Why is the entry fee a million dollars?

Zmax is owned by same folks who own Bristol. The lot doesn't come free. Gotta pay to play on that pavement.

Maybe I've been spoiled by all the national sites that I've ran, but I don't get the love affair with that place at all.

The drive is awful. The grip is meh. And you might get killed by a stray golf ball.

Zmax cost 3500.00 a day and in my car for a asphalt lot, the grip is awwwwwwsom. The drive does have some hard pulls for a 2 car trailer, but shouldn't be that bad on a car driving over.

I'm a pretty big fan of ZMax. I think the extra cost and travel is worth it. My car typically has more grip there than any other venue I've been to.

I'll be there in July(same weekend as Chillowee, sorry). The Z will have the new OSG in, new Konis, and finally on RE71Rs. James is running with me too, looking forward to it!

It is mostly awful because I would have to leave at 3 or 4 in the morning. I'm willing to do that for a Sunday event in Atlanta because I can run both sessions.

I would just wait until the local, but I just want to see if my car is autocrossable.

Totally understand that Steve, as I will have to break in the new rear diff with some highway miles before autoxing it also when it gets done this weekend.

If only it weren't a 4 1/2 hour drive for me :/ Might have to make a weekend out of it sometime.

Hello,


Looking for an auto-x "fix" this weekend?

If so, consider the Highlands Sports Car Club's (HSCC) event on Saturday, the 18th in Franklin, NC. Typically 10-12 runs on a smooth four acre blacktop surface. No trophies, only season championship points. Visitors welcome! Details available at HSCCCLUB.com or motorsportsreg.com.
