I really wish it was closer to me.

If my Z had better paint, diff front fascia and some nice wheels i would go lol

Doesn't matter what she looks like, you don't need to enter the show it's a great opportunity to hang out with other Z enthusiasts!

Man, that's awesome...too bad you guys are on the wrong side of the country or I'd be there!

You guys never heard of a road trip? There are guys driving from TX, and probably Cali as well

Depending on my work schedule... I might be there. Anyone know if z1 goes to this? If they do I might just join in their convoy

That would be one hell of a Road Trip from Seattle to Massachusetts/East Coast!
Anyone want to chime in that they are making that trip from the West Coast?

Z1 is attending and sponsoring.

Decaf, there are other non Z32 guys coming from Cali. The longest distance award went to a guy from San Jose in 2003, and he's coming again. IIRC, he has a 260Z he drives all the way out.

Damn. I really do hope I make it this time

Wow, now that's dedication!
And I thought my road trip back from SF with my TT was a bit off the wall...

After driving from san diego, ca to savannah, ga (literally coast to coast) twice... this road trip should be nothing. Lol

This is true, I would go if I didn't have these couple of issues I'm working on and if I had a dyno tune by SZ.

There is always next year though.

Yeah, I've actually thought about trying to make one of the big Z events some day- maybe next year is the magical year.

I saw the ZCON 2013 Car Show site yesterday, what a great location. The cars are going to look great! The Anheuser-Busch grounds are really nice, Clydesdales too, and you can take a factory tour (free samples) if you want more

They usually have the Northeast Exotics show there, it is an excellent location. And Loudon is a fantastic track to drive. Gonna be a great event!

I'm getting fired up now, getting close!! Kevin, you should definitely go, it's an amazing experience. Tons of raffles and other good stuff.
