update:

Sorry guys, won't be able to go. Last minute thing came up this early morning.

Matt

Big shout out to all those that were at Z1 today! My girl and I had a fantastic time with everyone. The Z1 guys were fun and professional, and were great cooks to boot! Thanks everyone for making it such a great time. I even got some red silicon radiator hoses installed that were super inexpensive and look awesome.

Special thanks to James(Z1804) and Z1 for making it happen. I'll have a TON of pics uploaded tomorrow.

P.S. @Z1: Did I hit that "1/4 mile" right? :P

as much as i appreciate Z1... i wouldn't do a monthly thing there simply because of driving distance. i think a central location would work better for a monthly thing for the majority of people, kinda like how the Varsity meet is every first thursday and the Cars&Coffee meet is every first sunday. at most i would do a Z1 meet every 3-4 months. how about a friday or saturday meet in the late afternoon/early evening for a monthly meet?

Me and Jeff live the farthest from Z1 and the other locations that we've met. My location is at least an hour drive regardless of where we meet so location doesn't really make a difference to me. Gathering at Z1 gives the guys an opportunity to purchase and have parts installed, get an oil change done if necessary, ask the techs different questions about their cars and those back roads are kinda fun too

Z1 is open from 9:00am-6:00pm on Saturdays, so it gives the guys a wider time window where they can show up to the gathering if they have other errands to run on that weekend. I'll find out what the works for most of the guys and post it.

Matt, you took some great pictures dude. Thanks for coming out all the way from Augusta. We hope the drive was worth your time and that you and your lady enjoyed the gathering. Hopefully, we'll see you at the next one.

Jeremy I hope Z1 was able to help you figure out everything with your car before you left. Beautiful ride bro.........

While I won't have the availability to make it to Z1 once a month, those are great arguments to hold a "meet up" there.


I'll make another small thread for the Varsity meet up we had. It's only a couple pics, but I'll put them up anyway. I'll post the link here.

EDIT: Here you go: Varsity Z meet up prior to Z1 Dyno Day

I had a bad experience on the drive home, bro. I was on I-20, about 40 miles from home, and a piece of my undercarriage came off and flew out the back of my car! I was SOOO scared. It appears to just have been the "cosmetic" small cover that "fills in" the dead space on the real lower engine cover/protector. Because of other cars (none of them were hit, thankfully, I had to double back on the interstate and look for the piece, but I couldn't find it.

I'm gonna talk to Z1 and see what they think.

I want to say well met to all of the guys that I finally had the opportunity to put faces with the names. I would also like to say a VERY HEARTFELT THANK YOU to the guys at Z1 Motorsports for not only making me feel at home but for taking a lot of time out of their day to help me resolve a small issue. I cannot stress enough how appreciative I am for Spencer, Jon, John, Dustin, Russell, and the other guys at Z1.

As those of you were there during my dyno runs know, the HKS EVC6 had not been calibrated for GA yet and I was basically running spring pressure. After a quick call to Sam@GTM, we were pointed in the proper direction and the EVC was set to defaults and recalibrated. The result was exactly what we expected, 485whp and 420wtq. Sam has also informed me that he is sending a new map with a bit more aggressive tune. Next go around, 500whp will be broken at the same boost level.

I had a blast and again, a huge thank you to Z1 for hosting the event and taking such good care of me and my Zed. I truly look forward to seeing all of you again soon.

Viera

I had a great time, guys. Lovin the new butt!!!!! (Fog light)

John@Z1

Hey Matt, not sure what went on with that piece. But let me know tomorrow and we will take care of it. And yes sir you did the Z1 stretch like a champ. You all missed Jeremy's car lay it down. Also I would like to personally thank everyone for coming out. Hope to see you guys again soon.

Most of us missed the Chicane Yellow Z that showed up as I was leaving, too. Who was that?

To talk about the monthly meet, should we create a seperate thread or just direct everyone to the thread in the southeast group?

as for my thoughts, yeah z1 would be a great place to host them every time. But it is a haul for everyone. If we do a monthly meet in the same location each month my vote is z1. if its not at z1 i suggest we do not make it a meet at the same location each place. No other spot can offer us what z1 does. So if its going to be a varying location, then the activities will need to vary also.

Example:

Drive to Unicoi state park and have a bbq up there.
Andretti's
Heck someones house for a mod meet / whatnot.

But like meeting at the varsity each month, offers us a crowded parking lot, no room to work on anything and bad food.
