Why is the event 4 days long?

Simply put, three days was not enough. For many people this is the biggest event all year, so we made it bigger :) Anything less than four days would not allow attendees to get the most out of ZDayZ activities and driving the local roads . Four days allows visitors to enjoy more roads and, as a positive byproduct, gives us time to organize more activities for those who want to participate in a little more than just driving!

Is there a charge to attend?

Yes. Information about registration can be found on our Registration page. General registration includes access to all activities for the day(s) registered for. There are some activities with additional surcharges, i.e. the car show, Beer Pong, disc golf tournment, and the 5/10K, etc. Event shirts and other apparel are also ala carte, as well as the car show, beer pong, disc golf tournment, and the 5/10K, etc.

Why does the Car Show event cost $40 to enter?

It takes all types to build a show like ZDayZ.  A large portion of our attendees enjoy the car show (each year roughly 1/4 of the cars onsite wind up in the show). Others either do not want to enter their cars or would prefer to spend that time driving the Dragon, which is fine also. So, for this activity, we prefer to have only the show participants fund the show. The entry fee helps cover car show specific items...trophies, refreshments for the car show, extra give-aways provided by ZDayZ, etc. Besides, $30 Car show, that's a bargain! Look in our a Gallery at some of the trophies we give away. And the bragging rights of winning a trophy against such specific competition is priceless.
