Z Nationals
 

I went to the 2012 Z Nationals in Carrollton, Ga. Z1 Motorsports is where it was held. This was my first time going and honestly it was an awesome time! If you havent been yet I would highly recommend going atleast once. Everything was very well organized and a friendly atmosphere. I got to talk to other Z owners and ask questions about what all theyve done and compare to my car. They had a TON of giveaways (items you would actually want, not coozies, pens, and lanyards lol) and I actually won some Z1 Silicone Radiator hoses(i'll be posting some pics when I get them in). Anyways i had a good time and i will be most definitely going back every year from now on!

I was there, too. It's a great lot of fun :D

I won a CSF Radiator!!!!!!! woot!

@shadoquad yeah it really was!

@mike niceeee! I really wanted those ark lowering springs they gave away but i cant complain ab winning some free hoses:tup:

The track day today was rather unique. it was either 4 or 5 crashes with two cars totalled. A 911 and a Z32, and lots of offs. In most cases, people just seemed to be way to overzealous. At one point it seemed like the tow truck couldn't unhook cars fast enough to pick up the next one.

We had an unscheduled drivers meeting midday and it seemed to get everyone calmed down a bit, and the second half of the day was uneventful, other than Tony (2theextreme)'s ride with me. When I left an hour later, he was still feeling a little green!

Tom (MACSIMIZER) was my student and for the first time on a track, he did really well. We had a blast out there.

A big, gigantic thanks to Z1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice to meet you sir.

Anyone please post pictures...including the crashes at the track.

Ahh you stole my hoses! I put 4 tickets in for those haha.

I wish I lived closer to GA :tup: sounds like it was a great time, except for the crashes...that's unfortunate.

anyone took pictures????

Here is my thread from the Sub par pictures I took on Saturday

Feel free to toss a rep point!

I put in for the hoses and the radiator!!! I really wanted that radiator LOL. Maybe nextyear. But I did win Peoples choice award.

Z nats was a great time as alway. Yeah Mike won my damn radiator:icon23:, but the great instruction he gave me out on the track made up for it, thanks again.

Man I wish I could have made it. Next year maybe. Was it fun to watch the race cars test? :P

Everyone,
Glad to hear everyone had a good time. Saturday was a blast for all of us as was Sunday. Overall the event was a great reward to many weeks of preparation and cleaning.

I greatly appreciate Mike who stepped and volunteered life and limb to be one of our instructors this year.

Guys if you do not mind though...for sake of preventing any further embarrassment or heartache to the owners of the four cars that were wrecked, please do not publically share the pictures. I think the owners have had enough heartache as is and do not need their unfortunate losses shared here. I will say that no 370Z's were damaged. However one of the four cars was a Z1 employee.

Everyone is OK, bruised and banged up...but two cars were completely written OFF.

I hope to see everyone again next year!

nice pics hbomb!

Thanks man! Even though I have a 370z, you can tell I have a thing for the older Z's. Some of them looked better and cleaner then the 350zs/370z's

i think i might schedule in this trip along with zdayz next year, prob around the same distance from me!!!! i need to talk lou into going

Want to personally thank Dustin and the entire Z1 family for hosting a great event ... Both at their home base and at Barber.
Also thanks to everyone tht stopped by the Doran 370Z RC and said hello.
The track day let us try our a couple new little bits that will def help the quest in 2013 ;)
Thanks again and looking forward to seeing everyone again!

PS....
I told you all it sounded gooooooooooood
;)

Damn was my driving that bad?:rofl2:

To all who made it out, was a great time.

Looking at this thread, it seems i def missed meeting some folks.

Btw, Shaw, good seein you again man. Car still looks great.

I have missed all the Z events this year except for ZdayZ due to my new job and completing my Master Degree.

But next year I'll make up starting with ZdayZ which the cabin is already reserved....

Not yours, but unfortunately, we weren't the only ones on the track :roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

I was there too,it was very organized. me and my wife had allot of fun the dinner this year was a hell of allot better too.

Here is the 2nd Porsche that wrecked. He was on the track at the same time as I. I came up on him in the middle of the track in pieces. Luckily he was not hurt.

I removed the photo as there was a request to do so from Z1 earlier in the post that I failed to see. It was not posted to be mean or otherwise, but just to show folks what can happen to you if you lose it.

Not nice to post other folks' carnage from HPDEs (unless you have permission if so ignore me! : ). Can be detrimental if they are trying to get insurance coverage or something.

I'm going to try and have my picture thread up on Wednesday. Got some videos of my track runs and a lot of pics from the car show! I'll link it in this thread when I post it.

It was fantastic seeing everyone again, and meeting some folks for the first time, like jpritche, Zoren, kellyefields, Chris, Lisa, and everyone else.

Big thanks to Z1 for all their effort. It was a tremendous amount of fun!!!

I agree.

haha sorry man...i put in 6 i think

i have some pics, mostly of 370's. took em on my iphone but i'll post them if anyone wants to see

Ouch!

Here's a thread with a bunch of pics... http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-p...nals-pics.html

Had a great time a Znationals and can't wait to go back next year. It was nice to meet some people and discuss cars and mods. I now know which exhaust I want for my 370z now. I did put in like 8 tickets for both exhausts but didn't win either of them. But I had a great time nonetheless and will be going back next year for sure.

Thanks again Z1 for the great event and also thanks to all the sponsors that helped.

Sent from my Galaxy S III

They had good exhausts in the raffle.

I heard the guy who won them both is a complete A hole.

:icon18::iagree:

Sadly,

I did not make it this year and again sadly... Mousa could not impersonate me at the awards banquet yet again... lol But I did have fun in the South Caribbean Island of Saint Lucia!

Glad everyone had a good time and hopefully I can be back next year with "White Dragon" or another project I have been contemplating.

Mike :tup:

Guys did Mousa get "Most Aggressive RS" this year????

He got "Most Carbon Fiber" but lost best in show due to his lack of Coca Cola logos.

Dam Coca Cola Logos! Its cause the other Z in Conyers bought the store out! :bowrofl:
