ZDayZ XI 2014 (May 15-18)

ZCarMan · 12-02-2013, 08:54 PM

Alright MAZOC fans, I know, its still months away but this is a good time for those who are not aware of ZDayZ or have not made plans yet to attend to begin to do so. Each year ZDayZ gets bigger and bigger and this means you need to plan sooner rather than later, or risk not getting a room/cabin at the village resort. 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 begins 1 January, 2014.

Reasons to attend 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, it will subject you 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 over 940 Nissan Z, G and GTR enthusiasts from all over the country and bring them together in the mountains of North Carolina and you have the combination for one heck of a time! Whether participating in the many events that are put together, driving the many excellent roads, or just chillin' and grillin', you can't help but have a fun and relaxing time.

With that in mind start planning now! There will likely be a separate thread for MAZOC fans to sign up for a caravan down in the coming months. In the mean time start making your plans (requesting vacation time, reserving your room or cabin, etc.). Here are some links to all the pertinent information along with some videos to get you excited all over again:

I posted this last year and it seemed to help folks who had never been before to mentally prep for the Dragon. Again, the video was produced by the Minis on the Dragon group and I linked to their youtube video.

Already have the room booked! Can hardly wait, although I will need tires and brake pads before this years event.

We'll miss 'ya! I guess we won't have to hear that dreaded sound of you scraping the front lip on the 'vette on those low driveway lips again. Every time I hear that, I cringe, no matter the car!

You can get on the wait list there at Fontana as folks cancel due to various reasons. There are other lodging options nearby as well.

Thanks for the tip! I called and they said the list was fairly long but to not be surprised. We'll see!

If anyone needs to relinquish their cabin, lmk

I need one ASAP

MyKindaGuise · 12-30-2013, 12:37 PM

Actually probably going to make it this year!

Not sure if my ears can take the 9 hour drive though. Im sure this will be frowned upon but is anyone trailering down and have a trailer for 2???
