Why aren't YOU going to ZCON 2008?

[Jeff G 78]

I don't see why you can't drive whatever you have to the car show and look around, visit, and have a bite. I'm not sure about what to say about the t-shirts and souvenirs, but you can go to the convention website and there's an email link for information. just click on the link in my signature.

I sent an email and will post the answers when they reply. Like I said, I don't mind supporting the cause, but $85 is a lot to spend for attending only the show.

wow prices went up from last year

[Jeff G 78]

I got a confirmation that we do not have to register if we are attending ONLY the car show. Of course you should buy lots of souveniers to help them pay for the event.

There are some really cool souvenirs & clothes you will be able to get.

Last year the car show was at Daytona Speedway and not open to the public. You had to register for the whole convention to get in to the speedway for the car show. Evidently, this year the car show is open to the public. Some info I got in the morning e-mail:

If you are planning on going to any of the speed events, make sure you go over the tech checklist with a mechanic, so you don't get any surprises ...

OK, I am in!

I signed up for the convention today! I have a prior engagement the same week, so I won't be there for everything, and will probably be there in a rental car instead of a Z, but unless something serious happens I will be there.

Who else is signed up?

I(hopefully We-depending on my wifes schedule clearing up)will be headed up Saturday and stay through Wednesday or Thursday. I just signed me up, but hope to add the rest of the family before too long!

As others have said, last year in Daytona if you wanted to enter the speedway and attend the show you had to be registered which was costly I guess a DIS rule about getting in the track. In order for my son to attend just the car show I had to pay the entire 5 day registration alot of $ for the the average spectator. I'm sure there would have been alot more spectators if it had been prorated but it was well worth it to be able to drive my Z on banks of Daytona.

Don't feel too bad, I registered a car, and wasn't able to bring it-but then that is why I was behind my camera on top of the press box instead of having it beside me on the seat driving with you on the track!
