Mike, was this available  in the earlier registration package or was it just added? I thought I had signed up for it so I am a bit mixed up...as usual

[Mike W]

As far as I know this has been a part of the registration from the beginning.  I just posted this now to ensure that people know that parade laps at COTA will be a part of the overall ZCON event and we believe that this is a pretty unique opportunity given the proximity of the track. 

Just a little PR to try and attract more people to ZCON this year!

COTA is the main reason I am going!! To take my Z on COTA is a thing I cannot pass up.  Just no way.  

Mike is ZCON going to have a professional photographer their to snap up some pics we can download later? If not maybe that would be a good idea.  I would certainly pay for a quality high def photo.

Man Almost a month, I am totally psyched!

[Mike W]

Zedy,

I agree with you.  I too cannot wait to get my car on the COTA track.  Once in a lifetime opportunity.

Yes we do plan to have a photographer at all of the major events.  I will have to check and see if he plans to take individual shots of the cars on COTA as well as the availability of those shots.

I will look into this and post an update shortly.

Mike.

You the man Mike. Can't wait to hang out with you an Alex again!  Save  beer or three for me.

[Mike W]

Same here Steve.  And Alex will definitely be here for at least a part of it.

By the way, I really do think at this point that you should go for the 45's.  You still have plenty if time before ZCON to get them, install them, and get them tuned!!

Mike.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where they didn't have his reservation for a nice car. Gave him a Pinto or something and asked if he wanted the insurance, "yes, I'm going to destroy that car"
