Not yet signed up, you still can!

For those who have not yet signed up, you still can! See the signup info in the next post. If you want to stay at the Biltmore at the discounted group rate, we *might* be able to get you in at that, but it may be difficult at this time - let me know though, so we can try. Otherwise, you can stay at the nearby SleepInn (details below).

Signed up, need a room?

For those who have signed up to attend, but are not staying at the Biltmore, we suggest staying at the nearby SleepInn (link and details below). Also, please copy and paste the form in the post below with your info and email it to Don!

Staying at the Biltmore?

For those who have signed up to attend and are staying at the Biltmore, you should have already registered yourself with the Biltmore at the discounted group rate. If you had signed up to stay at the Biltmore, but have not yet registered at the Biltmore (just a couple of people), try to register with the information provided or let me know if you have a problem registering.

Send in your checks for admission tickets!

For those who have already signed up, please be sure to send in your check for the discounted group admission tickets (unless you are with the Canadian group who is being addressed separately, or an active Carolinas Region VCA member then you are covered by the region).

Any questions, please let me know! This event is going to be great!

Any updates, special info we need to know?

Any updates, special info we need to know?

An email just went out last night to everyone with the latest update, and that same info is here:

This weekend is the Vipers at the Biltmore event! We look forward to seeing everyone this weekend. We will also have a special guest of Tom Sessions, premier Viper Tech, for any questions (and hopefully not necessary, any technical assistance).

The initial on-site meeting location will be in the parking lot across from the group sales office at the Biltmore, between 8:30 and 9:00 am on Saturday the 22nd. Event information flyers will be available on site for the rest of the itinerary, basically as previously outlined.

If you'd like to join a caravan up to the Biltmore in Asheville Saturday morning, there will be some caravan options, as follows.

One from the Triangle area at the Exxon on E. Harden St. in Graham, NC (Exit #140 on I40/I85) at 5:15 am and depart by 5:30 am. (Anyone from the Triad area that wants to join up, please contact John Slaughter at 434-242-6842.)

One from the Concord/Charlotte area at the Zmax dragway entrance (right off of Exit #49 off of i85) at 6:15 am.

From there both caravans will proceed and meet up in Statesville on I40 westbound at Exit 148 in the parking lot of the "Boxcar Grille" at 6:45 am. We'll wait around 15 minutes and then leave at 7:00 am to head to Asheville to arrive around 8:30 am.

Anyone who just wants to meet us there at the "Boxcar Grille", be there at 6:45 am, otherwise you can just hang out on an exit ramp along our route and just join us as we go by.

The Concord/Charlotte group will be heading up I77 northbound to I40 westbound in statesville and then on out to Asheville (contact is Don Smith 301-643-5588).

The group coming down from the Triangle area will going out I40 westbound the whole way
(contact is John Slaughter 434-242-6842).

CORRECTION! The caravan from the Triangle will meet at the Exxon on E. Harden St. in Graham, NC , which is Exit #148, not 140! (Yes, it's the same exit # as the Statesville meetup, which is because then it is just on I40 and not the merged I85/I40.)
