1st - Z Car Garage
2nd - DDMotorsports
3rd - Mines

That's so weird! I think it's the color combo that won mini his 1st place. Platinum Graphite is an amazing color. First time I saw it in person, I was

. Then, when you add persimmon leather to that, it's like the perfect combination.

As soon as DDM mentioned that it was an older crowd, then everything stated to make sense. Older folks will always vote for less aggressive, clean look.

Congrats to all of you guys!

yeah i remember when i went to TORC(toyota owners restorers club) car show
my celica was highly agressive looking with almost evry bolt on
lost to another celica who had everybolt on as well but no kit just stock
so yeah you can guess since its a restorers club most of the judges where older folks

but its all good

Thanks Braden for not giving me a hard time. How did u fit the trophie in your car. It's bigger than your car. LOL. Seriously, it's all good. It was really fun. Even though I was a little tired. Nice meeting you Mike. Got to meet alot of nice Z enthusiast.

BerkTech · 04-27-2009, 09:07 PM

Congrats Minicobra & DoubleDown! If only there weren't those giant poisonous bugs flying in from the lake......

Minicobra's car. 1st Place - stock class

DDM's car. 2nd Place - Mod class

The Mines Z. 3rd Place - Mod class.

And one of my favorites cars of all time, Todd's 240Z.

Congrats!!! You know, at first I was not a fan of the blacked out lip/fangs, but that look is really starting to grow on me!

I was fortunate enough to take home best in class for the 370z stock entry.
I told Paul from Amplified Motorsports, that I wouldn't make a big deal about it, being the humble guy that I am.

oh man congrats!!! love the pics.

Thanks for the pics Bryan! Those bugs were huge with giant teeth and a thirst for human blood.

Yeah, no problem

I had to strap it to the top of my car, it was so heavy, I captured a few of those gigantic mutant bugs that were attacking Mike from DD, and they were able to lift it on top using some straps made from a racing harness.

Bryan, thanks for the cool pics, your friends Orange 240 is awesome! All in all it was a lot of fun, cant wait for the next one.

there are a couple here: 370Z Exhaust Sound Clip data base
this is with Nismo CB exhaust, but there are some others that are posted in the same thread with just the Berk's

kgreen · 04-29-2009, 12:32 AM

your combo sounds the best IMO!

mikes · 04-29-2009, 01:08 AM

It was definitely a good time. It seems like the judging at these things is biased towards "fewer" stickers...

Anyway, this was the baddest "streetable" Z I saw at the show:

The build sheet listed Porsche 8-way power leather seats, AC, power windows, power locks and a bunch of other suspension and interior mods.

How that thing didn't win best of show is beyond me...

Gratz to the winners!

It was a great show and was my first time attending. Only bummer was having to park the Z up in the dried out field.

Had I known I would have registered just to get good parking next to you guys. All good though, I was able to meet Paul from Amplified and a bunch of others on the classic side.

Anyone see the 240z paint job with the little stick figures in naughty "positions" painted onto hidden locations on the car? good stuff.

Here's a pic of the bone stock 370z next to the Nissan Sport booth...
