Default SHARKS IN THE MOUNTAINS 2012 - 928 SPECIALISTS 15th Annual 928 Event - June 1st-3rd

Hi Everyone,

My apologies for the delayed announcement for SITM. A few months ago I found out we had to make a location change this year (long story). I wanted to be completely happy and confident of the new location and arrangements before posting details. Plus, coordinating with both City and County Governments to do what I wanted took longer than I would have liked…but I think it is going to be worth it.

As always, Jeannie and I look forward to seeing everyone that can make it to Shark in the Mountains this year!

Hi Greg,

Can't wait to see you and everyone else too!!

The Event field is in downtown BANNER ELK, NOT at Beech Mountain like the past 2 years.

The new location is just minutes from the Hotel and there is a LOT more to do in Banner Elk than there was at Beech Mountain.

See ya soon,

okay I am going to make it this year on my own power. Not being towed there and then back home. Just finishing up the front end (new motor mounts, shocks) and now working on new ac compressor, evaporator valve, condensor. Then off to get the alignment, and new front tires. See you soon Dave and Jeannie

I try not to deal with them either, they always seem to short the weight, the SO deals pretty square though.

Room confirmed (snagged it on the way out last year, and will do so again this year!). And only two small repairs to make before the voyage... e-brake engagement and if I'm feeling bold, power steering.

Does anyone have the sharktuner manual printed out they could bring with them? I'd like to peruse it but not on a computer screen.

Please ignore the prior "SPAM" post (which has now been deleted), this is NOT the Official SITM Hotel Location!!!

To the new user "AngelaAdams" we appreciate the special rate offer for everyone...but if you will contact me or Jeannie at 828 290-9280 we can discuss adding you to the recommended Hotel list for our Event...Thanks!

FWI, for everyone else there is still at least 11 Rooms available at the Best Western Mountain Lodge 828 898-4571

Funny, when I booked my room Monday night I was told that it was the last room. The reason I'm bringing this up is I was told that I would be booked into a less than desirable room (which was OK). If there are more rooms available I will call tonight to see if I can get my room changed to something less "pet friendly"

Totally normal for that to happen, it changes, especially as "non-SITM" people cancel rooms etc... we will be getting updated availability lists pretty often and will try to keep everyone updated.

Yeah, for sure call back and change the room while you can.

See ya soon,

Dave

I wonder why they gave you Greg's usual room.

Well if you'd like to bring your pet and are looking for a room with two beds my old room just opened up. Thanks DR, you made my wife very happy, and that's what counts
