Yeah, myself and a couple others went out Friday night and got lit...well me more so lol. I chose my forum name because I'm a firefighter (or well was a firefighter...retired MSgt/E-7 Air Force Fire Protection) and my name is Dan....Fireman / Fire..Dan? Creativity at its finest. But yeah I don't start fires Only BBQ fires.

I did notice that the "stock", "modified", and "ultra modified" had no clear parameters. I saw "stock" Zs with a body kit?

It was a blast having most of you join us on the track and to meet a lot of you that were spectating. We also thank you for joining us at our open house and car show.

I do understand that a lot of people have a lot of good ideas for the next event, feel free to share those ideas as well as volunteer to help with the next show. With that said I would like to personally thank all forum members that helped us through both days as well as helping us with prep work weeks before the event.

The Z Nationals has proved to be a great event for friends, family and sponsors alike. In other words this event only comes together due to people such as yourselves. Also please remember this show is by enthusiast, judges by enthusiast and enjoyed by enthusiast.

Here is the modified winner


PM me if you would like to be a judge next year

Not the best picture of my car but hey its there

nomodsjk

I definitely understand and appreciate the amount of work that went into this event. I'm sorry if I'm dry crying too much about the judges in my category and honestly if it weren't for some other factors that I won't mention I wouldn't be so irritated. I'll definitely be back next year. You guys did an amazing job overall especially in regards to the accident that occurred. You did a great job of making us feel like an extended family which made the event for me and if you'll have me I'd love to volunteer next year. I would have this year but had no clue that's how it worked

Zoren 370

I know bro the last statement below the picture is meant for your Z.

The beginning statement with an arrow pointed up ^ is in reference to the picture posted by another member with NOS.

Sorry for the confusion.

nomodsjk

Ah ok that makes sense

Mbreese

that all being said I would be more than happy to volunteer next year and help where I could be needed I'm local so just let me know !

My first time at the show and i had a great time would be there next year and I'm not trying to be disrespectful to the judges but it my opinion the judging was questionable anyways here are some of my pics enjoy.

Thanks John for posting the winner for the modified class.

The event was as always a huge success and everybody had a great time! Kudos to you all at Z1.

Let it be known I too was not satisfied the way the judging was made. Im not here to question the decision of the judges nor attack any personalities I believe the judges themselves are not fully guided with specific criteria that each category should have.

I certainly believe a Z that is supercharged or turbocharged should be automatically considered an ultra modified Z, as one has already modified the internals of the engine by doing such, plus the extensive man power and cost involved with this engine tuning and all. Thus I question the validity of a turbo charged Z under a modified category.
Even on a drag strip a normally aspirated with CAI is no match to a turbo charged Z. Case in point.

Same goes for a fully stock Z will have no match in comparison to a Z with an aftermarket wheels and modified front bumpers.

Its no apples vs apples. Simply stated.

My suggestions have a specific criteria of mods that would qualify under a particular category rather than by the number of mods.

I know judging is a difficult task but with this scenario a lot of guidelines or rules can be improved.

The Z1 family is growing thus more members are getting involved and damn getting serious about this show. Its time to make it more precise/ competitive to avoid such questionable results. In the end the integrity of the show would lose its value.
Otherwise all of us just display our Z at the event and have fun and enjoy the view as all are winners.


I love Znationals!
