About the Club:
The West Michigan Z Club is still getting off the ground, so bear with us. We are open to all years and models of Datsun/Nissan Z cars ranging from the 240Z to the 350Z. Most members and event locations are within an hour or so from Grand Rapids, but are open to anyone. Just keep in mind that most of our events are in this area as it is the largest population center of active members. As a club, many of our members participate in all types of motorsports including autocross, drag racing, and road racing. We also occasionally host tech sessions, car shows, and social events. We are working on getting discounts at some local and online businesses. There is no fee for joining, all that is recommended is that you join the web forum and attend some of our events to get to know the club and its members.

The pages of the main site are currently being worked on. For all of you that have been waiting to be listed on the member page, please check to make sure you're on there now (There were quite a few of you, don't want to miss anyone...)
The gallery page will soon be updated to include more of the photos you've sent in of your Zs and hopefully, pending approval from our webhost for image storage space, everyone will have their own little gallery linked to their name on the members page.
Stay tuned for cool new stuff! - Jestin
