Post Lodging for SITM (getting tight)

Banner Elk Holiday Inn, fully booked

Smoketree Lodge, fully booked

Rick @ Beech Mountain has 2 different hotels, the main one has 15 rooms left as of today, and will open the other one if needed. Shark rate is $69.00. 828-387-2252

By a lodging standpoint, it looks like we might pass the number of 928's from last year, about 70.
BTW I had a word with the big guy and he says weather will be wonderful. (Hope he didn't mean for polar bears and fish).

Yes! It seems this year it snuck up on us and caught many of us forgetting to make reservations.

I hope that everyone attending does realize that Jeannie has to order the food well in advance. If you don't register, she doesn't know how much food to order...

:-)You still planning on being there?? If so, you gotta get a faster rental car. Don't they have any Mustangs or something. :-)

Hopefully I will have a 928 by then and they will have a room left. Sounds like lots of fun including the drive down and back!

Eric and Chris

Thanks for the "heads up" I called this morning 4/19 and was able to make a reservation at the Holiday Inn, as they did open up more rooms.

Eric, glad to see you are going, maybe we can hook up here in MD and caravan down. My wife will be going also, we are combining this trip with a weeks vacation.

(could'nt resist)

George - Is Sandy a good sport? The only time that caravan will be doing less than the speed limit will be when they park for lunch.

(Damn I hope i get a last minute reprieve and can make it. I do have a reservation in JIC)

I think I'll be in that caravan too, and would like to stop by Autothority in Va (the day before) to get my car on the dyno as I missed my chance (and discount opportunity) during the last Frenzy due to a last minute discovery of poorly/wrongly installed timing belt. Anyone interested in coming along?

George and Greg, no problem. Glad I could help.

John, you are bad!!!!!! LOL. Hey, a Mustang has got to be better than that Geo Metro or whatever it was Tony was driving last time.

Everyone else, if you haven't decided to go to SITM or not, just do it!!!!!!!!! It's an absolute blast. Lots of great people, beautiful cars, and some of the best driving roads this side of heaven. Come on and get yer **** off the couch and make reservations. Don't forget to register with 928 Specialists at: <a href="http://www.928gt.com" target="_blank">www.928gt.com</a>
See you all there!!!!!!!!
