         ZdayZ  2009


                   Expanded Format          Car Show Is Back


  This is the 6th year of holding ZDayZ at Deal's Gap/Tail of the Dragon, NC. We are excited to
  introduce some new events, the return of some old events, and the reinvention of some other
  activites.  It is awesome to see the interest level in ZdayZ grow. ZdayZ '09 is gearing up to be
  the biggest, baddest ZdayZ yet.  The event has expanded to four days instead of three, so that
  we could offer even more activities to you this year. For instance, 2008 we held 10 events, in
  2009 we are increasing it to 16, plus we expanded to start on Thursday since so many people
  were arriving early in years past.  We thought a Thursday night social would be a perfect way to
  "get this party started."

 
  The ZDayZ Car Show Event has been resurrected!
  Back by popular demand is the ZDayZ Car Show Event.  The format has changed slightly, this
  year the car show will be a judged event rather than people’s choice.  Why the change?  Some
  folks enjoy the car show and some prefer other activities.  The people’s choice format makes
  people feel obligated that they need to be onsite to vote in the car show.  Tallying the votes is
  also a huge undertaking; in 2007 it took four people three hours to tally the votes, that was a total
  of 12 man hours.  This year, there will be many concurrent events, including the car show and our
  first ever Time, Speed, Distance (TSD) rally.  It is our hope that people that want to display their
  cars in the car show, will jump in a friend’s car and help them navigate (they will need the help) the
  TSD.
