Hello folks, I'm bringing a selection of tools, nothing to overhaul a motor with but for re-torqueing wheels, bleeding brakes, spark plugs, etc...

Randy is correct, outdoor seating is at a premium!

Other than that, I would have your brakes flushed, and brakes checked, you'll use them on the dragon.

Be sure and pack your smile and your loud shirt for the contest! We need those.

Doug, Please don't forget the blender and remind Chris to bring a roll of Duct tape

LG

How about now? Looks good so far. Temperatures will be from mid-70s to low 80s for the whole weekend. Those coming from the North may experience slight showers (30%) on Thursday and Fontana may be hit with a brief shower on Friday (30%), but Friday night through the weekend will be clear. This is going to be the perfect weather. The rain is a good thing, as it keeps the bugs off our cars on our trek down to FVR.

I just spoke to my neighbor (Sti driver) and he films TV shows and commercials for the auto industry and events. He said that someone may be interested in filming the Zdayz's event next year for the Discovery Channel. The guy I am talking about produced the show Wheels for the Discovery Channel. He is an independant film maker. I will make sure I get a lot of good pictures to give to my neighbor to get that film maker interested.
mzack.... That sounds awesome! Be sure to track me down at ZDayZ. I'll get you my contact info and work out something with you for some videos we will be putting together so you're friend will have more to pass along. If there's some genuine interest, that kind of coverage would be awesome!!!

That... is... so... wrong...
Chris, I know you're not going to take that from a slow truck owner!

How about now?
Yep... looking good now Faluzure! Seems we have a slight chance to get wet on Friday, but the rest of the weekend should be sweet... and cooler than last year to boot!

You spelled it wrong, it is Sloe Truk

I just ordered my Carbotech XP1110 pads and will pick them up Wensday while I'm down there putting your brakes on. Mattt said the truck should do an endo when I stand on the peddal. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

Count down to continous grin has begun.

I just got back from a week trip in the smokies with a vette. Back to work for 3 days and then make the return trip in the Z. The Z is such a better car on the Dragon. I cant wait. Working 3 days out of 17 is so nice, too bad it cant be that way all the time.

FYI, Chris will not be attending. I will still bring duct tape in his honor . . .who knows it might come in handy for something.

Also I nominate Faluzure as the offical ZDayZ weather man. If the weather is not perfect we can blame him!

The Friday Nashville caravan is a go. Looks like we have six Zs and a truck so far. Again, departing at 10:30 AM from Crawford's.

BTW, If you are heading toward the Dragon from the West and end up behind a red Nissan Frontier Crew Cab with a canoe on top and a whole lot of stuff we are hauling for others, please be patient - that's my wife and kids. You won't miss it - the license plate reads "N2ZCARS". Wendy knows to pull over for you guys/gals when there's an opportunity. I'll be in the '77 Blue Beast following closely (and slowly) behind.

See you there!

Lightning Guy: My truck is SLOW (But my 280Z is quick).

We have a cabin - hopefully it has a hose bibb. I'm throwing the hose reel and supplies in the truck just in case. You guys can use our cabin as an alternate wash spot if it works out.

Since nobody answered your question, click here. Then put in your starting address. This will give you step by step directions on how to get there.
