I'm going to bet that Patrick hasn't washed that Z since he bought it.

Ya I've washed it since I bought it, I've just been really lazy about it the last 3-4 weeks. I've been telling myself I need to do it but i just never got around to it. I do really really need to wash it.

Nice driving Jake. How many passes do you get out of the tires?

I have a seat open for the drive down to COTA if you looking for a ride.

Scott....where you been....missed you....glad to hear from you.

What about the "Parade laps" ? Wouldn't everybody want to drive their own car down there so they can drive on the course ?

That would be the only reason I would go down there is for the parade laps....unless I'm understanding it wrong ???

Chris, you're understanding correctly. Jake is the only Z guy not taking his cause it's not road trip worthy. The only negative is that they can't guarantee that we'll get to do the parade laps. It's highly expected, but not quite guaranteed.

You need to go Chris. For sure.

Wait a minute....you mean there is not a guarantee that you guys will not get to drive the Parade Laps ? Huh ? WTF ?

I guess it does say that Parade Laps depend on level of participation....so you guys better participate !

Just flying to much on the weekends to come out and join in the fun.

I just put in a transfer to the base in Houston so I should have a little better control of my schedule and more luck getting the weekends off for racing. Maybe April or May so I am hopping for more racing this year.

Chris - no guarantee, but most likely it will happen.

Scott - I hope that works out for you. I got a call today confirming a transfer myself. It's going to be a pay cut (fewer hours), but it will be a much better schedule. Monday through friday and I won't have to get up at 2:00am.

I would go for a meet....Bone Daddy's or Redneck .... just not Tilted kilt.

We should meet a bit later, like around 4 or 5.....I'm not really into getting buzzed in the afternoon....I fall asleep by 7pm....

At least if we start around 4-5pm then I can keep my buzz going at home !

Travis, set up a new thread for the meet. Personally, I'm down for Saturday at like 5 or 6PM, or Sunday any time.

Are we actually bringing the Zs, or no? I'll bring mine if the weather's good, as long as I'm not 1 of 2 Zs

It will nice to see you more on the weekends. No more excuses for races.

Ha I actually made quite a few races last year. I'll kind of be taking it in the A$$ with a hefty pay cut (less hours), but like I mentioned before it's a better schedule and I should be happier. I'm just glad I got all my big parts for the Z last year with all my overtime. Now I just need front tires and brake pads for this year.
