Default Midwest Z Fest in Omaha - Pics!

The track day alone made the trip worth it. It was my first time taking the 350Z on a track and testing out all the modding I've done to it since 2004. All I can say is that I was very pleased with the performance. I learned that I need better brakes, but the suspension really helped me out. The thing that saved me is that I have Motul DOT 4 fluid and braided lines. I need new rotors (slotted) and new pads.

Anyway, the car show on Saturday had a great turnout and I think even more cars showed up for the banquet and awards. Now on with the pics! Everyone who went, please feel free to add your own pics to this thread.





I voted for this car to win Best of Show.

I wish I would have taken pics of the interior. It was so damn classy. He definitely deserved the Best of Show award.

Great videos! Thanks for not showing videos of you passing me repeatedly.

The white 300ZX was owned by a guy named Woody out of Denver. He also cleaned house trophy wise at Midwest Z Fest-Omaha 2007.

If this was your first track experience, MAM is a great place to do it. It is very flat and lots of room to run off -in the event of brake failure or just screwing up- without damaging your car.

There is a track day coming soon sponsored by Woodhouse, the mega-dealer who sponsored Midwest Z Fest. Fees are something like $75 for 1 day or $100 for two days. You MUST be a member of Z Cars of Nebraska to register. The last I read it was mostly Porsches and Vipers registered. Go to www.zcarsofnebraska.com for details.

Thanks for making the trip.
