Buncha guys from my local group are headed to this. Y'all have fun! My Z's in pieces...

[TomoHawk]

I still prefer the Ohio Dragon. The speed limit is 55 and there aren't any 70-foot trucks or 100-foot drop-offs.

[Travel'n Man]

Tail of the Dragon is now 35 MPH with no tractor trailers - they could not do much about the drop offs with that many twisty's you could not 55MPH without killing yourself anyway............

Anybody heading down this week?

Leaving Thursday morning, one 260Z and a GT-r.

[Travel'n Man]

My son (370Z) and I (240Z) are leaving on Thursday - stay the evening in Asheville and ride on in on the Blue Ridge Parkway on Friday AM - 600+ folks and 200 at the car show - should be a blast!

[clayton 260z]

Staying at the Nantahala Lodge and we are going to drive them like we stole them...
Look forward to seeing you there...

Dang! If I were out there I'd be running thar all the time. Looks like a fun drive-although with 600 cars it could get a bit crowded. Please post video if possible.

[Travel'n Man]

What a great time everybody had at this event..perfect weather, one of the best driving roads in the nation - US 129 Tail of the Dragon, and great fellowship. My son and I traveled the Blue Ridge Parkway and it was much better than traveling any interstate at any time

Mitchell,
Glad you won. It was good to put a face on the Travel'n Man. As you stated, what a good time had by all. Sad to say that David's GT-R had to go to Atlanta for repairs but still had a good time. Hope to see you there next year keep in touch and ride safe.

I have a ton of pictures from Zdayz-I'll round the S30s up and post them to a new album in my gallery over the next few days-those of you who haven't been to a Zdayz, better hurry up, I reserved my room for next year while I was there! Bryan and his crew have made it a terrific event, and next year will only be better! It is a great Z experience with an unbeatable driving experience!
