Doh @ my buddy Becket! He is in our Z club and is actually a very experienced driver. He has been up and down that tail of the dragon for many many years .. its just one of those things where if your tire catches the edge of the road and tracks you outwardly .. dont try to over-correct it or what happens is you get sucked into a few trees. Luckily the trees prevented him from rolling down the mountain! FYI: I never broke 65 mph in any turn .. on the few straight aways I got up to 88.

He is taking it well. Thinks its totalled and will buy it back from the insurance company and throw the TT VQ35 into a 280Z chassis is what he told me!

AH THAT SUCKS! Atleast it was not something major. As fast as you were loosing air, it had to be a puncture or a bad valve stem.

Glad I got to meet everyone this weekend. I know I spoke with Tony, Lou, Mike and Jon quite a bit. I hope everyone made it back home safely and look forward to next time around.

BTW...are you guys planning a reunion tour to Nashville by chance?

Thanks Dustin....and congrats on a very well done engagement announcement!

I could tell she was genuinely surprised and happy. I'm considering going to the Z Nationals which I assume is in your backyard?

Glad you got to take home some hardware, Tony! The Z looks sweet! Can't wait to see what you bring next year... whatever it is, we HAVE to get it on the Dragon!!!

StLRedrider · 05-24-2010, 11:22 AM
