top About Southeast Sharkfest 2008
Southeast Sharkfest is an annual BMW gathering that focuses a weekends worth of attention on one of BMW's most beautiful automobiles: The BMW 6 series. With a production run of 13 years, the 6-series was the premier touring coupe of the 1980's (produced from 1976 to 1989). The 6 series body was offered in various forms ranging from the original carbureted 630Cs to the M6 and M635CSi supercars. (Full model line includes the 628CSi, 630Cs, 633CSi, 635CSi, L6, M6 and Euro M635CSi).
Southeast Sharkfest allows owners of these rare and beautiful vehicles to gather in an atmosphere of common interest and discuss all things BMW (and many things not). In previous years, we have incorporated into the event vintage motorcycles and some amazing examples of BMW's finest designs. Registration is open to all types of BMW's, and we will probably have a display area for non-6ers, however the only vehicles that will be judged in the primary show area during the Saturday car show are the original e24 chassis 6-series (1976-1989) and the new e63/e64 chassis 6-series (2004-current). The vehicles will be divided by era, however neither will be excluded.
Old Salem
Come join us for another fantastic weekend celebrating of one of the most timeless automotive designs: the BMW 6-series. The event will be held in historic Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Spring will be in full swing and promises to provide Southeast Sharkfest with beautiful scenic backdrops and a pleasant locale. Southeast Sharkfest 2008 will be sure to please both driver AND passenger!
For our 2008 event, we return to our traditional schedule format. Friday will begin with our traditional mountain drive. This year we have once again located routes with NO or MINIMAL traffic lights and very clear, concise routes to avoid any confusion that may have existed in previous years. We will likely have a rally-type event this year, as opposed to our traditional group drive. This should provide an interesting twist on the Friday event and allow everyone to explore the routes at their leisure (or lack thereof). :)
This year we have secured for the Saturday show, a wonderful "Germanesque" meeting hall in a converted barn at the beautiful Tanglewood Park (adjacent to a golf course). We will have more than enough space to spread out. Additionally, we will be at the event area throughout the entire day (that means no moving to another location for dinner like we did last year!). The dinner will be catered this year and we will do our best to provide the best selection of food! We will also do our best to make lunch available throughout the day at the event site.top Payment Information
