Where: Parking Lot of Denver Mattress/Furniture row at the intersection of Parker Road and Quincy Ave. in Aurora
Host: Andy Mortenson

Join us on Saturday, May 21st, for the 11th annual ZCCC Bike Ride. We’ll meet at 9:30 AM in the parking lot of the Denver Mattress/Furniture Row store located at the intersection of Parker Road and Quincy Avenue in Aurora. The lot is located on north east corner of the intersection across from the Sinclair gas station. We’ll ride along the South Cherry Creek Trail 13 miles to Parker and back. We’ll have lunch in Parker at the Hickory House restaurant. If 13 miles is a little too far, you can begin the ride at the Cherry Creek Trail Head located on the south side of Arapahoe Road just east of Jordan Road in Centennial which will just about cut the length of the ride in half. The trail is relatively flat all the way to Parker so this will be an easy ride. We’ve moved the date back a couple of weeks so hopefully, it won’t be as hot as it was last year. Note: E-bikes are welcome (unless you want to get some real exercise). Please contact Andy Mortenson if you have any questions.

Autocross
2022-06-25 08:00 - 12:00 | Adams County Sheriff Dept Training Center, 23600 East 128th Avenue, Commerce City, CO, United States
🏁AUTOCROSS 🏁

When: June 25th from 8-12
Where: Adams County Sheriff’s Department Training Center. 23600 East 128th Avenue, Commerce City, CO
Cost: $20.00 for each member and $25.00 for non-members
Host: Andy Mortenson

For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, autocross 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 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.

Since rubber traffic cones define the course, the hazards are low. The speeds are typically not as great as 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 it was. A few may have even participated in the autocross down at ZCON.

Well, we’ve scheduled another autocross for the morning of Saturday, June 25th. The event will again be held at the Adams County Sheriff’s Department Training Center in Commerce City. The facility is located at 23600 East 128th 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. 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 $25.00 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.

📣 Cancelled: National Museum of World War II Aviation Visit

Cost: $17.00 for adults and $15.00 for seniors Guided tour an additional $5.00
Host: Andy Mortenson

The National Museum of World War II Aviation in Colorado Springs documents the role that military aviation played in the emergence of our nation as a world power during the Second World War. Through a combination of its aircraft collection and other exhibits, the museum tells the story of our nation’s tremendous technological advancements during the war that were essential to the success of the Allied war effort.

The museum displays a wide array of fully restored aircraft that represent all aspects of America’s involvement in World War II. Most of the aircraft are meticulously restored to flying condition, and many are flown at air shows. (For those who shared our visit to the museum back in 2019, the new hangar has since been completed and many aircraft that were in storage are now on display.) The visit also includes the WestPac Restorations facility which is adjacent to the museum.

WestPac Restorations is a premier World War II aircraft restoration and maintenance facility. WestPac is a highly specialized FAA-certified repair station that includes paint facilities, a prop shop, and a full service metal forming shop. WestPac has been closely affiliated with the museum since its inception, and allows public access to its facility through the museum’s docent-led tour program.
We plan to take the10:30 AM tour which includes WestPac Restorations. We’ll meet at Cabela’s sporting goods located on the southwest side of the intersection of I-25 and Ridgegate Parkway in Lone Tree. We’ll leave at 9:00 AM and convoy down to the museum which is located on the south side of Colorado Springs. Please note that there is an admission fee of $17.00 for adults and $15.00 for seniors. The guided tour costs an additional $5.00. While the tour isn’t required, it’s highly recommended.

As an optional extension to the museum visit for us aviation junkies, lunch will be available at “The Airplane” restaurant adjacent to the Radisson Hotel which is near the museum. The restaurant is built in and around a 1950’s era Air Force KC-97 Stratotanker airplane like the one flown by ZCCC member Steve Robertson.

Contact Andy Mortenson if you have any questions.

2022 ZCCC Bike Ride II
WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT THE BIKE RIDE IS CANCELLED. OUR HOST DOES HOPE TO RESCHEDULE BUT IT MAY BE NEXT YEAR. APOLOGIES.

When: August 20, 2022 at 9:30 AM
Where: Parking Lot of Denver Mattress/Furniture row at the intersection of Parker Road and Quincy Ave. in Aurora
Host: Andy Mortenson

As most of you know by now, I had to cancel the May 21st bike ride due to the snow storm. I’ve decided to reschedule the ride for Saturday, August 20th. Join us for the 11th annual ZCCC Bike Ride. We’ll meet at 9:30 AM in the parking lot of the Denver Mattress/Furniture Row store located at the intersection of Parker Road and Quincy Avenue in Aurora. The lot is located on north east corner of the intersection across from the Sinclair gas station. We’ll ride along the South Cherry Creek Trail 12 miles to Parker and back. We’ll have lunch in Parker at the Hickory House restaurant. If 12 miles is a little too far, you can begin the ride at the Cherry Creek Trail Head located on the south side of Arapahoe Road just east of Jordan Road in Centennial which will just about cut the length of the ride in half. Those planning to do the shorter ride should be at the trail head by 10:00 AM and wait to join up with group starting at the Furniture Row parking lot. The trail is relatively flat all the way to Parker so this will be an easy ride. Note: E-bikes are welcome (unless you want to get some real exercise). Please contact Andy Mortenson if you have any questions.

This is one of the regularly scheduled car shows that Empire Nissan puts on the last Saturday of each month. This show will be totally different. Members that wish to display their vehicles if they want to participate in the People’s Choice voting will receive an entry sheet with an assigned number to be placed on the inside of the windshield with vehicle information on it so everyone attending may vote. We will have a separate VIP area to display our vehicles.

All spectators and members may vote. The categories are: 240Z; 260Z; 280Z; 300ZX-300Z; 350Z; 370Z and Z Greatest in show. Only our Club vehicles may enter. We need to have a count for the vehicles that are entering the contest so Empire may know how many private parking spaces to reserve. If you want to enter, please let Nate know at publicrelations@zccc.org by August 22, 2022.

Please come out to either enter you car, show your car without entering, or merely see what a great event this will be. Whatever your choice, we look forward to “Zeeing” you there.
