About the  Club of Houston
The Z Club of Houston is proud to be the first Z Club chartered in Texas (1974). And it’s the third-oldest Z Club in the United States, behind Group Z (1971) and ZONC (1972), both located in California. Membership is open to all individuals who are interested in the Datsun and Nissan Z cars. You don’t have to own a Z car to be a member; you just have to love ‘em! The Z Club of Houston is a social organization with plenty of activities both car-related and non-car related.
So What are some benifits of joining the Z Club?
The Z Club does a lot more than just stand in a parking lot and talk about cars.
Aside from our monthly get-togethers, we also host full-blown car shows, track events, cruises, and many other things.
Among the recent plans we've got lined up are two track events- one at Hallett and one at MSR-Houston, as well as a car show at Sterling McCall Nissan. that's just between now and October. November and December will include the club hosting a booth at AutoRama and the annual Christmas Party.
As the schedule allows, we also cruise up to TWS on a regular basis for SCCA and NASA events to watch some of our members race as well as participate in several other DE events each year.
We also organize several cruises in the spring and fall when the weather is nice, with our springtime Bluebonnet run one of our signature events.
For club history, we've been around since 1974 and are founding members of the ZCCA. In fact, we're the only club in the country to have been present at every convention since it started 19 years ago. (You can thank ZCarDave for that impressive achievement!)
So what's in it for you? You mean other than everything listed above?
Along with your membership, we have several local and nationwide vendors that provide discounts to us- everything from OEM parts at dealerships to JWT products to Toyo tires, and even car rentals when you're traveling.
the other unspoken benefits are being able to call up local friends when you need help wrenching on your car, or having a fellow club member tow your car home when you blow an engine at the track 150 miles from home. (Thanks again Dave!)
As you can see, there's a lot more to the club than just standing around and kicking tires. I've 'only' been a member of ZCOH for a couple of years, but I've been hanging around on online car forums for about 10 years now. I moderate four of those forums and have organized several national car meets and attended many others as well- ZCCA Convention, TX2k5, SE-R convention, Maxus 2000,2005,2006.. Even with all of those contacts and friends I've made online over the years, I still prefer the comraderie of the ZCOH over any of the other forums I've been a part of.
