Graham Hobbs' ZDayZ Biography

 

Graham doing Mach 1 in his newest G35

 

OK… I’m new to ZDayZ (sort of). ZDayZ ’08 was my first big experience with this Z Community thing. Turns out… it raises happy blisters on the rump of just too much damn fun!

 

Why am I here? I was dragged kicking and screaming from the track by Bryan and Morris, and soothed with tales of the road by Justin (LIAR….., read on). How did I become a “Staff Member?” I’m not sure (and I’m not sure which appendage that is), but it appears these people are under the impression I will ask virtually anyone about most anything.

 

Well, as I was never a social drinker – purely recreational – and I’ve found that ZDayZ has its own Demigod with a blender driven by a tuned weed eater motor. I just fell in. My only complaint so far is one local in a white pickup truck.

 

ZDayZ ’08 saw the demise of my 1st ’03 G35 (Laser Red 5AT). Early on Saturday morning on lower [NC] Hwy 129, in the prop wash of Bryan and Doug Stewart (the aforementioned Demigod), a local in a white pickup truck chose my portion of the road over his/hers. In turn I chose to climb the mountain and the red G35 was a total loss.

 

For ZDayZ ’09 I return with a Desert Platinum Metallic ’03 G35-6MT with all (and more) of the modifications from the previous car - largely for HPDE and Track Lapping Day use. A joy to drive on any decent road.

Besides volunteering to inspect Doug’s blender for safety compliance (requires a certain frequency of cycles), in a moment of weakness I embraced the privilege of weighing our ZDayZ Sponsor’s wallets for ZDayZ ‘09.  As the junior “Bag Man” for this operation I am allowed to participate in insuring that the Sponsor’s gracious support benefits them and the quality of the ZDayZ ’09 event. Without their support, we’re all doing something else!

 

For Enthusiasts – By Enthusiasts.     Could it be any better?
