It was great meeting so many of you this morning. Here's a pre-run shot at Denny's.

And another shot looking back at the group while waiting for a break in traffic.

See you at the next one!

Frenzee, Ask wld350z to make you a custom Camera Mount off the passenger side headrest. Then you can keep on line with less distractions.

Cheers Amy -

On the other side, very good movies, Frenzee.

You might also consider one of the little remote cameras. I have one from ChaseCam that attaches to the windshield (or any other flat surface) with suction cups, but I haven't tried it with the camcorder yet.

Nice run everyone, even with the additional traffic.

This run made me realize something that I hadn't thought much about prior.

On the previous (2) canyon runs I did (Simi Valley in late 2002 and Palomar in early 2003), all the Z's involved were basically set-up the same, as there were not any performance mods available yet (save for maybe a CAI or a grounding kit). There was a certain level of confidence a person could have, that with some basic driving skills, you knew your Z should be able to handle a certain group of twisties as well as the Z in front of you.

I realized this weekend that this is no longer as true. There is a very good chance that the Z you are following has capabilities that exceed your own, be it vehicle modifications, or driver experience.

Just something that I will keep in mind on the next run, and maybe something others might benefit from thinking about too.

probably the funniest part of the day was when me and Splurt got carded going into Dave & Busters. We just walked right in like we normally do and the guy at the door called us back. Should have seen the dumbfound look on my face.
