Ill be there. Bout an hour over the mountain from me. Ill prob be in my little blue Lm7/th400/s475 s10. And try not to go to jail. All the stories of the cops being horrible are true. Believe me, i spent 15 hours in the sevier county jail last time i was there. lol. It is alot less wild now due to the overwhelming presence of LEO's. But we'll still have a good time. See yall there.

Glad you didn't mention that 3 weeks ago; I just got back, and showed my *** more than once right thru the middle of Pigeon Forge.

Classy isn't something typically expected from Panama City, and more particularly, noticed in Eastern Tennessee.

yes i definitely understand the strict enforcement they have now. my family went since the mid 90's. my brother owned a black/gold stripe pro street 1970 442 w30 with a blown BBC. he used to do burnouts from one red light to the next and he was never bothered by cops and the bystanders loved the action ofcourse. now, if they hear your tires even squeal, they pull you over

This is true. Now there is so much traffic a night, cops are on foot and can issue tickets through traffic - average speed @ night is probably 1-2mph on most of the strip. Do a burnout and you have no where to go.

even with the amount of police, and slow moving traffic at night, i'd still have to say this is probably one of my favorite car shows that i've been to! plus people always find a way to be entertaining going up and down the strip

LEOs or not, if it were closer, I'd be there in a heartbeat. I absolutely love G'Burg/PForge.

We always try to go Jan-Feb... It's a ghost town, precisely how I like it. Plus, this stuff happens.
