Thanks!! It's an awesome place to drive a car like the Z.....especially when it's deserted.

Actually, the springs, shocks and sways are sitting in my garage. They'll be installed in couple of weeks. As far as I know, the Tein H-Techs drop the rear .3", and the front .2" I don't really want too much of a drop.....I've got the 10.5" rears with a +22 offset and non-rolled fenders.

The entire park is a completely and perfectly paved 2 lane road. Only the turnouts and view points are gravel. No problem at all with the Z. You can see the road in the background of this shot. They filmed a lot of the road race from the Elvis movie 'Viva Las Vegas" at Valley of Fire.

Hey ZZtop, where'd you get your hood cover from? I have the front end bra and I want the hood cover but I don't know where to get one from.

It's the Colgan bra. It comes with the hood cover and fits better than the factory bra. You should have seen how much crap was on it after got home from the Valley of Fire. Even at a few 120mph+ spurts, it never flapped and protected the nose perfectly.
