ZDAYZ 2016!!! May 19 - 22, 2016

MAZOC fans, as the snow melts, its time to once again start thinking and planning for ZDayZ 2016!! Each year ZDayZ grows larger as the Z Nation of enthusiasts throughout the country and beyond become aware of this awesome event which takes place in one of the most scenic areas of the Great Smoky Mountains. The highlight of ZDayZ is the opportunity to drive your Z on the most famous or infamous stretch of roadway in the nation..the Tail of the Dragon.

So, start getting excited about this coming May and plan to join the thousands of Z owners who have conquered the Dragon and enjoyed meeting and celebrating the Z for what it is...a drivers sports car. The MAZOC group typically caravans down a few days early. Several of us are actually departing on the Sunday prior to enjoy a few extra days of the Great Smoky Mountains and the Dragon a little early.

Registration is now OPEN!!.

ZDayZ 2016 Registration

Why ZDayZ?

First: The Tail of the Dragon. One of the most exciting and fun roads in the country to drive. Consisting of 318 S-turns in 11 miles, you will be subjected to various turns and elevations changes all combined at some extremely off kilter moments to test your driving skills. When you complete your first run on the Dragon you will know just what makes the Z worth every penny you spent to own it.

Second: ZDayZ, the event. Take hundreds of Nissan Z, G and GTR enthusiasts from all over the country and bring them together in the Great Smoky Mountains and you have the recipe for lots of fun! ZDayZ offers a variety of things to do both on and off the road. You'll likely make lasting friendships with fellow Z enthusiasts from all over.

There will likely be a separate thread for MAZOC fans to sign up for a caravan down in the coming weeks. In the mean time start making your plans (requesting vacation time, ABC Store runs etc.). Here are some links to all the pertinent information along with some videos to get you excited all over again:

FIRST TIME DRIVING THE DRAGON? ORIENTATION & SAFETY TIPS

This was posted in previous years and it seemed to help folks who had never been before to mentally prep for the Dragon. Also can serve as a refresher for those that have been on it but may need a reminder of how "interesting" the road can be. Again, the video was produced by the Minis on the Dragon group and I linked to their youtube video.

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

I trust you in it more than I trust myself. Count on a drive next time I see you. I'd love to have you drive me around the dragon in it too at ZDayZ.

I am honored that you trust me with your new ride. Look forward to taking it for a spin with you. Game for a ZDayZ run as well. Thanks for the offer.

Thanks for volunteering again! Looking forward to my seventh ZDayZ!

I've registered and look forward to joining the caravan to start off a great week. Glad to volunteer. It looks like joining the MAZOC crew for some of the registration slots is a good choice. Use me where you need me. T-shirt XL. Thanks, David.
