Who is joining me in Birmingham?

I'm going to work until 12pm Saturday the 30th. I could ride down and do the award's dinner but not 100% on that. My most loved dog has to have a benign (hopefully) tumor cut off on the 25th. It's going to be $500-ish or less, he's a big dog so things cost more.

If I see you, lucky for me.

I've got a shed full of parts that someone may need. In that case I could make a run down but would need to come back home for work.

I would like to make a cameo but I doubt it. We'll see...

I think I could pass with a  stand-in copy? We could put a couple close together and do the "shake and bake"? 

 

I am unfortunately not going to make this one either. It's just not in the cards.   

Well, if anyone is joining me in Birmingham, bring plenty of water and light clothing. It looks like it will be as hot as the Memphis or Austin conventions.

Hey, @zKars, I think this means you have to show up for ZCON since your car was featured.

Oh wow, that's neat! Sorry, no can do.

That Z passed on a few years ago, don't even have one at the moment. Dang picture makes me a bit misty, sniff.....

You-all have fun this year! Drool over the new Z for me. I'll show up again next time the show is bit closer to home.

 

If, God willing, my car makes it out the shop in time, I'd at least like to show up the 29th and 30th. But, then again, this is a two month suspension thing turned nine month head rebuild slug, so who knows if I'll actually make it out of purgatory by then... 

The wife and I are going to drive up on Saturday morning for the car show, but not entering our car in it. We only live about 45 minutes away, but unfortunately work and family interfere with the other weekday events. For anyone who's been to a Zcon before, can you still buy t-shirts and such without registering for anything?

ZCON T-shirts are only available after they get shirts out to people who registered but couldn't attend. Other merchandise is available at the Z store at the hotel if the Z store is open. Go to zcon.org and find the schedule to see when the Z store is open.

Come on down to Alabam!

Weather is nice here compared to other's. It's only 99F here.

I'm having trouble between gas price and temperature signs. 

There was a last-second contest for ZCON to win a ride with Chris Forsberg at the Little Talladega track day today, and I was one of the winners. Chris and Alex Jagger were driving an Altima drift car and an Infiniti car with each taking 3 people at a time. 

The drift track was pretty abrasive, requiring them to change the rear tires after each lap. My turn was near the end, and they used up the last mounted tires just before my group. However, one of the crew members took some tires to the local Walmart to get them mounted. While we were waiting (and the window to run the drift cars was closing), we were offered a ride in Alex's car with the opportunity to ride with Chris if the tires came back in time. We couldn't turn down the 2-for-1 special.

All I can say is "WOW!" That was a blast. Here's the video. If you EVER have the chance to ride with a professional drifter, DO IT!
