Re: COPO #51 at Pigeon Forge TN
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.

Re: COPO #51 at Pigeon Forge TN
I thought about going to Floyd Garrett's again but didn't feel like a 3 hour 15 mile drive.
James Kasey, Did you have your car there?

Re: COPO #51 at Pigeon Forge TN
Kasey,
The show itself may have been smaller, I have gotten to where I never go to the Grand anyway, too much on the strip. If you know Gary Neff in Maryville, go by his shop and check out my GTO. James, There are back roads that save many hours during the weekend. PM me next time you come this way. I will hook you up. I promise I can get you from the Grand to Floyd's and back in less than 45 minutes.

Re: COPO #51 at Pigeon Forge TN
I got back this afternoon. Seems like many Camaros and Chevelles were there....I would guess 40-50% of the cars on the strip were for sale!
Didn't make it to the Grand, but it took me about 5 hours to walk from light 4 down to 10, and back to 1.

Re: COPO #51 at Pigeon Forge TN
Sounds like a Woodward type deal...

Re: COPO #51 at Pigeon Forge TN
There were some nice cars at the Grand but not enough to warrant a $10 admission fee. There were probably 150 cars in the actually show at the Grand and about 5000 up and down the strip that you could see for free. I spend most of my time between lights 4 and 8. I left for home at about 11:30 this morning to miss the traffic that would be leaving later.
James

Re: COPO #51 at Pigeon Forge TN
James, I did'nt have my car this year, I have had my Pace Car featured inside 2 year ago, it was on the Tn.-Fla football weekend, playing here, never seen so much orange and white, I'd made a fortune in picture concessions..I'll be taking my corvair in the spring, I'll be inside, hope to see you all...Kasey
