Bryan, what did you think of the Grand=Run,? , see enough cars, it was really wild Sat. when I was there, saw alot more today as they were heading back to Ga., Ala. Fla. and other areas of the south.........Kasey

This was our 9th year going. There was a lot less people there than usual. I guess the gas prices really hurts events like this. We bought a 69 camaro back in the spring with intentions on driving it but with 3.73 gears it would have been expensive. Not a lot of hot rods out cruising but we will be back next year.

I just got home about 45 minutes ago from Pigeon Forge. This was my first time attending a cruise there. There were lots of nice cars there. I heard estimates between 4 and 5,000. I think half were Camaros, Novas and Chevelles. I will post pictures later.

We must have been at a different show!LOL. No place to park, and people everywhere. Absolutely gridlock where I was at.
I wish I had known y'all were in town, we had a get together here at my place Saturday night with about 60 people from different boards I visit. Sorry guys! Also, anytime you come, I have 7acres about a block from the parkway that we park cars, trucks, and trailers on. Free to any member here if you need a place to hide a vehicle or two.

Bill, I live in Maryville, and the road in from Wears Valley was backed up forever, I was surprised the large number of people that did show up, even the back streets had cars all over, mostly for sale, does the paper ever get facts, and figures on the show?. The show itself didn't have as many cars, like in the spring, but the streets were full from were I was. Hope to met you, and the othrer guys in the Spring Show, April 21-22-23. ....Kasey

If the spring show is bigger, where are they going to put everyone? With all the traffic it took 1 1/2 to 2 hours to cruise from one end of the strip to the other and back. It's probably 10 miles round trip.

James, Good Luck when it comes to Spring, get there early, and leave early if you can...avoid the ''Traffic"" HaHa..... .....Kasey

I thought about going to Floyd Garrett's again but didn't feel like a 3 hour 15 mile drive.

Kasey, Did you have your car there?
