I'm planning on being there. Prolly gonna do the Dragon on Thurday evening and then take the Cherohala Skyway and other select roads on the way in on Friday. Should be pulling in around 4PM like last year.

I went without the A/C last year - didn't miss it a bit!
This years car might not have it either - believe it or not I found a car to drive that is in worse condition than last years model...

Hey DR I registered but never got a confirmation back on email. Should I register again?

DR · 05-07-2009, 08:40 PM

Hi Dave,

The automated registration doesn't send a confirmation e-mail. Jeannie will follow-up with every one a few weeks prior to confirm Dinner arrangements etc. We have never had any issues where a registration did not go through so you should be good to go.

See ya soon!

928ntslow · 05-07-2009, 10:23 PM

Dang..so close, but no time...will be in Nashville that weekend.

fraggle · 05-07-2009, 10:37 PM

No AC? Pansy. I had to run the HEAT so my car wouldn't overheat, and I still had to top off coolant every 100 miles.

I'll be there with my fully rebuilt uber semi-Stock F4!

auzivision · 05-08-2009, 10:13 AM

Just finished installing an Alpine headunit so the tunes will be jamming plus I'm leaving the rev limiter behind this year. Looking forward to seeing everyone and all the cars... should be a great time!

Drive to SITM with some others from your area. If you have a breakdown you will be with people who know the car.

Hi Jim,

As one of the "founding fathers" of the 928 Owners Club I have always supported all 928 OC Events. IF you recall there has always been a 928OC banner proudly displayed at Sharks in the Mountains. The 928 OC has also supported our Sharks In the Mountains Event and supplied cool T-shirts every year for as long as I can remember.

So in a a nutshell, HECK YES, I expect and encourage the 928 OCIC and any official 928 Owners Club event to be promoted at Sharks In the Mountains!

See ya soon!

If anyone from Canada is planning to attend, please drop me a private message.

Thanks!
