Kevr6's 370 Story

ZCarMan · 07-24-2011, 04:54 PM

Kevin, it was good to see you at ZCON last week. Your Z always looks spectacular and I dig the orbs! See you at Z Nationals in September!

This is the only photo that I have (at Fort Jackson) that is anywhere near clear that kind of shows your orbs and my single LEDs together. My other pics from head on had too much glare on my point and shoot digital.

Your pic probably came out a pinch better them my shot! I enjoyed talking car stuff with you! You should definately attend ZNats!! I think ZCON is turning out to be for the older model Z cars primarily!

Saw your car at the show Friday. Looked great. Still cant figure out how you go third.

Actually I placed second. The first place Nismo belonged to Chris Karl. He had intakes and a shift knob on his car.
He actually made up the judging criteria, so he knew just where to clean. I'm guessing that's why he won!! To me that's a confict of interest, but what do I know.
(It was funny how he left the pic of my car out during the slide show announcements at the banquet! He knew the crowd would not agree.)
I have a pic of that!!

Also, my car was spotless and the judges were knit picking to the extreme!

I've judged VW/Audi shows 6 years in a row that were three times as large so I have some experience.
One major part of judging a "Modified" class is how the vehicle was modified and how it all ties together. The guys that were judging admitted that their cars were stock!! They shouldn't have been judges. It's over and Z Nationals is coming up soon!! That is a real show and I can't wait!!

I too was perplexed by the whole thing. I figured the best I'd do was maybe third if I was lucky in Street Modified. Then found out I took first in stock (I'm considered stock, really?) in addition to People's Choice for 370Zs. When I didn't see Kevin in first I just said, "WTF?". Very odd to me but I have little experience in these sanctioned things. I guess I'll wait to see the official tally to see just what transpired. I too am looking forward to Z Nationals!
