Mike Rowe Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hi guys, I am going to visit the east coast Sep/Oct or so this year. Probably fly to New York from Perth (West Australia) and then drive down to Florida. Can anyone advise what I should go and see & where ie Drag circuits, Car Museums, Race Circuits , Classic car shows, etc? Does NASA have a Space Centre or museum in Florida? Which of you guys with an RB Z live on the East Coast that I could come and see your car? regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Let us know when you're in town and maybe we'll host a ZCar Shindig... I put them on a couple times per year. A couple of the RB types show up occassionally, although none of their projects have shown up yet. Where you should go? Google: Maryland International Raceway Virginia International Raceway Watkins Glenn Road Atlanta Take a sidetrack thru Charlotte North Carolina if you want to experience some automotive history. Lots of museums and race shops there, although most are dedicated to NASCAR, there is some worthwhile stuff to see and lots of Zcar folks in that state and region. In Florida I'd go to Daytona and stop in their museums. There's so much stuff to do on the east coast, it's really hard to pinpoint, but I'm sure others will chime in...

S130Z Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 If you also want to see some historical sites, I would greatly advise you to stop in Charleston, SC. The downtown area is amazing and we also have the largest bridge on the east coast! There's not much car craze down there, but there are a few Z guys in town. I will let you know if I can think of anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Drive an hour or two at least on the Blue Ridge parkway. Great views. Beautiful area, FUN roads to drive on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelly Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Savannah Georgia is where I'll eventually call home... Spend a night there and enjoy Riverfront! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almighty Wez Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'm sure my RBZ project will either be running or close to done by then, you can stop by our shop if you wanted to. We're about 40 mins north of Philly, if you're going to stop someplace around there anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rowe Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Thanks for all your ideas so far guys, will reserach those places and how to route them in. Also would be good to see as many Z's/Hybrids on my way while there, so would like to know where you all are. Keep the ideas coming. I will do the west coast on another visit and do the same. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
