Had an amazing time, just going through all the pics now... Zdays staff words can't thank you enough. This is my one get away a year.
Just a PSA for all the newbies and new comers next year...
IT IS an unwritten rule that you kindly move aside for faster vehicles. You would think the Z and G guys would know this.
The only buzzkill of my weekend was getting behind 2 Z's on 2 seperate occasions that would not move aside. Even a yellow Impalla towing kayaks moved aside...
That being said.
Orange Z with the GTR wannabe front bumper and worst wheels in the world SCREW YOU. There were many times to pull over and even after I pushed you so hard you almost flew off the road you would still not get over. Please don't come back next year.
White Z with CCW wheels... Hella flush looks great but SUCKS on these roads... You know this and still would not move over. WHAT GIVES????
Rant over.
I think im just grumpy cause im back at work and it's rainy and cold... Damn you Ohio/...

I wish I had more time to play, I had 2 older teenagers wanting to party while we were gone. So Friday was the only day we had up there. Did the cruise to snowbird lodge and that was great! I got in a few fun little runs here and there. But like you said some people would just poke A$$ around and ruin the whole road! I did get into a Great short run with a grey 350 coupe on our way home that was AWESOME! My wife even got sick! She said it was fine and that it was just because she wasnt driving. I figured I was going to push it since we were going home and it was the best for last type of run! Cant wait for next year with a better set up and wheels. Didnt really have time to meet anyone but looking forward to next year! Great event!~

This was my first year at ZDayZ, but It will be far from my last. I would say next year couldnt come soon enough but Im glad I have a year to work on my Z and make it better for next year.

If you are having fun and driving within your lane and your limits, great.
But if you aren't stuck behind a slow vehicle and someone shows up in your rear-view mirror......YOU are the slow moving vehicle, and you need to move out of the way at the next safe pull-off area. (They are all over the Dragon)
I was stuck behind a sport bike who was stuck behind a girl on a Harley doing 20-ish. (and it wasn't too long before a line of cars formed behind her.) She held up traffic or 4 miles until she pulled into the dragon store.
I also sat behind a Ford SUV from Fontana to the dragon store.
The guy was averaging 20-30mph on HWY28. (my GPS thinks the PSL is 55)
Some people just seem to get off on holding others back.

^^^ I think everyone is slow to you Mike
I always got stuck behind someone before I had the chance to be the slow guy
That was me 
After that run my brakes were DONE; had to sit around for about 30 min, but Mike was nice enough to keep us company.
Best part of zdayz: My wife "You know, it seems like everyone here has aftermarket wheels. I think you need some...." My b-day is coming up

My wife also noted the number of 350s with exhaust and I may be given an added budget for that soon.

I wish I actually had a chance to run with some people who knew how to drive. Only time I did was on the way out and we all had luggage malfunctions lol.

Congrats on that comment. Ofcourse theres a fine line in not having stock wheels & having wheels that look better than stock. Im not gonna throw people under the bus but I did see a few (rare) Z's with terrible looking aftermarket wheels. Doesn't have to be pricey name brand but style and offset are very important.

Mine is going to be getting louder with the HFCs I won
I actually said something sig worthy? By all means then
Zdayz was so much fun and I got to me some real OGs from OH, wish I had gotten there even earlier, I think I need to go up on Thurs. next year and stay for beer pong

Of course the BEST ever mod ever were my PINK lug nuts lol...
