles east of Barr Lake.
We’ll be using their nice smooth 3 ¼ acre skill pad for our autocross. We have rented
the pad for four hours, from 8:00 AM until Noon. It always takes some time to set up the
course. Since the facility opens at 7:30, it would be helpful if participants tried to come a
little early to lend a hand with the set up.
We’re going to limit participation to the first 25 cars to register because we’d like to
guarantee each car a minimum of three timed runs through the course during that time.
There will be a charge of $20.00 for each member and $30.00 for non-members. Please
bring cash or a check payable to ZCCC because credit cards can’t be accepted.
Helmets will be required and the Training Center requires that a release form be signed
by each participant. The center is in a treeless area and there is no shade so bring sun
protection and drinking water. There are bathroom facilities within easy walking
distance. So save the date and come on out and watch the fun even if you don’t plan to
participate. If there’s insufficient participation from ZCCC members, the autocross will
be open to the public to help defray costs.
Please advise Andy Mortenson if you’re interested in participating in this event or if you
have any questions.

Tour The Shelby American Collection
2024-07-27 09:30 - 12:00
Host: Andy Mortenson
Date: Saturday, July 27th
Location: Del Taco restaurant at 8100 Northfield Blvd.
Time: 9:30 AM
Dedicated to the legacy of Carroll Shelby and the Shelby American Team, the Shelby American
Collection celebrates the rich heritage of the world’s most famous racing cars. From Shelby’s
British AC predecessor and the 289 and 427 race and street Cobras, to the rare Daytona and
Willment Coupes, to the revolutionary Ford GT40 and the GT350 Shelby Mustangs, the Shelby
American Collection has some of the rarest, most valuable and authentic cars on display
anywhere in the world. The museum is also home to an extensive collection of memorabilia, art,
race records, period photographs and tributes to the pioneer drivers of the era, and the dramatic
histories and life stories of Carroll Shelby, Enzo Ferrari, Henry Ford and other icons of 1960s
auto design, industry and racing lore.
We last visited the Shelby Collection in 2018. Cars are removed and added periodically so there
will have been some changes to those on display. One addition is the GT40 driven by Ken Miles
to a controversial second place finish in the 1966 Le Mans race which should be familiar to
anyone who saw the movie, “Ford vs Ferrari”.
We plan to meet on Saturday, July 27 th , at 9:30AM in the parking lot of the Del Taco restaurant
at 8100 Northfield Blvd., which is located just north of the Super Target store at Northfield.
We’ll convoy from there and anticipate arriving at the Shelby Collection soon after it opens.
The Shelby American Collection is located at 5020 Chaparral Court in Boulder. They’re open
from 10:00AM to 4:00PM on Saturdays and there is a $5.00 admission fee for adults.

Travel time is 2 hrs. Lunch will be at Casa Sanchez Mexican Restaurant, see above link for menu and pricing. After lunch we will take State Hwy. 9 through the town of Alma and begin our ascent to the summit of Hoosier Pass (named after the settlers from Indiana).
On our way to the summit, we will drive past Montgomery Reservoir (picture below). The Reservoir has 95 acres of water which supplies Colorado Springs Utilities with water used for municipal purposes via Hoosier Tunnel. At the summit, we will stop at the pull-off area to take group pictures, read historical markers, and enjoy the view. Hoosier Pass is paved. The pull off is hard pack dirt/gravel.

(Montgomery Reservoir)
After spending time at the summit, we will descend Hoosier Pass and continue to Breckenridge. The descent becomes hairpin curves, some at 8% grade, which level out as we get close to Breckenridge. Spending time in Breckenridge is optional. You can shop, take a gondola ride, or stay overnight. If visiting Breckenridge is not on your schedule, at Hoosier summit, take State Highway 9 back to Fairplay, and your route of choice home. If you want to return to Denver from Breckenridge, take State Highway 9 to Frisco and I70 east to Denver.
