thanks guys! you too hoser! and yup Sam, i was talking with you and tony right after the fiasco that was the group shot lolz. i swear, i wish that guy all the luck in the world but wow... (i'll stop there)

HK it was nice meeting you. You too DarkPath

Likewise Sam. Glad someone could get a car in that piece of crap driveway! LOL!

wait........ you were there? if we met i TOTALLY didn't even know that was you bluuuu... my bad! :ugh2:

Wow, lookin good. Was great meeting everyone.

Tony's car looks fantastic!

He got 1st Place in the Wild Category in the Car Show. :tup:

I came through Cherohala to Fontana, down the dragon, back up and out cherohala on saturday. I think I had the only Black Cherry 370 there.

Some really nice cars up there.

I drove by the photo shoot when I was chasing the skylines that parked in the area where the photo shoot is and I had go pro camera on top on my z. It looked good with sunset feeling with misty foggy man I love it !!!:icon18:

Sweet pic of Tony's Z!

Nice meeting all of you guys. I know most of it was pretty brief, but I'm sure I'll see a bunch of you guys again next year. Mike -- I saw you drive by a couple times (car looks sweet) but never was able to track you down.

Anyways, I had a great time my first time out. Lessons to take away for next year:

Use the Go Pro to record on the Cherohala Skyway... Drive hard... drink harder!!!

^^ good to meet you steve and thanks!

yea i saw you fly by with the GTR's... eagerly awaiting vids!!

Omg that picture motivated me remove the swirls from my Z panel by panel using only some polishing pads haha. It's working..
Thanks for a sexy pic.

Sorry to quote it yet again.. but great shot! Looking forward to more of Patrick's pictures :)

FTP the vids Steve! ;-)

sending you an email ryan...

It was my first year and I had a great time! It was good to meet a lot of you at Fontana Village. See you next year!

Fontana Village really is a perfect place to host all this stuff. I had a blast.

The lack of cell service everywhere but the lodge kind of sucks, but the Mid-A NOVA crew was equipped with two-way radios which were a life saver!!!

yea i'm gonna have to get a 2way radio for next year... great idea since it's such a relatively small area... maybe if we all cross our fingers next year we can do another "dam photo" like last year so it won't take 2 hours to setup...

holy shitt that turned out great!!!!!!

^^ thanks!!

We had six cars caravan down on Thursday and really were only planning on using the two-ways for that, but they ended up being used all weekend long. Members of our group had cabins all the way up the hill and the rest were at the lodge. The radios covered the entire property perfectly and made it really easy to figure out where people were and what we wanted to do! MUST HAVE if you ask me, especially if you're with a group. :tup:

yea would have been great for me to have, i will next year. sorry to anyone who headed out to the dam at 5pm saturday but i wasn't there. i got tied up (for no reason turns out :( ) to do something else. next year we will try to fit in more chassis specific group photos on the schedule, that's gonna be my big "push" on bryan for next year :)

We all had a great time, and great meeting many of you. Did anyone get a final count o370Z's at the event? I am guessing at least 20?

Here are some pics I took from the Airstrip Event.

Sorry .. I did not get a final count of 370's.


This is how I felt after a night of Skull Vodka, several Rum drinks, and the numerous Woady beers:

My first run up to the top of the Dragon - I must say it was challenging to keep up with this crew!

I could stare at views like this forever!

TipZ, your car looked awesome in person, man! The finish on those wheels is amazing!

+1 Great detail.

Nice to finally put a face to the names guys! I had a great time! Those roads are amazing out there. I will definitely be back! 20 hours round trip and the Z did amazing!

What a fun trip! Awesome meeting everyone! Next year is a must! And those photos by TipZ look awesome! And that one teaser pic by HK.....:eek: WOW! I can't wait to see moar! Oh.....and.....


http://www.the370z.com/attachment.ph...5&d=1274717681


"Extreme" class next year? I think so!! :tup:

congrats tony, i told you that you had nothing to worry about!!!!!!!

Glad you got to take home some hardware, Tony! The Z looks sweet! Can't wait to see what you bring next year... whatever it is, we HAVE to get it on the Dragon!!! :D

:bowrofl: Yeah and ya got to drive The Smurf!!! :tup: And darn it if I didn't have a screw....a BROKEN screw....in the passenger side tire. She's all patched up now! ;)

sounds good, you'll be ready for the next show now!!!!!!

you need to think about playing more beer pong:bowrofl:

congrats on the win tony!

HK, nice photos bud! Damn that one of the smurf in the fog is amazing.

Ok, I give you my word that next year I will take The Smurf out on The Dragon no matter what condition she's in. Body kit, supercharger, whatever.....I'll do it. ;)


Yeah! Gotta start practicing with Diet Coke!! :bowrofl:



Thanks! :tup: Can't wait to see what your photos of my car might lead too! ;)

Yes...was a blast!

FYI - Some pics are up on US129Phots.com and kilboy.com

Also - seems like next year we should start a fund to help cover cost of speeding tickets ( and insurance premiums) for the unlikely Z owners getting tickets on the Dragon. Atleast some kind of "Take One For The Z-Team Award". Thanks for taking the heat while I...uhmm...bent the law!!

Unless you are balls out it's tough to get a speeding ticket on the Dragon. The group that we were in pretty much stuck to the speed limit... well... 35-40 anyways as at that speed you can still have plenty of fun with the tight corners. I think the big thing of the weekend was STAY IN YOUR LANE!!! I heard about the $500 reckless driving tickets for putting a wheel over!

Now 28 to and from... yeah, you could get busted for big speed there. :driving:

I don't know if you guys saw the trailer with the wrecked 350 on Sunday morning. Yikes.

*cough* 28 *cough*

I blame toophip.

AH THAT SUCKS! Atleast it was not something major. As fast as you were loosing air, it had to be a puncture or a bad valve stem.

Glad I got to meet everyone this weekend. I know I spoke with Tony, Lou, Mike and Jon quite a bit. I hope everyone made it back home safely and look forward to next time around.

BTW...are you guys planning a reunion tour to Nashville by chance?

I never broke 90 MPH on that road! What's the worst that could have happened??? ;-) Oh wait, ask the Sammich guy... :ughdance:
