westpak Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share #49 Posted September 29, 2007 That is the best way, and if coming in on Monday there will already be people at the track so leaving it there and then going to register is the best way to go.Is anyone else getting excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hls30.com Posted September 29, 2007 Share #50 Posted September 29, 2007 Carl,I had asked someone who was introduced to me as a large part of the ZCCA show essentially same question at the Autoway show, and was told we (Those coming in Sunday before the show-and staying through the following saturday-after the Raceway was no longer hosting us)would be parking the trailers in the hotel lot on the timeframe outside of the speedway use window. Looks like that was misinformation-not that it is an issue for me anymore...Will Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22906-2007-z-national-convention-zcon-info/?page=5#findComment-223104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcapp Posted September 29, 2007 Share #51 Posted September 29, 2007 I've pondered bringing my Z for many months but I think it is not show worthy, but I'll be there and taking a full load of photos.

kinfish Posted September 29, 2007 Share #53 Posted September 29, 2007 Carl Beck and others ------ Parking concern at the Hilton:I stayed at the Hilton in early May and highlited the parking concern on the Fl Z association forum on May 26. Somebody was supposed to negotiate parking options with the hotel but the thread has no feedback if anything was done or resolved.The parking lot south west of the hotel is really not that large considering there are 744 rooms in the Hilton. This is a pay lot and those with long trailers may have to jump the curbs to get thru the entrance which is narrow and an attendant shack sits between the entrance and exit lanes. The Hilton does have valet parking on the north west entrance of the hotel but I don't think many of us would let that high school kid have the keys to your car ......... and don't think the trailers will fit. Best option may be to keep the trailers away from the beach and leave them at the racetrack. Not sure what you do for the days outside the racetrack window?? Parking trailers on the beach would have been a great option but the weather man says the depressions in the Atlantic will be sending in huge waves to Daytona and other shorelines and the hard sand beach may disappear at high tide.

bpilati Posted October 11, 2007 Share #54 Posted October 11, 2007 I couldn't get my car painted and ready in time for the convention. I was too ashamed to bring it in its current state, so I cancelled my reservations. My dream was to drive it on the Daytona track. What a huge letdown!

hls30.com Posted October 11, 2007 Share #55 Posted October 11, 2007 You should have come down anyway-these Florida guys know how to throw a party! My car wasn't ready either-thanks to a storm-but the party went on and had its own storm! The only condition to be ashamed of with a z is the condition of no progress taking care of its issues. If you are making progress in getting it sorted out, you are doing fine. because of the frustration of being absolutley focussed on a project and seeing the end only hours away-and then getting the wind knocked into me, I haven't touched mine since the storm blew away some sheetmetal, but I am going to jump back in prep the new panels, re prep the car and finish her up by thanksgiving. I'll be enjoying the car before the new year and have almost a year to finish up and install modification before Cleveland! Nothing like a driving high and progress to gain momentum! Will PS, Bill, I had hoped to break in my new tires on the speedway too-I put them on in the trailer! It was too cool to watch everyone else screaming around the track, so I took a picture of the finish line with no one crossing it and set up a date with Photoshop! I'll pass the original image along if it will ease your pain!

bpilati Posted October 11, 2007 Share #56 Posted October 11, 2007 I don't want to talk about it! The world wasn't perfect for me, so I decided to give it the finger. Besides, I couldn't show up in that thing looking like that and meet yall for the first time. It's just wrong.
