ZdayZ, Tail of the Dragon.

DatsunFTW · 05-19-2015, 07:47 PM

Zdayz is very difficult to describe it was so fun. Meeting some great forum members and chasing down that dragon from head to toe. Next year is already scheduled in my book. It was my first time and definitely not my last!

But for next year, many mods to come to make the dragon even more enjoyable. Need some sway bars and a bbk.

I beat it is in the nine minute range. It is a guarded secret, just as he is.

I'm processing my "about 10 minute" run video now...

I can "see" breaking into the 9's but I would need to keep my foot in it when approaching the blind corners that open up on the other side. Living in Florida and seeing the road once a year, I don't trust my memory enough to do that. I would only have to be wrong once.

Yeap, and he can do it in the dark I beat. Read the article, the clue is in it. That is freaking nuts. In my younger years when I was sharp, I mayyyy have come close. I am so rusty now it took 2 days to dust the cobwebs off.

If I see him again, I will know. They don't call me the elephant at work for nothing.

Cool. I respect that.

Let's just say I rattled the guys cage when I said a bike would be faster than a car....LOL One mention of Mr. Davis and information started flowing because he thought I was an idiot.

Maybe I shouldn't have posted that. Oops

I did find the pictures of the guy above and the mystery man.

Depends on how quick you are. I can take it up to 270 if I'm using 2nd and 3rd gear on a morning run (temps below 70).

If I am back next year with this car I will be adding a 25 row.

I already have the 25-row in the garage, didn't get it in before ZDayZ.
