Is Shades of the Past going to be a bust?

Have gone for many years. Back to Gatlinberg. I,m 62 now and can,t see stopping now. Good times and great friends no matter where the run is.

 

If you see that flamed highboy get the hell out of the way! Whats up Burnin Vernin

 

We're inseparable.

WTF?!?!??! You just bought that thing!

JH

 

bring a cooler w/ lotos of ice and have a blast!

 

I'm going tonight, I don't care about the venue change, I'm gonna relax, spend a couple days playing with the boy by the pool and ridin' rides at Dollywood, I'm gonna look at cool cars and not look at the ones that don't catch my eye, I'm gonna eat some good food (cream cheese pancakes at Log Cabin in Gatlinburg are heaven on earth), and most of all I'm gonna have a hell of a good time. Look for me drivin my uncles's red '41 Pontiac convertible as he doesn't like to drive and I'm more than happy to!

 

I'm gonna respectfully challenge that statement......
Protect and serve? You mean...
enforcing city statutes like no easy-up tents---even on private property(motels), no chairs on the sidewalks, no vehicles without current license plates on private property(parking lots), no vending(yeah, sit with parts in a pickup and see if you don't get h***led), no parking/standing in private parking lots(stop your car for a minute to talk to a friend and get h***led by the bicycle cops), no motorized vehicles on the roadway without plates and safety equipment(don't ride your Whizzer on the shoulder, kids)
My goodness---those people must be IDIOTS to break those important laws!!

Yeah, I'm glad they're there for the drunks and burnout fools(most ALWAYS locals)....but they really could lighten up on the other **** if you know what I mean....Unfortunately, they don't.

 

That is the proper at***ude ...
The weather forecast is mid 80's and a slight chance of ****tered showers.

Looks to be another great weekend.

.

 

I'm leaving tomorrow A.M... Hope it is not a bust..

 

Mrs. HRP and myself will be leaving for Pigeon Forge in the morning,,looking forward to seeing a lot of old friends and meeting others.

I'm going to have a good time and I hope everyone else does too! HRP

 

Are you driving the 54 wagon ???

 

I'll be heading up thursday morning,it's always a great weekend,with plenty to see and do.I'll be motoring around in the little blue corvair conv. hope to meet a few HAMBer's

 

Couldn't agree more lookin forward to a nice relaxing weekend.Every time I'm in PF I come back home so relaxed hope to see everyone there I will be in Nicks AKA Malcolm's old Galaxie.

 

Look forward to meeting you an seeing your P/U hopefully we can catch up in that big crowd.

 

il be in mcdonalds parking lot sat. nite drinking sweet tea and watching some cruising stop by hang out later

 

This sounds worth going for all just by itself.

 

Just go and have a good time. I've been to all of 'em and never got h***led by the Man, even in my misspent youth. Of course you gotta act like a grown up. I've seen the cops do some pretty silly things in PF during Rod Runs and I've seen them abuse people too. The trick is to be able to spot trouble coming and know how far you need to be away from it when it gets there.

 

Hey - be sure to go help out Max Grundy - he is supposed to be there selling his merch. Not everyday that an artist like Max shows up to Shades of the Past

 

Can't wait..... Arriving Friday evening! I haven't been to this show for years.

 

i'm going on saturday and it looks like it may rain...hope it blows by

 

Hope to be there on Sat am for a full day of sun and a Killer road trip!

 

Denise,
I had them this morning for breakfast. I've been smiling all day, they are that good!

Went to the show lot this morning after breakfast. All was a little confusing but we did get a gr***y spot and put our canopy up. Don't know what to expect tomorrow but there's alot of nice cars here already.

 

pops is there now, but has said it will be his last one (and my uncle won the give away car a few years back) the combination of new location (asfault) and the new policy about no canopies anywhere but gr*** is going to really hurt them.

 

I like a little shade as much as anyone but damn.... Since "rod runs" don't really exist anymore, not being able to pop a tent isn't going to keep me from enjoying a car show.

They moved the show out of that traffic-strangling, dust-bowl, hell hole of a "farm". I hated that place. Face it, it's September in TN. Its going to be hot wether you're on gr*** or pavement. I went out to the show this afternoon & actually like the location & venue. Much nicer that last year. The top of the hill even has the potential to catch a little breeze if we're lucky.

If all we have to ***** about is not being able to pitch a tent, we've got it pretty good.

I agree ... I was there Thursday and today ... FRIDAY.

I like the new location even better than the old one.

And the SWAP meet looked better and BIGGER ...
I found a few cool things today and looking forward to more of Saturday.

I am not at WORK ... the weather was in the high 70's / low 80's and it has a LIGHT shower for maybe 10 minutes so IT IS ALL GOOD.
