Whoa. I just found a bunch of Arkansans. I, too, dwell in the central Arkansas area!

 

Welcome! Glad to see another Z owner in the Central AR area!

 

mandy

Welcome, Pics of your car are awsome.

 

Thank you! Anyone ever go to the Mountain Home area? I think I'm about to take a job there. It's a lot smaller than my hometown (Conway), but it looks beautiful.

 

hey arkansas people

 

must be the new spyware crap i got on the pc?

 

Been there, there is def not alot to do there!

 

grrrrrreat...
I'm likin' the salary I'm being offered though so I'll probably soon be moving. I did see two Z's while I was up there for the interview, so maybe I can make some friends

...probably old people in them though.

 

It's pretty, and if you like lakes,fishing,hiking,etc. im sure you'll enjoy it.

 

hey..............

 

what's goin on in da big town of ms..........goin to Zdayz?????

 

I asked that! Is anyone else here besides me wanting/planning a trip to ZDayz this year? This would be my first time so I def wanna try and go!

 

yea, we will be plannin a trip the closer it gets. We had 3 cars leave from here last year and picked up 2 in Memphis and 5 more in TN..? Anyway had a blast though rained most of the trip, caravan was awesome... Just watch posts here....

 

I really haven't decided if im going this year?

 

Haha I mean, apparently the town's just a big old retirement village basically.

 

ugh.. finally back from CA, trying to get caught up.

I *want* to go. I have the vacation time. And gawd knows if they make the changes they've mentioned, the events will be much better. I think I could have alot more fun now that I know what to expect. but for me, it's probably going to boil down to money. I really can't put off the money pit any longer.

I hesitate to throw a number out there, because some of you made the trip without spending as much. But all totalled, I think I spend over a grand on the trip. With 3 bathroom remodels coming up, I'm gonna have to look pretty hard into where I spend my cash.

I've frozen my mods for awhile. I dont have anything really expensive to do, it just adds up. fast. When I finish the house, I'm gonna get stupid with mods. Anyway, I'm not sure how much I'll budget for the Dragon. If gas stays cheap, maybe get an angle on a room in a cabin, no donations to the Tennessee highway patrol, try not to destroy my $$$$ tires, I could still be persuaded to go. It was a really fun trip and honestly, you can go for many different reasons and have a great time.

If there are going to be a few of you central AR guys making the trip to Zdayz, I'd be interested in going.

Just have to let me know what time you want to meet, and where. I've got about a 3hr drive from here to little rock.

Last year, did you guys make the trip straight through?

-Tim

 

yep, straight thru, let Thursday morning at 7 and got there around 8? We stopped for lunch, gas....

 

we met *very* early on Thursday morning at the Protho Junction exit just to the east of Little Rock. Since people were coming from West LR, south of LR and Jacksonville, that just made sense.

Now that they are actually planning events on Thursday, some may want to leave earlier, like Wednesday. However, leaving at 6am, having lunch along the way, and maybe alittle traffic means arriving on the Dragon past dark. Which is no big deal, just alittle daunting for a noob like me. While Adam and DJ left us all mins behind (which on the dragon is just crazy), Steve led the rest of us (8 cars I think) and even in the rain and fog, it was both fun and scary. Really, it's alot more enjoyable to run it your first time(s) with others who've done it a few times. Nobody in our group would push you past your limits. I was pretty conservative and we were still able to stay together and w/radios, and keep it very safe (calling wet road, debris, crazy motorcycles, 5-oh, equipment checks/cool downs)
