Event Description
Following on the heels of the highly successful First Annual North American Audi TT Gathering in April
2001 to tour Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob houses near Somerset Pennsylvania, the
Audi TT Car Club America is proud to present the second annual East Coast Audi TT owner's event taking
place in and around beautiful Asheville, North Carolina May 2nd to 5th 2002. TT-East: Asheville 2002 will be
a multi-day event to tour the exquisite European architecture inspired Biltmore Estate, to drive the
mind-boggling 318 turns in 11 miles of nearby Deal's Gap, and to share in the enthusiasm that the Audi
TT inspires in us all. With picturesque scenery, inspiring drives, vendor exhibits & tech sessions, and the
camaraderie of fellow Audi TT enthusiasts, this year's event promises to be one of the largest and most
exciting Audi TT gatherings to date!
Event Details (subject to change)
The TT-East: Asheville 2002 event opens on Thursday evening May 2nd in Asheville, North Carolina at the
Sunspree Holiday Inn with an event pre-registration session followed by an opening reception party. The
final event registration session will take place Friday morning May 3rd and after a buffet breakfast, there
will be several vendor-sponsored technical sessions as well as vendor exhibits available for browsing
throughout the day. Then late Friday afternoon, we drive to the nearby Biltmore Estate to take a guided
candlelight tour and then it's off to dinner at the Stable Cafe located on the estate grounds. On Saturday
morning May 4th after an early buffet breakfast, we depart early for an all-day drive to Deal's Gap to play
on a myriad of twisties, also known as The Tail of the Dragon. Those not wishing to drive to Deal's Gap
will have the option to visit other attractions in and around the Asheville area; vendor exhibits will also be
available throughout the day. Finally, on Saturday evening, a closing dinner and a vendor-sponsored
raffle will take place.
Official Event Hotel Information
The official event headquarters will be the Sunspree Holiday Inn in Asheville, North Carolina - every
registrant is strongly encouraged to reserve there to take advantage of our special group discount rate.
At last check, we were actually over our allotment at the Holiday Inn Sunspree and the hotel is sold out
for the TT East weekend in Asheville. Not to worry, though!! We have a secondary hotel already lined up.
It's the Best Western - Central and is a mere 2 miles away from the Sunspree. It's being fully renovated
currently, with the completion date planned for March .... in plenty of time for the TTers to enjoy brand
new facilities. The hotel is off I-240 at Exit 5, and is within walking distance to over 150 shops and
restaurants.
They have an outdoor heated pool with tiki bar (although the pool may not be open by then), outdoor
volleyball court, fitness center, in-room coffee service and hairdryers, and rooms come with a
complimentary continental breakfast (but you may not want to miss the huge breakfast buffets planned
at the SunSpree!). They also have an onsite sports bar and grill that is going to have multiple large
screen TVs (with headphones), pool tables, and dart boards. This facility seats 225 people, and sounds
like a good gathering place for TTers. The sales rep stressed that they have lots of parking to offer.
We have a block of 50 rooms available at the group rate of $69.95(single or double)(plus 10.5% tax)
until April 2, 2002, at which point I'll have to release any unreserved rooms.
The hotel's toll free number is 1-888-854-6897. Ask for the Audi TT Club rate.
Event Registration Sign-In Times
Location: Laurel Foyer, Sunspree Holiday Inn, Asheville, North Carolina.
Time: There will be a pre-registration session from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Thursday May 2nd; the final
registration session will take place from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM on Friday May 3rd.
I look forward to seeing you there - Rahul
