The roads there are amazing. I think I enjoyed 28 the most. While the Dragon is awesome its also just as scary. The amont of shady sh!t I saw in just a few runs was unbelieveable. Not to mention driving up it prior to my arrival at FVR and seeing a 350 in the woods

Glad you enjoyed it. I was supposed to pay you for the decals but forgot. Pm me your PayPal info and I'll send the money.

We have about 150 to go. Dana has been driving since we got to VA so I have actually been able to relax. Really nice out today.

Hellbender has always scared me.

Now it scares me even more.

Home safely, hope you all make/made it as well. Had another BLAST!
Quick summary:
-Fuel starvation is really bad @ 1/4 tank
-I now know why Dai said to change my clutch fluid... (hint- it stopped working)

-Weather was amazing
-Great meeting all of the different people
-I want more parts than ever...
-BLUEZ <-license plate (280Z) following me through the dragon was awesome!
-I won the Z Speed Performance Under Pan!

Cant wait till 2013!

I think it was 2-3 350s this year. One was in a ditch at the resort somewhere. Another one (blue) looked like it was smashed pretty good. Everyone was OK from what I heard.

I heard that a biker died on Friday but didn't confirm. I know shadoquad and his mom had to administer first aid to a biker and passenger that they saw go down in front of them.

Rick, from our club, picked up a 350 guy and dropped him off with the police (he was OK). He smacked the wall on 129. He said it was either hit a biker that was in his lane or eat the wall. Passenger side airbag deployed. He thought he could drive it but the radiator fan was grinding something and front passenger fender was eating tire...

JK!

Haha ugh. I would hate to take a trailer in on the dragon. Even in on the tight section of 28 right before the resort... no way. One of our club members may be trailering his next year.

Home safely. Great to see everyone. Torpedo, I managed to miss out on meeting you a second year in a row. I hope you had a great time.

I will poast pix, either here or if a separate Zdayz pix thread pops up, in a few days.

m4a1mustang · 05-20-2012, 04:48 PM

Made it back home. It was nice riding shotgun for 3/4 of the trip. Going to go through video and pictures later and I'll have them uploaded as soon as I can.
