Z Nationals

Burriss03 · 10-07-2012, 10:46 PM

I went to the 2012 Z Nationals in Carrollton, Ga. Z1 Motorsports is where it was held. This was my first time going and honestly it was an awesome time! If you havent been yet I would highly recommend going atleast once. Everything was very well organized and a friendly atmosphere. I got to talk to other Z owners and ask questions about what all theyve done and compare to my car. They had a TON of giveaways (items you would actually want, not coozies, pens, and lanyards lol) and I actually won some Z1 Silicone Radiator hoses(i'll be posting some pics when I get them in). Anyways i had a good time and i will be most definitely going back every year from now on!

I was there, too. It's a great lot of fun

Mike · 10-07-2012, 10:53 PM

I won a CSF Radiator!!!!!!! woot!

Burriss03 · 10-07-2012, 11:03 PM

@shadoquad yeah it really was!

@mike niceeee! I really wanted those ark lowering springs they gave away but i cant complain ab winning some free hoses

The track day today was rather unique. it was either 4 or 5 crashes with two cars totalled. A 911 and a Z32, and lots of offs. In most cases, people just seemed to be way to overzealous. At one point it seemed like the tow truck couldn't unhook cars fast enough to pick up the next one.

We had an unscheduled drivers meeting midday and it seemed to get everyone calmed down a bit, and the second half of the day was uneventful, other than Tony (2theextreme)'s ride with me. When I left an hour later, he was still feeling a little green!

Tom (MACSIMIZER) was my student and for the first time on a track, he did really well. We had a blast out there.

A big, gigantic thanks to Z1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I put in for the hoses and the radiator!!! I really wanted that radiator LOL. Maybe nextyear. But I did win Peoples choice award.

MACSIMIZER · 10-08-2012, 10:34 AM

Z nats was a great time as alway. Yeah Mike won my damn radiator

, but the great instruction he gave me out on the track made up for it, thanks again.

sig11 · 10-08-2012, 11:28 AM

Man I wish I could have made it. Next year maybe. Was it fun to watch the race cars test? :P

Dustin@Z1 · 10-08-2012, 12:16 PM

Everyone,
Glad to hear everyone had a good time. Saturday was a blast for all of us as was Sunday. Overall the event was a great reward to many weeks of preparation and cleaning.

I greatly appreciate Mike who stepped and volunteered life and limb to be one of our instructors this year.

Guys if you do not mind though...for sake of preventing any further embarrassment or heartache to the owners of the four cars that were wrecked, please do not publically share the pictures. I think the owners have had enough heartache as is and do not need their unfortunate losses shared here. I will say that no 370Z's were damaged. However one of the four cars was a Z1 employee.

Everyone is OK, bruised and banged up...but two cars were completely written OFF.

I hope to see everyone again next year!
