i'm definitely gonna be there. stock Z (mostly) for the win. i'm hoping to have it in a little better shape by then as far as interior goes though. can't wait. i couldn't make it last year cause my clutch gave out right before.

It's like 45 miles outside of atlanta in Carrollton Georgia. Not far at all. It took me about 3 hours to get there when I went last week to pick up my driveshaft. They are planning to caravan from Z1 friday morning to old talladega for the track racing. They are leaving about 7 in the morning friday from Z1 so I'm hoping to get a hotel thursday night instead of leaving super early friday morning. Hope to see everyone there!!!

Drifter, our cars are getting old... might as well do the trip now before our cars are relics. Dont forget, next year the 90 models will be classics.

Putting the miles on the Z eh?Tons, and loving it. No garage/car show queen here. Rain or shine.
Albeit, the majority is from long drives. Occasional driving to work in the summer. 45,000kms in 2 years. :)

Out of ready cash at the moment, but, fear not, I will be abusing the credit card to pay for flights!

Awesome! Ican't wait!!!! I am pretty sure my Z will still be in the shop but I convinced my wife to go this year. Lucky for me, we have a friend who lives an hour away from Z1. It's my wife's bestest friend so once I got the idea in her head she could visit her while I go to the show, it was like taking candy from a baby! **evil laugh**

That away SI! It is shame though your Z will not be joining you because I am thinking that Vielside exhaust will be just as nice in person.

I think I am going to join Barry's rolling Z barricade down to Georgia. Be joining ya'll in Maryland.

I'd love to ship it over for the show Coty, but Jesus, that would cost a pretty penny! You'll just have to visit the UK!

I'm wondering if I should help my fellow Zed'rs (Aussie speak) when I'm there. I just had a thought that maybe I could bring down my Eastwood Fender Roller tool with me and lend it out to a few in need while I'm there.
That would be something to see.
Z'rs rolling their rear fender lips in the parking lot at Z1.
I'm not sure if this would go down very well with Russell though.
Just my way of giving back something after all that I've recieved from the community.

What day will you be arriving John? Would quite like a ride in your RHD, will be like a home from home for me! hehe

Haven't firmed everything up yet. We (Vuk) is trying to sort out the details to include the fairly large GTR/Skyline and 350Z crowd that's local to our area. I'm thinking at least that Wednesday. An awesome site to be sure if we get some good numbers and have R32's, R33's, R35's, Z33's and Z34's to join in with the Z32 group for one large Caravan.

By all means. I would like to do better than that and let you take it out for a spin. I could use the constructive feedback from an accomplished RHD'r. :)

Why thank you very much John. I'll happily oblige! You've got some better suspension parts than I, so it'll probably feel nicer than mine.

Perfectly fine with me. Your going to need a jack though. I guess Vuk or Ray will have a nice lightweight floor jack in the trailer.

I'll try to remember to bring mine and a long extension cable. Space in the hatch will be a premium for me since this is going to be a two week roadtrip for us AMS guys due to taking in both Z Nationals and ZCon.
Maybe Russell can give a little piece of pavement at the back of the shop where most do their car washing. ( near the front clip racks)

just got done rebuilding the motor for this event!

I went last year and it was a blast... that drive from the hotel to Z1 riding with everyone on the interstate was epic...

if you have never been its something you NEED to experience, its quite amazing...

see you guys there in my daytona blue z32! :waveby:

Looks like my Z Nats trip MAY be cancelled. My wife's mother is going to be scheduled for heart surgery sometime in September. It'll be on a Friday is all I know so far. I hope it doesn't fall on the Nats weekend but if it does then I'll need to be here for my wife IF something goes wrong.
