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...

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!

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!

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!
