That was a solid run Jason! This was c16 and 21psi, I wish we could have done a 60-160 pull that would explain alot!

Great run!! Gotcha Biotch! See you next year buddy!

Haha, your luck we didnt run after Sharif adjusted the tune.

Next year I will be running full 24 psi, instead of 21 psi but like is said thats all it took to get the job done

Hal,
Hopefully next year ill have my new toy out!

It was nice meeting and running you man. Your car is down right amazing. Just watched your YouTube video in your sig and ........ how the hell are you VQ TT guys making so much damn tq.

I had a stock block and stock clutch and still won some races! I didn't even bother trying to run zmedic, blackbird, dil, toastz, or Hal because even with getting lucky and having traction they probably still would've passed me by just pedaling it haha But what's with the TT HR guys come on, I was the only one out representing us! lol

Great videos from the event guys. I TRULY, regret not being able to go.

The feeling of being at ZdayZ around other Z/G enthusiasts cant be beat, all the drama and BS of the forums goes out the window, and everybody has fun.

Thanks for sharing the vids.

It always cracks me up when someone that hasn't been say they don't want to go because they don't want to run into someone. No one fuggin cares about the crap that goes on here over there

Sucks I missed it this year, I better be there next year.

+1. Even e-thugs can get along at ZDayz. I hate that I missed it this year, too, but family comes first. I will bring you some purple drank next year.

Anyone planning to go next year best make reservations EARLY.

I think most people reserved their rooms and cabins before they left.

I came back from south GA early on Saturday and called *thinking* I might go up for the day...(quickly remembered everyone usually cuts out early on Sunday morning, so opted not to waste my cash)...and they had 21 rooms available for Sat night. Seems a lot of people cancelled this year.

It was due to rain on Sunday, so many cut out a little bit early. Saturday was nice though. The Fontana folks were nice about not making me pay for Sat night (even though I had it reserved and cancelled).

Probably.
Yup I agree. This is a fun and simple moderate speed (140mph) grudge match. I longer airstrip would add a lot of liability, safety, cost, and complexity. This year, I decided to let people run without helmets given the "fun run" nature of the event. What did you all thing of going bare back?

This event was informal and fun - and for safety, probably just the right size. I liked the no helmet requirement. Thanks for hosting Sharif!
