| This being my first trip to ZdayZ and to drive the Tail of the Dragon, this was more than just a Z gathering for me. This was a chance to get away which I desperately needed and I was basically just along for the trip. I didn't plan anything, I didn't lead anything...I just packed up and followed. Along the way and while I was there I just tried to relax as much as possible; drive the Dragon, drink some brew and enjoy the scenery. I got to do all that but learned some things while I was there so here is what I learned while at ZdayZ..... 1. SilverTwin(OH)'s wife knows how to pick the place to stay. Our cabin was AWESOME!!!. Just a peak of the view off just ONE of our decks....
 2. The Tennessee State Patrol can drive the Dragon like a mo' fo'. 3. Some Z owners can't....wet roads = slick roads = no bueno
 4. There are very strange people walking around this country. All I'm going to say is drilled turbos and Costco batteries...Tim and Brett know what I'm talking about. LOL! 5. The car show is highly recruited for. Both Tim and I got some, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT ENTERING THE CAR SHOW???" responses. The car show was not the reason why I was there, I just wanted to relax and hence why I didn't enter. Tim was originally going to enter but decided not to, I hope I didn't influence your decision on that Tim. I'm sorry if I did. 6. Minivans should be banned from the Dragon. 7. Russell Floyd is much younger than I had imagined him. It was very nice to meet you and the guys from Z1 by the way. 8. People in Tennessee really like "AS SEEN ON TV" stores 9. Something not learned but just reminded of, I have some of the best friends of my life. =) Thank you again Tim and Brett.... 10. I love my car, it performs so much better than I thought it ever could. It will NEVER again be for sale, for any price. Tim and I ran down a 350Z and was on his ass and I am sure he was asking himself what he could do to get away from us...nothing, just get out of the way. We also left a C6 Vette in the twisties that was trying to keep up with us. Everything worked perfectly, from suspension to brakes to powerband. What a rush! Well, I didn't really take many pictures at all. I only took some of Tim's and my car on Foothills Parkway where we found some nice views so sorry if there's not a whole lot to look at but here are a couple: 
If you ever get a chance to go down and drive the Tail of the Dragon, do yourself a favor and DO IT!! Randy
