LOL man, I think I may be able to afford a mirror!!!!!!
Is there a two for one deal?

I'm going to be in my 2.0 litre Jetta. My Z is down in the middle of a build...

So my auto-x car is coming out to play. I can't wait to go again; this time I will have my own car so I can't be left behind.

 

Posted on the public calendar.

 

Nice! Thanks for adding us to the calendar!

 

It's official! We now have over 100 rooms booked at FVR (104 to be precise). There are no more lodge rooms available, only cabins. Not sure how many though... the next nearest lodging is a 10-15 minute drive down the road so if you want to be onsite, call FVR soon.

Many good things are coming together behind the scenes this week. Despite all we've told you, I think we'll still manage a few surprises. Next newsletter coming in a week or so.

 

McDuck you have done an awesome job organizing this event!! I hope I can make it--it sounds like a lot of fun!!

 

Jen... if you don't make, I will be completely heartbroken! I haven't seen you since we did that day drive down my way a few months ago.

Hopefully, I will be able to offer some further incentive to you (and all others) sitting on the fence soon. Last trip to Tail, I got some awesome side mount footage of my run. Working on a video that I hope to put on the zdayz website in the coming weeks.

 

For fun, I put together a US map showing where our attendees are coming from. This represents all confirmed attendees (those who have sent us a prereg/preorder form). I'm sure the count will go up. So far, we have people coming from 21 states and Canada for ZDayZ. Of those, only once, Colorado, has people attending without their Zs. (shame on you, Bob! )

In any case, I will be posting this to our website and will host a link so the most current version of the map will pop up. The attached image is as of April 13th.

 

ok...well i am totally going to double up that weekend. One zday event in tenn on saturday and one wedding sunday in DC, coming right up!!

I took your advice and posted a thread: Carolina Springtime Jamboree (i am getting bold)... So if you are interested in Pre ZDay festivities in Winston...put in your $.02.

(btw due to controversial identity crisis my username is tenacious-j...oh the scandal!!)

 

i like your map...did you steal it from the presidential election?? lol

 

actually, yes I did, though my choice to use "red" was completely arbitrary...

 

Maybe Lemans Sunset would be more appropriate.

 

Big A, make KS red!!

 

Really? That means MO will be gray... I'll fix it... just thought you were in KC, MO for some reason...

 

I am leaving for the Tail on Friday the 20th at around 10:00am from Atlanta. Anyone interested in a caravan out of Atlanta?

 

^^If you have an 88SS you should bring that too. Nice rare Z.

 

Andy, don't slight New Mexico, what do you think, I live with Bob.

Make NM red.

 

I'm in Maryland (we're as blue as it gets despite the red), but I thought there were a bunch of folks from Virginia, like kcobean, coming.

 

April 18, 2005

Greetings, everyone!

With just over a month to go, ZDayZ is shaping up to be one of the best Z events of the year! At last count, Fontana Village was nearing capacity with over 100 room reservations! And, so far, we have pre-registered more Zs for this year’s car show than we had in total last year! Remember, we’ve extended registration until April 30th. So, you still have a little time to get signed up for the car show or to pre-order your event t-shirts at discounted rates.


ZDayZ Sponsors Giveaways
If hanging out with your Z-buddies isn’t enough to get you motivated, perhaps you can be enticed by the prizes being graciously donated by our sponsors (and even some donated by “unofficial” ZDayZ sponsors!). The items received will be given away at various activities throughout the weekend. Your best chance to walk away with some Z-booty will be during the Friday Welcome Dinner, the Car Show Raffle, or during the ZDayZ Texas Hold’em Tournament. Though, we will have prizes at other times to be announced at ZDayZ.

Boxes are still arriving with goodies. So, at this point, we cannot provide a full list of what we’ll be giving away yet. A small sample of items already waiting for a new home include a set of Hotchkis Sway Bars (from GSC motorsports), a Crawford Cast Plenum (from Crawford Z Car service), Gift Certificates for Concept Z Performance, Popchargers (from Jim Wolf Technology), plenty of Z goodies (from Courtesy Nissan), something really cool from Triangle Z Club which I will not announce until ZDayZ, and much more!

All our sponsors are kicking in prizes. Here is the “official” list of sponsors, in no particular order. We’ll be announcing a few late additions to this list at ZDayZ:

Sport Z Magazine
Fontana Village Resort
Concept Z Performance
GSC Motorsports
University Nissan
Crawford Z Car Service
Z1 Motorsports
KP Technologies
Tail of the Dragon, LCC
Courtesy Nissan Parts
Jim Wolf Technology
Zaino Bros Show Car Polish
350ZFRENZY.com
ZEETOYZ, Inc.


Prepping your car for ZDayZ
Driving any mountain road can be pretty demanding on your car. Before visiting ZDayZ and the mountains of NC and TN, we recommend giving your car an inspection to ensure everything is in good working order. The folks putting together the THSCC/TZC Track School events have a great safety inspection checklist. You can download it by right-clicking this link and “Save Target As…”. It is to your benefit to download it and check the items applicable to your car. This way you will be more likely to have an enjoyable and safe weekend on the mountain roads!


ZDayZ Car Show!
Saturday afternoon will be dominated by our 2nd Annual ZDayZ Car Show. Onsite registration and car show parking will begin just after lunch. Once all entrants have been parked and owners have a chance to put the last minute sparkle on their rides, voting will begin. The car show is Peoples Choice, so those entering the show are also the judges! Each entrant will receive a voting ballot to pick their favorite Z from each class. Votes will be tallied by ZDayZ staff and winners will be announced following raffle prize giveaways.

In addition to the Peoples Choice categories, we will present a few other special awards. Following is the full list of car show awards:

• 1st Generation Stock – Peoples Choice

ZDayZ Group Photo
Following the car show awards ceremony, we’ll direct all ZDayZ attendees, whether they were in the car show or not, to Fontana Dam where we will take a big group shot of all the Z cars together! Last year we squeezed close to 80 Z cars into our picture. This year, we hope to double that number! We’ll allow enough time for everyone to take their own pictures or video, but we also hope to have a professional photographer on site to capture this glorious display of Zs!



Featured Club Sponsor: Upstate Z Club


Based in Greenville, SC, Upstate Z Club is an enthusiastic and friendly bunch of Z car owners. Their members cover the whole spectrum… 240Z to 350Z, stock to modified to very modified. They arrived at ZDayZ 2004 with quite an array of cars and one of their members, Brian Wilmot, walked away with both the 2004 Best in Show award and the Sport Z Publishers’ Choice award! I suspect even more of them will show up for this year’s show. So be ready for some stiff competition! For more information about the club, visit their website, www.upstatezclub.com. Or, I’m sure, you can catch up with a few of them at ZDayZ!



Featured Sponsor: Jim Wolf Technology
For the second consecutive year, we’re happy to have Jim Wolf Technology as a sponsor of ZDayZ at Tail of the Dragon. Jim Wolf Technology, known to most as JWT, has been specializing in Datsun, Nissan, and Infiniti performance parts for over 30 years. Their product lines range from performance street pieces to factory race team parts. Simply put, JWT makes some of the best and most affordable aftermarket parts available for Z cars. Engine performance parts, ECU upgrades, clutches, flywheels, and more… chances are JWT has parts to make your 280ZX, 300ZX, or 350Z an even better performing sports car. Find more information at www.jimwolftechnology.com.





Featured Sponsor: ZEETOYZ, Inc

Note: you may get a few red ‘x’ for images above. New images are being uploaded to our website tonight and those red ‘x’s should go away after that.

 

yes, I have verified VA and updated it... just hasn't been posted yet. Art, I'll get NM updated today... though, I think maybe you guys should be bringing your Zs, not just attending, for your state to be red.
