SE5spd · 08-17-2011, 04:51 PM

Sorry didn't clarify, RS3s are my street tires. I'll be wanting to bring my race tires too.

Articdragon192 · 08-17-2011, 08:55 PM

Ah ok, now I understand. Hmmm, yeah, that's a dilemma.

plus ill probably have a passanger, eh, I might just not bring them and track on the RS3s.

Articdragon192 · 08-18-2011, 08:02 PM

Yes, street tire battle!

Hi,

Just a friendly reminder that we are meeting this Saturday, August 20th starting at 9:30 AM at Pinnacle Nissan to continuing our planning for ZCON2012. The purpose of the meeting:

· Provide a debrief of ZCON 2011, which was held in Savannah, GA
· Discuss our overall plans and scope for ZCON 2012
· Seek volunteers for various areas, including but not limited to sponsorship, marketing, track, hotel events, driving events and car show support

We learned a great deal at ZCON2011 and we believe we are well positioned to host a great event.

Looking forward to seeing you on the 20th.

NOTE: We have established a email address just for our convention. It is ZCON2012@yahoo.com. Feel free to contact us at this address.

Jack

It's in Phoenix. You don't want to have it any earlier than that. It'd be a little warm for most people.

But it's a "dry heat"

Humidity is pretty absent here. Defiantly don't want it any earlier.

riotmakertech · 09-17-2011, 03:02 AM

That sounds badass! Just curious, I will have my Z by then but I have a buddy who wants to race around in his '73 Nova which I have to admit is a beast. Are other vehicles aside from nissans allowed to race on the track?

mrsanchez925 · 09-17-2011, 02:01 PM

I guess I gotta beast mode it in az with no ac.

induetime · 09-18-2011, 04:33 PM

Its about a year away from ZCON 2012. Sunny with 96 degrees for a high, 74 degrees for a low, 0 chance of rain, winds WS @ 7mph. Should be perfect for next year.

Piranha · 09-19-2011, 01:01 AM

Yep one year away exactly... perfect weather this week

ChipToofPanda · 12-03-2011, 01:07 AM

WOW! It's still only Dec '11?!!

FAST FORWARD PLEASE!!!!!

This is the issue they ran into with ZCON 2010 in Nashville. I got a kick out of the coverage by My Classic Car where almost every person they interviewed did thirty seconds on the heat before talking about their Z. I was thinking, "how would you like to deal with that for five months...every year of your life", lol.

Either way, this gives me an excuse to goto Pheonix...never been there other than connecting in the airport.

Piranha · 12-21-2011, 12:58 AM

As of now it looks like registration will be up January 1st.

Events planned that I know of so far... car show at Mesa Riverside, Firebird West and possibly Main road coarse, autocross at the Nissan test facility, opening and closing ceremonies in the Wild Horse Pass theater, rooms for $119 a night which includes around $30 a day in money kick backs for food and gambling... so around $89 a night... and the kickbacks can be accrued for use whenever you want, cruise to Payson/Sedona/Jerome, Friday Night Drag racing at Firebird, Pavilions car show... and so much more...

and don't let the heat scare you... it's a dry heat

Z32TT-R · 01-06-2012, 12:26 AM

Man I want to attend this, I'll have too see. When is the majority So Cal guys going, during the car show and auto x portion? where's a link for registration? can't seem to find it.

ChipToofPanda · 01-06-2012, 06:41 AM

Idk if registration is open yet, pretty sure they're still writing things in stone. But you gotta stay the entire duration of the convention!! Id be so down to give my time and effore into orchestrating a massive West Coast caravan, multiple rendezvous points, rest stops... the works!

jschrauwen · 01-06-2012, 10:25 AM

Hmmm, a 3 Day Caravan from Toronto to ZCon? Now that's a drive. Will need an oil change when I get there, lol.
The ZCon link in first post is broken for me.

TheDeadKing · 01-06-2012, 11:02 AM

I'm going to call it now... the majority of the California people claiming that they are going to ZCon 2012 will not actually be going. For whatever reason, California Z members (both here and from other forums) don't even show up to events in their own state.

I'm a witness to that!

Z32TT-R · 01-08-2012, 07:59 AM

You gotta stay the whole week? Not everyone can do that. I guess forget about registering then.

Articdragon192 · 01-08-2012, 01:27 PM

I'm planning on taking a week off work to attend this
