In addition to the festivities at Turn Z, sports car racing legend John Morton will be in attendance, competing with several cars in Sunday’s historic races. Z fans will be thrilled to see Morton, the man who famously won the 1970 & 1971 SCCA C-Production National Championships in Peter Brock’s BRE Datsun 240Z, as well as countless other victories for Nissan.

“We are delighted to be involved with this spectacular event,” said Tiffini Clark, President of ZONC. “It is a distinct honor for us as Japanese car enthusiasts to be recognized at the premier historic motorsports gathering in the United States.”

The Z Owners of Northern California is one of the oldest Z Car clubs in the nation, embracing all enthusiasts of Datsun and Nissan automobiles. ZONC is an active club with hundreds of members engaged in many aspects of the car hobby, from shows to driving tours to historic racing and track days. In existence since 1972, ZONC today carries on the tradition for an entire new generation of Z drivers.

Motoring J Style is dedicated to Japanese car culture at large, a product of Marin County residents and car enthusiasts David and Martin Swig. The Swigs have been Japanese car enthusiasts since Martin acquired a Datsun dealership in 1969, shortly before the original Datsun 240Z hit the streets. They also organize the annual California Mille historic sports car tour.
