Huh??

Not sure what you mean but Jake did most of his own work to his car, I just told him what to do and how to do it. That's the best way to learn.

Convention update... Important!

If you haven't registered yet, please do so soon! Registration enthusiasm has been amazing and some of the capped events are filling up fast (this includes the judged ZCCA car show!) Florida Z Association Home of the 2007 National Z Car convention (http://flza.com)

PLEASE READ BELOW!!! IMPORTANT!!!

If you register for the convention and your paypal payment is not received you will receive an email with payment instructions. We have your information and it is marked as "pending payment". We cannot hold spots in the capped events (like lapping, autox, judged car show etc) until your payment is received. They are filling up quickly so we recommend sending payment asap. Also, it makes bookkeeping and administration easier for us when we don't have to keep track of pending payments.

For instance the judged car show is around 50% full at this time! Yes you heard right! With registration only having been open for 9 days this should give you an idea of how quickly things are filling up!!

Breaking News...
Due to overwhelming demand for the Auto-X and to allow for more track time on Track Day, we have made some enhancements to our Motorsports schedule.
(More information is available at http://flza.com/AutoX.htm).

We will eliminate the Tuesday afternoon Auto-X (A) all together, but add a full day of Auto-X on Thursday. That will give us a full day of Auto-X on Wednesday inside the track at DIS, and a full day on Thursday at the SCCA site at the Deland Airport. It will work like this:

Wednesday - will be a full day of non-classed autoxing to be held on the Super Skid Pad, just off NASCAR turn #2. It is a smooth asphalt area over 1100 feet long by 190 feet wide. This is a 'run what you brung' day that will all about having fun and honing your skills. Individual timing will be offered and bragging rights will rule. If you are in the Wednesday Auto-x, you cannot also be entered in the Lapping event on the Skip Barber course. It is one or the other for Wednesday, but don't worry, here comes Thursday..

Thursday - is the Auto-x full day competition at Deland Airport which is about a 35 minute drive from DIS. This is a fully competitive autoX which is a first for a ZCCA convention! On this day you will be classed per the classifications listed on our website at Florida Z Association Home of the 20th Annual Z Car Convention (http://flza.com/AutoX.htm)

Please note the adjusted agenda reflecting this Motorsports schedule change. For all of you that signed up for Tuesday (Auto-X "A") you will be contacted via phone or email to see how to adjust to the new schedule. Remember if you are in the Lapping Event on Wednesday, you cannot be in the Wednesday Auto-X, but if you are not in the Lapping Event, you can Auto-X both Wednesday and Thursday!

The Ultimate Z Challenge will consist of 3 events.
Does your car have what it takes to be the Ultimate Z? …Good looks AND competent in a straight line as well as in the turns? We’ll see during the FZA Challenge!

1. On Tuesday your car will be part of the car show and judged based on different rules that are geared toward, cleanliness, innovation, over-all execution, engineering innovation etc. This criteria is completely different than the ZCCA judged car show and will have a different group of judges responsible for the judging
2. On Wednesday night cars participating in the Challenge will be drag racing at Orlando Speed World. All cars should arrive at the track by 5pm. Spectators should arrive by 5:45pm
3. On Thursday the final leg of the competition will take place at Deland Airport which is the AutoX. All Challenge cars will be in the same class. This class is considered “open” since all cars in the challenge are competing against each other.

Nissan North America, in support of the 20th Anniversary ZCCA International Z car Convention, has donated a 2007 Nissan NISMO Z to be auctioned off to benefit Special Olympics Florida. The car is serial number 0001 of this limited production vehicle and the passenger-side sun visor is signed by “Mr. K” – Yutaka Katayama – the "father" of the Z car.

This auction is exclusive to those attending the 20th Anniversary ZCCA International Z car Convention in Daytona Beach, October 1-5. For more information on the convention or to register, visit Florida Z Association Home of the 2007 National Z Car convention (http://www.flza.com).

Convention attendees can register and submit their silent bids at the convention registration center beginning Monday, October 1. Silent bids will be accepted throughout the convention, so check back often! The week-long silent bidding will transform into a live auction during the convention’s closing banquet on Friday, October 5 at the Daytona Beach Hilton, where the winner will be determined.

This auction is made possible by through the generosity of the Florida Z Association who are continued supporters of Special Olympics Florida!
