That painters tape is used for deflecting rocks im guessing?

yea to save the paint a bit on the long highway trip.

Ahhh, cool, thanks.. I didnt even know.

welcome lol and like what steve said it better to go back to front so the air doesnt rip it off.

Thanks guys im going to get 8 rolls. I was already thinking how the blue will match as well. Thanks for the tip on back to front pattern also i had not thought of that yet.

Ryan you know if you can make it yet?

I saw this last year when checking in at the Lodge. Crazy, I tell you!!! The driver said that it held up pretty well. I have mine wrapped with the Clear Bra which really helped last year. It didn't help the windshield when I was behind the gravel truck in WV! Rocks were flying everywhere, so I had to do about 100 to get away from this idiot. Fortunately, the window only suffered a very small nick which didn't require any fix. To those who are going to use painters tape; make sure not to wrap the windows!!!

Just tape the whole car and roll in Monterrey Blue for the day.

i plan on doing at least half my hood, half fenders, possibly mirrors, and possibly fender flare corners (rockers) where rocks may kick out.

what would that make mine then? lol it already is Monterrey Blue :bowrofl:

You sir do not get to roll incognito to ZDayZ. Sorry :D

Or you can find some different colored painters tape. Here this Frog tape will work :tup:

Amazon.com: FrogTape 1358463 Multi-Surface Painting Tape, Green, 0.94-Inch Wide by 60 Yards Long: Home Improvement

Keep it Froggy Fresh!

haha yes but if i roll with blue tape (which i already have) i'll be protected and look stock as well :tup:

Maybe next year perhaps you can be froggy fresh!

or get some green and alternate the colors this year lol

Dude, you guys are really serious about this tape thing.

Well I am attending this year so since I do not own any painters tape at the moment I may opt for the green stuff. But you can dare to be different and mix 'n' match. Throw in some performance stickers on top for good measure though. Or at least some scratch 'n' sniff stickers.

ill see what i can do. maybe ill get artistic with some pin striping tape :bowrofl:

Just a reminder, folks. We are now about 3 months from this sort of thing...

I'm 3 days away :)

plus i really enjoy my guest appearance in the last 1 second of that vid :)

ZZZGAAAYZZZ WoooOoOOOoO

Zgayz ftw

I'm so excited for my first zdayz trip :) may cant get here fast enough.

Oh good, a Virgen....

:ugh2:

My virginity is up for grabs. Who wants it? :yum:

My advice to you and any other first timers...

When driving the Dragon, the Hellbender, and/or the Cherohala Skyway for the first time...

Be patient and take your time. Learn those roads first before pushing anything. They have the reputation for being dangerous for a reason. The folks who have been there for several years running may attempt to drive it faster, but that's because they have an expectation of what's around every corner. And even then, you never fully KNOW what's around that next blind corner. Could be a semi or another motorist crossing the center line. Always be aware. I'm sure other Zdayz vets can attest to this.

Also, and this is my personal opinion, be courteous to the locals on the roads. Don't tailgate, don't be rude at shops and gas stops. Don't flip people off. Don't instigate things with bikers. Probably goes without saying, but the less negative attention we draw to the event, the better.

What kind of person are you saying I am? Lol

I understand that the dragon is not to be messed with until I know it. I'm just tryin to see some cars, drive the roads, see friends, meet new ones, drink so alcohol, and have a great time :tup:

lol I wasn't picking on you in particular, bruv. :D Just putting that out there for errybody.

Lol I know just making a joke

We may not be able to make it now, our new house may be closing the week of Zdayz. Im not canceling yet though because it is just an estimate. A buyer backed out of the contract of the house we were going to build so our 6 month wait is now 3.

hey i got a question for you veterans in here. do you have to pay the balance of your cabin/room off prior to going down or when you arrive? i can easily do either i just never thought to ask when i made my reservation lol

I have driven the dragon numerous times(in the teens), the skyway a few times, but I actually have never driven the hellbender. :(

this coming sunday Jacob i might make a trip up through there. ive scouted a route around 220 miles I might go for.

****.. this sunday is that event lol.

scratch that.

Dang, if you decide to go hit me up!

I'll be at Carlisle. I'd rather be at this but I was already committed by my club.

Good luck to your ride, man! I hope you bring home some hardware :D

when you check out, just like any other hotel. give them the card when you arrive and settle when you leave.

Ok. I probably will pay off my balance in cash when I get there and let them hold the credit card for incidentals.

Hey my family is staying a week in a cabin out in Tennessee in April, I may get to hit the dragon on my way out there and on my way back, depending on where this resort area is.

That's some great advice. I was a virgin last year, and there were a few times that I let others get the best of me. I tried to "push" the Z at a pace that I was not the most confident with, so my survival instincts kicked in and I slowed to a more comfortable driving mindset :driving:. All I know is that the car has greater capabilities than I do. Only drive to your abilities and everything will be fine. When someone is behind you that seems anxious to "open it up", try to get out of their way and let them pass. Like the OP said, "they have a reputation of being dangerous for a reason."
