^^ I was behind you on the dragon one morning and you pulled over and let me and my dad pass (he was in the red 350). Then we got stuck behind a few slower cars that wouldn't pull over :\

Nice shots.. Your Z looks awesome in person!

Yeah that morning I was heading to an alignment shop to get mine fixed up, that's why I was going so slow.

I was hoping to run into you guys later to say what's up, but never saw you again.

I missed both of you. I was the black 2011 with red badges on the rear at the first cabin closest to the exhaust competition.

I missed the exhaust contest altogether.

Yeah, we were at the end of the dragon thinking you were going to pull in and then you kept going We figured you were headed somewhere else.

I imagine we'll be seeing you again next year

I should hopefully be going next year, gotta defend the title.


Monday morning when we did our First dragon run, on the way up to the 11mi marker, my car was fine. But when we came back, something was WAY off alignment wise. The 12 o clock on my steering wheel was pointing at 10 to go straight, and VDC kept locking up the fronts on me in the middle of the turns. Pulled off and let someone else give it a run so I knew it wasn't just me losing my mind. And it did the same thing to them.

So the morning you guys found me, I was heading to an alignment shop. The tech figures the 2 problems were A. when my coils were installed, the driver side rear spring wasn't fully seated in the cup. And it finally did while I was on the dragon. B. that the two bolts that attach the spring cup to the subframe were not fully tightened down from my last alignment, and were able to shift in turns. This resulted in one rear wheel being Toe'd in, the other being Toe'd out, so essentially my left rear tire was being dragged through the turns throwing off my speed/steering angle sensors and kicking in VDC. Lastly, one front wheel was Toe'd out as well. So my steering alignment sensor was 6* off.

Good news is it was less than 3 minutes from the time I arrived to the time the car was on the rack. The tech has worked on several performance cars before so he was competent, got it knocked out in 45 mins. On my way back, hit the dragon again and everything was right on the money.
