The Colorado Concours d’Elegance announced the rescheduled date for their 40th Annual Colorado Concours. It will be on Sunday, September 10th!

We will meet at the Aspen Grove Shopping Center at 7:00am and proceed to the Arapahoe Community College the concours location at 7:30am. We will be lead to the concours site by the one and only Bruce McKenney. Cars will be staged just to the right (south) of the entrance sidewalk where over flow and American cars were staged previously as construction has prevented use of our usual location in the northwest corner of the show field.

The theme for the 2023 Colorado Concours event will be “The Evolution of the Automobile”; and the plan is to display a broad variety of automobiles beginning with an early Ford Model T, and other antiques of that period. There will be 8 to 10 cars of various makes and models for each decade, e.g., 1900-1919, 1920-1929, 1930-1939, etc. through 1999, with a total of 80 to 90 cars. The ‘Evolution’ cars will be in addition to the customary display of 350 sports cars.
The 2022 Colorado Concours event featured 350 entrants and raised over $75,000 for the charity. There will be a $50.00 entrant fee per car, which includes 2 entry passes. Spectators pay $10.00 per person at the entrance gate. Registrations on the day of the event cannot be accommodated. Reservation will be accepted on a first come, first served basis until a decade group is filled. Entrants will receive complete information and instructions and are encouraged to arrive at the site between 6:30 and 8:00 am. Trailer parking will be available, and the Evolution entrants will not be judged.
We have been told that your event packet(s) from the previous date will work with the new date. Just hang on to the original event packets and bring them with you to the event. If you have any questions or have not yet received your packet, please contact Terri at Colorado Concours d’Elegance and she will get another one mailed to you in mid-August. Terri’s email is mailto:tarmstrong@abilityconnectioncolorado.org.
If you were interested in having your car judged, either by your club or by the Elite judges, and DID NOT make the original cutoff date, Terri will work with you on switching your entry category.
They have re-opened online registration for both the REGULAR entries and the EVOLUTION display entries for new registrations.
Note the new deadlines are as follows:
August 11th to sign up to be JUDGED
August 23rd to sign up online and have your packet mailed out
After August 23rd, all new registrations will have to sign up at the event on Sunday, 9/10 at the red registration tent.
We know that many of our members were so disappointed that the event was cancelled, due to weather. We are crossing our fingers for great weather, as this event is for a great cause.

National Museum of World War II Aviation Visit

Departing Time at Meetup Place: 9:00am (please be there around 8:45 am)

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.

Meetup Time: 6:30 AM
Host: Ace King

The event is located at Flatirons Community Church, which is on South Boulder Road, two blocks east of Hwy 287. They have a huge parking lot.

The actual meetup location for us is the Grease Monkey at the corner of South Boulder Road and Waneka Parkway, which is across the street from the church. Please be there by 6:30 a.m., which gives us ample time to cross the street and line up as a group in a prime location.

For those unfamiliar with Coffee and Cars, it’s a free event for everybody to show off their cars and chat with like-minded people. It takes place on the 1st Saturday of every month. Typically during the summer there are about 200+ cars, with everything from a Model T to brand-new hypercars.

Ace would love to see a large turnout of members with S30 series, specifically the 240z, 260z and 280z, which makes a nice presentation of the vintage models. However, all Zs are welcome. From Ace’s experience at previous Coffee and Cars, there will be a lot of curious people with endless questions and compliments.

This is an official ZCCC event, so he’ll have a signup sheet for members. He’s also inviting people from the Colorado Z-Car Group on Facebook, so he’s hoping for a very big turnout. It ought to be a great day.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call Ace at 720-979-8864, or email him at Ace@AceDesignLab.com, and of course please visit his website, Ace240z.com to see the restoration of his ‘71, as well as a lot of great tips, tricks and easy upgrades.

Z Greatest Car Show of All Time 2023

Autocross 2023
2023-06-17 08:00 - 12:00 | Adams County Sheriff Dept Training Center, 23600 East 128th Avenue, Commerce City, CO, United States
AUTOCROSS 2023

When: Saturday, June 17th 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 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. Well, we’ve scheduled another autocross for the morning of Saturday, June 17th. 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 20 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. Please save the date and come on out and watch the fun even if you don’t plan to participate.
Note: The event has now been opened to the public because we only had a handful of members signed up to participate. We now have 13 people on the list which is approaching the 20 car limit. So, you better sign up while you still can.

Please email Andy Mortenson if you’re interested in participating in this event or if you have any questions.

***Reminder, please check our Facebook page and the website for weather updates. If there is poor weather, we will need to reschedule due to safety.
