I'll be leaving just after lunch, if I can schedule some simple work for my helper at the shop, and my boss lets me. What route are you taking? I won't be driving through Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge! There's a way around Gat. and P.F. that adds a few miles, but it will surely be better than sitting in the gridlock. Google says about 4.5 hrs- 186 miles?

I won't be making this one. Pete and I are going to get an engine for Mary's squareback.

Clyde,
It's all in the time you leave Athens.. If you leave town by noon you should beat the traffic. I never have an issue unless I get into Sevierville after 1630. if that happens its a 2 hour trip to the fair grounds..

The other way to go adds a few miles, but will also stick you in traffic according to what time you get there.

You are much better to leave early, or not leave until 1700, that would put you in town after the craziness stops after dark..

Or you can use 411 and come in the back way, thats the way I used to go when I had the parts truck..

I can leave around 11:00 Friday. Looks like it's a Type 4 and a type Ford Rolling Eyes

I can't make it either. I will be helping Jon get a motor out of a squareback at the salvage yard.

Cool...
We'll leave Commerce around noon and you can chase me all the way there :-)

Bring my 2 stroke 36 horse case with you :-)

Had a blast, Sevierville just seems more relaxed than other shows. Maybe 'cause the BK crew doesn't bring the attitude factor into it. Met a few new folks, and spoke with a few old time vendors- really cool to talk business with "the competition" and actually get tips on who to buy from, etc... Most of these guys seem to really be into it for the sake of our hobby.
