F100 show

We just got back from pigeon Forge and the Smoky Mountain F100 show.Had a great time.met up with the FTE site crew,sat around for hours solving the worlds problems.Like not enough donuts,and if Lance needs a panel to carry his growing family.Video Bob put on a great cruise Sat night.We had about 30 trucks in line as we went through Gatlinburg.The sidewalks where filled with waving and cheering truck fans,I would like to have a dollar for every picture that was taken of our parade.At each light questions would come from the fans,What year,did you build it,and is it fast. Really a great time.I hear the police are still looking for some of the crew that ran the dragon on Thursday. Only 360 days until we meet again. Thats all from damit Ray.

What!!!???? Effies playing on the Dragon, Nah! We wouldn't do something like that Had a blast, but I think I did some damage along the way somewhere Sort of had to limp home with a sever vibration, seems that the tail bearing in my trans decided it was time
If there was a better time to be had or a better bunch of folks to hang out with in PF this weekend, I don't know how it could happen. Almost makes me want to skip the AK trip next year and come to the show again Thanks everybody!

Jeff,
Glad you made it home even if it was with a limp. We had a great time with you and all the other folks from FTE. I ate to much and didn't get enough sleep, what a blast!

I bet we could get ford or some of the parts stores like mid fiffty to sponsor a all f 100 trip to AK. I think you could count me in. Just think what a long fun trip it would be.
