Is there something wrong with the zdayzevents.com website? I can't seem to get to it this morning.

 

Yes, there are some server upgrades going on. Should be back up later today.

March 31, 2005

Hello again! Lots of information this week, so we'll get right to it


Car Show Registration Update!

There are two changes to registration process for the ZDayZ car show. First, we are extending pre-registration until April 30th. This is an extra two weeks for the last minute entries to be submitted. All entries must be received (not postmarked) by April 30, 2005. So, make sure mailed forms are sent in appropriate time to meet the deadline. After this date, we will still accept registration/pre-order forms, but prices will be the same as those charged onsite during ZDayZ.

Second, a huge number of car show registrations have been received from the 350Z community (thank you, everyone!). Due to the overwhelming numbers, we are adding another class to the show for 5th Generation cars. The new class will be 5th Generation FI-Modified and will be made up of 350Zs and G35s equipped with a supercharger or turbocharger(s). Entries already received for FI equipped cars have been bumped into the new class. Those yet to enter should download the latest version of the pre-registration form from our website, www.zdayzevents.com, and select the FI-Modified class from the dropdown list.


ZDayZ CaravanZ!

Ready for ZDayZ, but wish you could make the trip with some friends? Well, despair no more! Just visit our website and check out the CaravanZ section. This convenient web forum has been set up to allow you to contact other ZDayZ attendees from your area or along the travel route you are taking. Find out who else is coming, then set up your own caravan of Z-cars to ensure you arrive at Fontana Village in good company!


Detailing 101 with DrBonz


It was a big hit last year, so we're bringing back Ed Uberti for a couple of detailing sessions to help you get the most out of cleaning your Z or G. Many may know Ed better by the nom de plum he uses on 350Z web forums, DrBonz. He can often be found giving pointers online, especially regarding the Zaino Car Polish Products he and many others prefer. This will be your chance to see a firsthand demonstration and seek detailing knowledge directly from the Zaino-Master himself! Detailing 101 will be conducted on Friday at 4:00pm and again on Saturday at 11:00am. These sessions are the same, so you only need to attend one unless you just enjoy watching other folks wash cars.

ZDayZ Texas Hold'Em Tournament

It's all the rage now... Texas Hold'Em Tournaments and celebrity events are on tv all the time. The game continues to grow in popularity as more and more people take their chances betting on the flop, the turn, and the river. Well, now you have a chance to show your poker skills to the Z community. Even if you don't play poker, this will be a great opportunity for you to come out and mingle with other folks at ZDayZ.

The Texas Hold'Em Tournament will begin around 7:00pm on Saturday following the BBQ dinner. The entry fee is $15 and includes raffle tickets for each entrant. No matter how well you play your cards, you still have a chance to win something! House rules will be provided before the event begins.

The first round will consist of six qualifying tables, each with a set number of seats filled on a first come, first serve basis. This round will run approximately 2 hours or until each table has a single winner. Between the first round and the final round, raffle prizes will be drawn.

Following a short break, the final round will begin with the six winners from the first round tables. Play will continue until there is a single winner or until the game is called by ZDayZ staff. Each player in the final round will win sponsor-donated ZDayZ prizes based on their finish position. The better a finalist finishes, the better the prize! Note: There are no cash payouts for this event!



Featured Sponsor Club: Metro Detroit Z Club

How did this happen? An upper Midwest club sponsoring a southeast regional event??? Well, I for one could not be happier to have them! Their support just goes to show the widespread appeal the Tail of the Dragon has to Z-drivers all over the country. When you consider we already have attendees coming from 20 states and Canada, it really isn't hard to understand why this, or any Z-club, would want to sponsor our event. Metro Detroit Z Club is based in you guessed it Detroit, MI. The club is very active in all aspects of Z-recreation car shows, track events, cruises you name it and this club is ready to do it! If you visit online Z-forums, you've probably bumped into one or more of Metro Detroit Zs members without even realizing it. In fact, they have a web forum of their own you can visit, www.detroitz.com. If you want more information about the club, contact Gerry Bohn or Mike Zack through the club forum.




Featured Sponsor: Z1 Motorsports

This year, we're happy to add Z1 Motorsports to our list of vendor sponsors. Z1 is located in Carrollton, GA, not far from Atlanta. The company was started by Z enthusiasts in 2000 and quickly grew to be one of the biggest Z32 specialists in the country. Z1 did not stop there, though. Since the release of the 350Z, Z1 Motorsports has expanded their operation to include services and parts for the 350Z and G35 communities as well. A reflection of their rapid growth can be seen in their recent move to a huge 15,000sqft facility. From this state of the art location, Z1 continues to offer a wide variety of performance parts and quality services to its customers. Visit the Z1 Motorsports website, www.300zx.com, or give them a call at 770-838-7777 to find out what they have to offer.

hehehe... I think we're going to change "detailing 101" to "DrBonz Z Wash & Detail"! Sounds like we could get a line of cars set up to get the DrBonz Zaino treatment. What do you think we should charge, Ed? $50? $100?

 

Looks like Destiny wants the Dr. Bonz "treatment" too.

 

I have a 2003 Z. It has 10,600 mi. It has very bad road noise. Above 40 mi per hr I can't have conversation in car. Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can it be fixed or can it?

 

Tire wear. Feathering. Goto your dealership. Free Tires are in order.

 

Just do a forum search for tire feathering. You'll find all you ever want to know and more about tire feathering, alignment, how crappy the RE-040s are, and how owners are getting screwed over by dealers and NNA. But like he said, since you have a 2003, you'll get free tires I think until the car is 2 years old.

 

whoa! Talk about off topic... here, let me bring it back...

dilledille... i'd get that fixed, it'll probably be even louder on Tail of the Dragon!

 

Nice. How about this, I got rid of those noisy RE040s and bought new Eagle F1 GS-D3s because I wanted new tires before I went to Zdayz.

 

Yes please!! :: Stands in line patiently with a joyful smile::

 

I think I might get screwed if he charged by the square foot. That would be about twice the sufface area of a Z.

Bummed again

Also I found my Easter egg http://www.killboy.com/ Scroll down a little, I'm the 6th one down. I'm just trying to put a little rubber down for my friends. Always trying to lend a helping hand/tire. See you folks up there soon.

 

How about $50 a square foot? That way I can get my new wheels paid off really fast.

 

Dude that is harsh. I might be able to afford the hood at that rate.

See ya there dude.
