Rod Run

[skjl47]

Hello; I spent several hours and walked a few miles yesterday in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. During September there are two rod runs. I went to the first yesterday and hope to go to the one next weekend. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of cars, trucks and all on both sides of the street. Largely classic american muscle but most anything can show up.

I took anumber of pictures of cars that are for sale. I have been considering an old muscle car but have not made the jump yet.

Aw, you gotta post some pictures!! I love classic cars!! What kind of cars have your interest? I have a 70 RS Camaro, a 72 Firebird, and a Vega drag car. I'm keeping an eye out for a Jeep CJ7 or a classic Chevrolet pick up, something early 60s- 70s. My dream car is a 69 Camaro.

Hello; No, the rod runs are bi-annual events. There is one in the spring and two in September. The rod runs in September are on consecutive weekends.

There wil also be a Corvette expo in October. This is also the time of the fall color of the trees. For those not familiar with the area, Pigeon Forge is just outside the entrance to The Great Smoky Mountains National Park on the Tennessee side.

Hello; I went to the second weekend of the fall rod run today. This time I took a few pictures showing groups of cars and trucks.

Hello; I have not yet made it to the LeConte center. My understanding is that is where the professional car shows take place.

The higher quality show cars are there but so is the entire swap meet.
