I don't know how hard you have driven your Z, but imagine riding a hair pin turn (that are all banked in your favor btw) at good enough clip that you have to turn the wheel complete upside down. Doesn't make sense or seem to crazy to you? Wait until you do it.
Well last year I was on stock suspension and drove it pretty hard. I am hoping to be on tein mono flex coil overs this year.

Yea, the cabins are all gone, they have "member" rooms, but they're $249.00 a night and $10 more on weekends I lucked my way into a cabin last year, but had to "settle" for two adjorning rooms up at the resort. I hope it doesnt rain this year!

I still have a few cabins I'm holding for sponsors but I think we are about concrete on sponsors so I will have a few to release back for public consumption. I think I'll be releasing about 5 or so. They are also holding some of the more "rustic" cabins as they are not sure they want to rent them, they do not have central AC or Heat but they are cheap. $99 a night for 2 bed room 1 bath. They are called Dogwoods. If you want to "rough it" it is basically a solid wall tent but if you call them and they say there are no cabins left, try asking for a dogwood, tell them you know they are available and that they do not have heat or AC. They might let you rent them.

I'm just about ready for ZdayZ. It is only January and the staff and I have been working on ZdayZ for months now. It is really solidifying nicely now. I wish more people would register. seems odd that FVR is sold out and i have 13 people registered

Ive been in the Dogwoods! They aren't that bad!! Make them sound like a cave or something... there really isnt anything to rough at Fontana! Maybe I'm speaking from Michigan cabins that are normally a "walled tent" hahaha

Well I had a couple of people last year that had a rude awakening and I just don't want folks to be upset.

I was in the Army and there were many night I would have loved to had a dogwood over the sleeping conditions I had then.

I was in one last year, the one right across from the rec hall and at the end of the parking lot by the car wash area(mini put golf). Over all it was a nice cabin and definitely worth the money(since 3 people backed out and left me hanging on the bill), but the shower stall was kinda grody and rotten that was my only complaint. Other wise you did not need the ac, heat would have been kinda nice though it was cold in the morning.

There is an "other" category in the car show, but I understand if you are intimated by the Z cars I appreciate the registration, you'll have to take me for a spin in the lotus

No one wants to look at that little ugly car... but sure! I'll give ya a ride but I take it easy unless I'm at the track! Car can get twitchy on road bumps. Understand also your the Master and i'm the Padawan. Maybe some time I can get ya as an instructor at one of your favorite tracks! I'm touring this year! 8 scheduled days of local michigan tracks but open to heading all over! Putnam / Mid Ohio / Where-ever else I can get time at!
