Missing them this year, working on my replacement van since the 73 was totaled, Pigeon Forge may not do anymore runs, businesses aren't happy with the traffic jams and no parking.

Sorry to hear about the 73…….moment of silence……. I hope everyone involved is okay! Pigeon Forge and 95-98% of the businesses wants the Rod Runs because they are a big revenue for them both. The spring one got out of hand with the young punks and drunks but the Grand fall run was last weekend and they had extra cops there and it wasn’t too bad. Now the Grandnationals at the Leconte Center and the Supernationals at the Convention Center doesn’t create the same problems because it’s just Ford trucks at one location and not setting all the way through town.
Its a nightmare, bumper to bumper, I just avoid it at all costs, nowhere to park and lower my lift, if people see an inch, they'll park in it, I can't get out so I stay away. I remember when Pigeon Forge started writing tickets for loud stereos, talk about gouging for revenue.
I avoid PF and the whole of Sevier County at all cost!! So, anyone got any listings for small get togethers/cruise ins? Or just hanging out in the Wally World parking lot?
The spring Rod Run, Shades of the Past, and the Street Rod Nationals I don’t ever go to. Very rarely that I go to the fall Rod Run but I go to every F100 show. If your a Ford Truck fan and don’t attend those you are really missing out! I just thought someone on here would like to know those dates.
Well Foothills mall in Maryville has had a cruise in every Friday evening for years, I'm not sure if it has resumed yet this year, I used to go before my wreck, lost interest in rebuilding another in the middle of my project, health, and no help, so I've not got back into the cruise.
