Start enjoying ZDayZ!

Busy Roads!
If possible, arrive before ZDayZ starts to get some good clean runs on the Dragon. Despite our best efforts, there is always a crowd when we are there. We schedule our event long before anyone else lays claim to the same weekend in May, but cannot prevent them from selecting the same week afterwards.

By information available on www.TailoftheDragon.com, there will be no less than 8 motorcycle groups and 3 other car groups in Deals Gap while ZDayZ is going on! Needless to say, we’re not thrilled about this and you should not be either, but what can you do. One silver lining is the Poker Run on Friday takes folks well away from the Dragon most of the day and may lead to some exploration of other, less traveled roads during the rest of the weekend. Another plus… if you are fan of sports cars, one of the conflicting groups is the Ferrari Cup Challenge. So, it may be an opportunity to actually *park* roadside on the Dragon and see some fantastic cars you may not otherwise see. The Ferraris have their Dragon Run scheduled for Friday.

ZDayZ Performance Forum!
Finally, I’d like to take this opportunity to announce another new activity for ZDayZ 2007. Saturday, there will be a panel discussion on Z-car performance, modifications, and upgrades. All ZDayZ attendees are encouraged to attend. Question forms will be available at the Registration Deskt to submit questions to be asked during the Performance Forum. We will select as many questions as possible from those submitted to pose to our panel of experts. Each expert will have a set amount of time to weigh in on each question. Toward the end of the session, audience members will be allowed to ask questions directly to the various panelists.

We ask all questions be geared toward Z performance, modifications, and so forth. Questions requiring judgment of a particular business or product (for example “Who would you have install a TT kit?” or “Which intake is the best?”) will not be allowed. Similarly, questions about stock setups and Z-car history will be discouraged except where they pertain to enhancing Z-car performance. Mostly, we want this to be a fun, interactive session. Where else are you going to have access to some of the top Z tuners and part vendors in one place!

At this time, we have confirmed three panelists for the Performance Forum… Doug Stewart from Crawford Z Car Service, Russell Floyd from Z1 Motorsports, and Sharif Abdelbaset from Forged Internals. Others may be added prior the Forum.

Thank You Again!
We cannot say it enough and will surely repeat it at ZDayZ, but the organizing staff and I want to thank everyone who makes ZDayZ such a great event… all our supporting clubs; the great vendor sponsors who contribute their time and prize donations; Fontana Village for hosting the event; the great people of Fontana, Deals Gap, and Robbinsville who constantly tolerate the antics of groups such as ours; and… most of all… everyone who attends ZDayZ. Four years ago, we could not imagine ZDayZ would take off like it did, but we could not be prouder of the tradition we have established and all the friends we have made. ZDayZ 2007 isn’t quite here yet and we are already looking forward to putting together our 5th Anniversary event for you! See you next week!
