Competition? If I could, I'd go to every 928 event each year and should come pretty close to it this year. 
This year's Frenzy is closer to Sharktoberfest than I would care to have it, but there were too many scheduling obstacles for the Chairman to overcome and still associate with a track evet. The Frenzy rarely has more than a handfull of West Coat 928ers, so I like to look at it as the more events out there, the better chance that everyone can experience the fun.

It's interesting that in a private email exchange, the question of "competition" among the various events was raised. We watch to see what others do successfully, of course. We try not to make the same mistakes this year that we did last year. We try to learn by education at least as much as by experience, and hope that others do the same. It raises the level of all events that way, and it's the participants that really benefit.
Please keep up the suggestions! We are all ears!

I was there when the SoCal928 Group was conceived. A moving experience...

Competition?
When it comes to 'rounds of competative drinking', as Jim Bailey puts it, there is no competition. We East coasters have a few secret weapons, namely Falkenberg, Eiffert and one Evan Henderson.
So, Dr. Bob, I'd like to order up some nice sunny SOCAL weather for the Sharktoberfest. Evan and I have plans to attend this year. Couldn't make it last year on account that it was my GF's B-day. This year I bought her a horse so she won't notice I'm AWOL.
Does Anderson plan on any type of driving event? I feel the need to abuse some poor rental car.

The eye is still black and blue.

I am kinda partial to those "Agent Orange" drinks that John K. makes, and they go down easy.

Our schedule shows a two-hour driving event on Saturday afternoon, followed by a hotel break and a dinner near the hotel. Dan and Keith have named the drive 'Shark Attack', so you may want to search out just the right rental car to fit in. Hint: walk past the mini-vans...
On Sunday morning we will caravan to the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, where we will have the run of the place including, I hear, a private tour of the 'vault', where a huge collection of not-on-display-yet goodies are stored. Plan your return flights for Monday morning so you don't miss this part of the event!
For others planning on attending--
There's info posted here on Rennlist for the event, currently topped by Randy (Thanks!) and easy to find. There's an outline schedule for both days.
-----
Don't be afraid to attend multiple Shark events! They only get better!

scotty,
tentative yes at present. registered and accepted. hotel reservation in. may need some help getting the car finished though. it will definitely be running unproven at the very least.
electromotive and harnesses need to be swapped out. blower being rebuilt and reconfigured and then needs to be reinstalled. blower to intercooler plumbing needs to be done. wing mounts need to be reengineered. nothing we can't knock out in a good weekend.
of course then the car needsa to be tuned....

Any decision on which hotel?
