FTE (and you!) at the 2002 Supernationals

Our first F-100 nationals are behind us and will be a memorial one I'm sure. I decided at the last minute to take the F-350 dually as the 74 needed a little more time on the fresh motor. The dually remains at a Ford dealer in Atlanta with a $5000 to $6000 repair bill to a fried rear end. It ran out of warrantee on the trip and was 184 miles over 36,000 when it ceased forward motivation on I 75 someware north of Atlanta at 1:30AM. That battle with Ford continues and when its resolved I'll figure a way to get back to Atlanta and retrive it.
So we left the Atlanta Ford Dealer in thier rental Chevy Pick-up (at my expense) and proceeded on to Pigeon Forge where we all had a great time. The wife and 14 year old son both enjoyed are are all set for next year. The show was excellent and hopefully won't outgrow the venue. Pigeon Forge was a great surprise. I haven't seen that many Americans at a tourist attraction since the start of Disney World, as we are usually in the minority any more.
We'll see y'all next year, in a Ford!
