Great camera angle, Bini2, the best yet! Is that from the roof?

Thanks, Sean. I looked at killboy last week, but I guess I didn't wait long enough; they hadn't posted them. I see they got a few of you, including one showing your plate. There's a couple good Silverstone pics, but I don't think it's me.

I can't blame the guy for wanting to take so many shots of such a beautiful car in such a beautiful color. I got some good lean angles in a couple of the shots too.

Default Wow... has it really been 2 weeks already???

Seems like ZDayZ was just a few days ago... we had so much fun putting this event together. I cannot begin to tell you how rewarding it is for me to hear all this positive feedback and discussion about the weekend. It certainly makes me want to put together something even better for next year.

Well, now that everyone else has had time to discuss things, I figured I would put out a few pics and stories myself.

Before I get to that, though, check out this thread to see what happened to Zaino-master Yoda from Friday to Saturday... That cat's a party animal!
https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=77990

Here's a sample of his night out... in a bit, I'll post other event pictures on this thread.

Okay... here we go with some notes from an event organizer perspective. These are random photos I selected. More will appear on the ZDayZ website when we get it up and running.

For those who didn't make it by, Fontana Village Resort put this banner up late on Friday. John Bunch and the staff at Fontana Village really did a great job of helping us pull off ZDayZ and should be commended for their efforts.

I know I will be visiting them again before next year... maybe I'll run into some of you folks up there later this year!

You've seen it already, but here's another pic of our Best In Show car and winner of the Sport Z Editor's Choice award. The latter is a special prize I worked out with Bob Bell (thanks Bob!). The owner, Brian Wilmot of Upstate Z Club, will soon see his beautiful Z grace the pages of Sport Z Magazine!

Despite a short bout of rain, the car show Saturday was still a lot of fun. Here is the cadre of trophies Morris and I lugged up the mountain to award that day...

Never was a big fan of the Stillen SC set-up, but then I saw this car. Still have some reservations about the hood, but the total package was nice and looked sharp on the Silverstone...

between this car, mine, & DrBonz, we had Stillen, Vortech, and ATI all represented. We also had a Greddy TT car or two. Heck, we could have had a Boosted 350Z shootout!

Here are a few shots of DrBonz's beautiful engine bay...

No less impressive is Ron Harrison's engine bay on his 300ZX. Ron is president of Carolina Z Club and his car is always this clean. I just love the fact that he can keep a mostly white engine bay so muck-free!

and here, the reason my sig has changed. DrBonz working his magic on my Brickyard. Apparently, he is close to the point of actually rubbing his paint off after 60 coats of Zaino, so he figured it would be better to work on mine.
