Thanks! I think MN makes more sense to have a roadster than FL... Honestly right about now its already too hot and humid to drop the top and there is no relief til August/September.

I'll be down for CnC (that automotorplex looks awesome!) and checking out some autoX.

Before I do anymore track events I'd really like to get changing a clutch under my belt... I feel like there has to be some serious wear from drifting... specially from all the clutch kicking.

Also I'd like to get a 1.5way LSD (i have the stock VLSD), change out my tie rods, and new end links.

I feel like if you are a lonely Z out there, parts are expensive and hard to come by... I used to be a wolfpack of 1... but when we all meet up for CnC it'll be nice to be in a pack again.

... honestly though, a single Z in the wild can eat most things for breakfast, but nothing beats strength in numbers.

Yeah, I agree that 600+ is too much for FVR. First year I went was about 180 or so, and it was great. The next year was even better. When you and I went, it wasn't bad.

I will definitely try next year, though. I got a lot of things going on right now.

Took the Z to work today and just like last year and the year before that I've noticed one major problem....... It's to facken slow..... I've owned the Z for almost 7 years now and I swear the time is coming....

Travis would really like a chance to take a ride or possibly drive your Z sometime.

nahhh, the more the merrier. The 8 G's that are heading down, we're actually working the exhaust soundoff. We're also going straight to the airstrip event on Thursday morning, which I believe most of us are running our cars on it.

There's the "customer built" 370z that will be present, not to mention Nissan, and Sharif's branch new fully built GTR. I'm f#ckin STOKED! The # count isn't going anywhere but up!

A large # of guys are talking about actually moving it out of Fontana because of the #'s. There is also talk of a bunch of us putting together another event out in Denver, CO in the mountains.

Your car should be just fine once you get that bish tuned. We're all going to have some fun up there...I still need to purchase different tires to run on Mike's stock 18's. ...eh...still got plenty of time. can do that after ZdayZ.

QUESTION for all of you.....who all has a GoPro? Travis I know you do, who else does? 2nd question, can we borrow them for ZdayZ??

Mike works at BestBuy so he's planning on picking up a couple just for the trip and then returning them, but figure i would save him as much hassle and ask if we could borrow any of your guys'. Lemme know, would really appreciate it!

Thanks!

Why not just keep them? Best buy employees get them for $150.

So what time should we bounce outta cnc and cruise? I'm thinkin if we're all gonna be there at like 7-730 for parking lets do a mid morning cruise at say 9-915? That doesn't sound terrible does it? I mean really how much time do we need to eat donuts and coffee and walk around..
