Here are my pics...I don't feel like redoing the post using Facebook images, so I apologize for the larger Photobucket images :) I'm just copying the post from Tech.

Pics aren't anything special, just some group shots from the car show on Saturday. Thanks to the guys at Z1 for hosting an awesome event. I won 2nd place in 350Z Modified and also won a set of AMS Lightweight Pulleys and some Z1 Silicone Hoses. I'm a little excited :)

Here are the pics (there are a lot)...

Sunrise (we left Birmingham about 5:30 to head to Carrollton, GA):


Waiting to get in:














































The gap is there because they had already released the hood when I took the pic:

470 is underrated more like 507hp and 502tq by 3800

David, I dunno if you saw me swerving all over the road as the sun was rising on the way, but I was snapping some pretty awesome pics of your Z in the sunrise. Sorry, too tired to get them processed tonight, but I'll get 'em up soon.

I hope you pps took some good pics too, cause I spent most of the time working :/ No worries, though, I had lots of fun and accomplished all I'd hoped to.

Got to Z-Nationals very late Saturday in Carrolton, GA, just as the bottom fell out of the sky. Couldn't take much pictures because it was flooding outside. Took some pics of the cars inside the shop and just out the doors. I couldn't manage to take alot of pics of the GT-R because it kept coming and going. Ryne and I guess the dealership guy was taking a lucky few people for rainy AWD launches and joy rides around the block. They left like 5 times with 3 passengers each time.

Enjoy.


2009 GT-R leaving the first time as I was pulling up at Z1 Motorsports.





Leaving heading back to the dealership in Atlanta.

Sick S15 Silvia Type-R Aero from Orlando. Rolling on some badass Works.





Kinda rare SMZ 300ZX Twin Turbo (Steve Millen Z). Came with 400hp, full aero, wheels, brakes, and suspension. Around 400 made in the early 90's. These cars cost $14k over sticker price back then. This beauty only has 24k miles.





Sick ass 350Z with some mean Work VS wheels and unkown front bumper with airbrushed graphics in the headlights.







S13 Silvia converted 240SX with the non-projector lights.


True JDM 1998 300ZX 2+2 Twin Turbo. Guy drove all the way from Canada. Couldn't take much pics as I took this while running back inside when the bottom fell out again.


This is one of the guys who works at Z1 Z32 convertible. This engine makes around 1000hp with lots of boost and N2O. This is the same car on Z1 Motorsports website.


There were lots more cars there. Only 2 Z31's, both were '84 50th Anniversary Editions. A few S30's and 2 S130's were in attendance too.

Ryne won a prize while there. He won a VP Fuels racing gas can and hat.

Sweet, can't wait to see them. I got one of the sunrise during the time that cop was behind us. The rest of my pics aren't anything special, just some big group type shots throughout the day. I'll get them up later today.

well i must say that i expected the GTR to be rolled off a trailor and then when it was time to go driven back onto the trailor. cool to see that it was driven and in the rain at that? is that the first time that your blue car has seen the rain?

That blue 240SX with the 180SX Type-X body was at the Florida Z-Fest in Orlando in 2006. I took a few pics of it while at that show.





You Auburn guys are a bunch of pansies for not showing.:thumbsdown: I got my lazy butt up and left Auburn at lunch and still made it to the show.

I bolded the problem :) I keed, I keed. Eric had a bad headache I believe, for everyone else...the weather is no excuse :shame: It was great up until about 2:00, but even then we just moved everything inside.

Pansies. Agreed. We need to have a meet soon to make up for it, weather ignored.

Weren't we just talking about this? You changed your pads back after Friday, right?

Christina, we still need to work on your pics skeelz. A bunch of them just cut parts of the car out of the pic. Still, pretty nice.

i think we may call this event "the alabama bumper swap" christinas first two pics are of a white z32 with my old bumper i gave hm and johnny decided to swap his during the show and got drenched.
but for my first event, the only way it could have been better is if i had my car done. but much fun anyways

I had a great time too. I managed to take the win in the Modified G35 category by default, I still feel like an ass about the whole situation.

I did win a Tial BOV by getting the correct answer to the DJ just before Ryne. :)

Here are my pictures.

Did anyone get a pic of that ratrod TT 300zx that was parked next to me? It was the one that looked like it hit a clown on acid. I wanted to snag a pic, but right when I was about to start taking pics, a swimming pool fell on me.

It was great seeing everyone again and meeting up with some new people too. Definitely glad I beat the rain there and got to check out all the awesome cars. I was surprised to see all of them cleaned up after the track day. They made that show a lot of fun even with the rain.

Thanks for posting pics guys. I need a new camera
