Default Forged Performance: 6th Annual ZDayZ Airport Strip Event

The time has come for our 6th Annual ZDayZ Airport Strip Event!


Just like previous years we have reserved the 3,075 feet long Hendersonville, NC Airport Landing Strip for an afternoon
of high performance automotive testing.



This is the perfect opportunity to legally test the performance of your vehicle against others in a safe and controlled environment.
With the strip receiving a fresh surface a few years ago, the strip is flat and smooth which permits cars to reach speeds of 140mph
and still allowing ample braking room!



While this event is officially part of the Nissan based ZDayZ Event, participants from the past years included not only Nissan
but also the owners of American V8s, Honda guys and the Evo/STI crowd. The diversity of this event makes the friendly smack talk
and the competitive nature even more enjoyable. With cars from 200whp up to 900whp at last year's event there was always someone
to "test" your car's performance against.



As always we will have "Top Dawg" trophy up for grabs to the owner of the fastest car participating!



DATE: May 16th from 11am to 4pm.

LOCATION: Hendersonville, NC Airport
1232 Shepherd St.
Hendersonville, NC 28792

REQUIREMENTS: Waiver/signatures as required by sponsor and/or insurance company.

COST: $145 per driver.

REFUNDS: None (not even for weather, just too unpredictable as we have learned).

Reserve your spot: Here

I'll be spectating. Hopefully. Last year I had no idea what was going on. I missed everything for Zdayz (except the drinking parts).

Besides the cabin and registration everything else is free at Zdayz (food and alcohol are not obviously).

And if you think you have what it takes to be a top dawg, $145 is not a lot of money to you.

Are you guys doing the NA and FI Top Dawgs or just one overall winner? It'll be a close competition between NA Z's for that #1 spot, but if another 1,000hp GTR shows up that'll pretty much be all she wrote for the FI Top Dawg haha

Spectating usually cost like 30$ a person. Worth it. I have a weddin to be in this year sob friend. But I'll be there next year. Went to zdayz in 07. I think first big dawg event it was a blast. Def should have NA bracket. I'd love to sock it to some mfs

So who's coming? How many we got signed up? I'm ready for some alpha 9s!

Hal and the Dynosty crew will be out there also! Lots of nifty stuff to discuss on this latest build - hope to see you all out in person at the airstrip!

Looks like barely any boosted Z's or G's showed up. Might have to put GTR's in their own class to get attendance back up or something

The sponsoring shop mainly does GTRs now, so its to be expected. There's no money in working on dated VQ platform anymore.

That's true too. Once people start realizing how much they're spending on a boosted VQ the GTR starts becoming a viable option, at least that's how it worked out for me haha.
