ZCCA Judged Car Show Competition<\/h4>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

The Judged Car Show program is a concours-style competition with categories tallying up to a 300-point possible total score. Z-Cars are evaluated in Modified, Stock or Daily Driver classes for fit, finish and prep.<\/p>\n

The Gold Awards represent the ultimate award in the Z community with a requirement to achieve at least 285 points on a first-round judging to qualify for a more stringent second round. Those who achieve this are awarded either\n a Gold Cup (for modified class vehicles) or a Gold Medallion (for stock classes). A variety of requirements surround the program, see Judging Rules at www.zcca.org.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

An “Extended family” reunion<\/h4>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n

Above all, the ZCON event is about community and the social-aspect of “Z Club Life”. Yutaka Katayama, known as Mr. K, intended people to enjoy their cars…but to do so with other enthusiasts. <\/p>\n

The ZCON event aims to bring enthusiasts together for this purpose. Over 40 clubs are represented at the event year-to-year and for many, the event represents an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and an opportunity to garner\n new ones.  <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
