I found another route that avoids the dragon. Local peeps, what do you think about this? Dallas crew can join us in Shreveport like O&G suggested.

MapQuest Maps - Driving Directions - Map

3.5 hours to Shreveport from us Dallas folk. That's probly a good spot. It's funny this stuff is usually arranged a week in advance instead of months in advance lol. So Ron you aren't driving te Z on the way there? That's half the fun!

fun = driving the tail
fun =/= driving 16 hrs PLUS the tail :icon14:

they, wanna invest in a trailer? :icon17:

Don't wanna put that many miles on it and the clutch I got for the TT is a bit stiffer than I anticipated lol. But if we get no trailer then I don't mind driving it :D

It goes both ways. Some guys come alone and others bring their ladies with them. I've brought my Wife each year. She doesn't drive the dragon (motion sick) but we all still manage to have a great time! Some folks participate in all the events and others pick and choose. Thats the great thing about ZDayZ, you can do whatever and its all good!

The last two years I went solo but this year my girl is going to drive our S2000 down.

so you basically wanna know if there'll be any kind of whoring... :stirthepot: yes, there will be... but it may be just dudes whoring around to get a room to stay the night :roflpuke2:

I bring both my lovers. One holds the wheel and the other shifts. :driving:

:icon18:

:shakes head: :facepalm:

:bowrofl::bowrofl:

Feel free to share now..:tup:

ZdayZ:
Thusday Forged Performance Top Dawg Air Strip event
Thursday Night ZdayZ trivia

Friday mountain Cruize of some flavor, Dam Foto
Friday night, welcome dinner, party

Saturday car show, exhaust sound off
Saturday Night, awards dinner, PARTY

There will be some concurrent events as well, such as frisbee golf and perhaps a scavenger hunt, stay tuned for details

The biggest difference is the event t shirt, primaries get a thsirt included with registration and guests do not. There are other subtle perks for being Primary verses Guest, but I need to solidify those up before posting them.

technically, yes. see my other answer tho, the guests do not get a tshirt included with registration

There are 50+ ladies at the event, including mine.

Patrick your hand doesn't count as a lady, no matter how you dress it up

If you are coming in from Texas, then get on I40 East, exit 27 in North Carolina (HWY 74 West) until HWY 28 North runs right into the village

That will add a couple hours drive, but it avoids the dragon with a long trailer

good route, better than my I 40 suggestions

So I'm considering leaving the 5.0 at home since it got to go last year and bringing just the S2000 instead. Might be a little expensive to bring two cars down. :icon17:

How are you liking it so far?? Any mods planned before ZDAYZ or is the budget too tight after the purchase?

So what do YOU do while Tony's driving? :roflpuke2:

:inoutroflpuke:

Steve's budget is never tight. :icon17:
Trollolololololol


@sfearl--I'm bringing the woman down this year as well

I love it. It's a true drivers car. The only ones that have given me this kind of feedback have been some of the P-cars I have driven but honestly this is more fun. The engineers were told to build a driver's car and that's what they did. It doesn't suffer from the same compromise as most "every day" cars like my 370Z and 5.0 because it really isn't designed to do anything but drive. I think it makes a great compliment to the 5.0 (or the 370) because it gives you that raw "driving only" experience that the other cars have to blend with comfort, practicality, etc. I would not want to drive this car every day, so it's good to have a more civil sporty "GT" car for primary use.

As far as mods go, I don't have any mechanical mods planned. If I take it to ZDayZ it needs summer tires and new rotors and pads.

I still need to install all of my suspension stuff on the Mustang, and if it goes to ZDayZ I need brake pads for it because I don't think the HPS pads will survive down there. It also needs new summer tires.

If I buy everything I need to prepare both cars it's going to cost about $3,100 in parts and mount/balance + alignment fees.

For tires, I budgeted for Michelin PSS on the 5.0. If I scale back and put Continental DW on it, I can buy Continental DW for the S as well and stay within my tire budget. So I'm mulling options around right now. I don't want to spend too much money, but I don't want to skimp out either.

You're a baller, you can do it :tup:

Yeah but I don't want to have to cut back on other things like guns and pcs and paying your high-end escort fees.

Paying for my high-end escorts? Sh*t, you volunteered one time... :ugh2:

I can't skip bringing my wife either.... :facepalm:

What day are you guys planned on getting there? I think we will get to fontana on the wednesday (16th) in the afternoon.

I think we're leaving on Tuesday the 15th this year to get an extra day of driving in :driving:

sht I don't know when I'll be arriving since the events page isn't complete yet :ugh:

fvck it, i'm flying in! :roflpuke2:

Half the fun is in the drive there! In a large caravan with 2-way radios, it's actually pretty entertaining (god help the people who came across our channel on the way down :icon17:)

yeah I bet.. poor ppl :p

but it's like 16 hrs from dallas :rofl2:

"wow, look at that Miata... if only our doors were as awesome as his" :bowrofl:

16 hours is a decent haul... might want to stop somewhere on the way and get a room for some sleep!

Epic!

:rofl2: oh sht... miata doors

I think we can knock out 16hr drive in one day.. might pushing it but might be doable :ugh:

Shado's so sweet :icon17:

After 16 hours of driving, I think my brain would be toast. Then again who knows, I drive a big comfy mommy car so it's anyone's guess :stirthepot:

Steve did mention that Shado is so sweet, he'll make your teeth rot :rofl2:

16 hours in one day....oh baby, that's a tough one. I think the longest I have ever went was 12 hours, up to northern michigan. I'm not saying it can't be done, but just be careful

O_O... how would STEVE know that?... :rofl2:

yeah, unfortunately my days off are kinda limited :(

I did 14 hours in my 350Z with 3 stops. The beer is REALLY REALLY good after that. :)
