I read on the F100 Supernationals site that Pigeon Forge didn't reup their permit to use the parking lot. Same thing sort of happened to the Smoky Mtn F100 Fun Run. Glad it's not back in Knoxville and I guess the Grand still isn't up and running. I plan on sending PF a piece of my mind after the New Year. Lebanon is closer to Memphis but I think I have to work that weekend. With Goodguys going on in Nashville that weekend it's going to be crowded.

I'll not be making it, I can't make trips, my tank has yet to be cleaned out, so I have to fill up every 1/2 tank, and look forward to fuel filter swaps, something I will NOT be doing along the interstate. Not sure why it decided to move 200 miles west, puts it out of my reach.

I'm not crazy about Lebanon myself, but I'll expect to see a lot more car shows migrate that way over the next couple of years. The Redneck Rumble is expanding to two shows there this year.

Yeah, there are many empty buildings due to businesses that went bankrupt, it's a tourist trap, I love it when they bitch and run tourist away, because they later blow city funds to hold council meetings to discuss what happened, wondering why they aren't collecting as much tax money. I can take you through all the abandoned outlet malls, yep, makes me sick everytime I see an area being developed, then there are so many abandoned ones close by!

I agree with you Joe; my concern is Charlie & Rodney the two guys that have ran the F100 show since Pat sold it splitting as well? Rodney is the poc on the F100 show in Sept at Maggie Valley verses Charlie hosting the F100 in May in Lebanon. Love to make both show's if $$ supports my addiction.

Looks like I am scheduled to work that weekend. The only times I've stayed at Lebanon was at the State Park. Usually on my way or back home from somewhere. I like the outlet mall there. Much better deals than PF. But I will have to use 24 to 32 hrs of PTO to make it, so.....
I would like to hear more about this Redneck Rumble.

It got stashed in the side of my shop with the plastic I brought it home from your place on it. The truck I was going to put it in left for Alabama about a year ago. Its sitting right beside the engine stand I bought for it.

Got some head bolts?
Put her up on the stand and at least do a tear down so you find if it needs anything. I was told it had twenny K on it, by now the oil is dried up in it.
Flip it up-down and pull the mains and rods, then do a retorque if it looks good.
*Just a nasty suggest: a Ranger or a Probe would fly with that in it. (and I bet a probe with a sound body would be cheap to come by. I like their aero profile)
If the barrels look good, new bearing it and resale if you want, but that's bound to have some nifty internals. See if it has forged rods at least - ID the rods and crank by the part numbers on them

Does that mean that you're in the market for another mid-fifty effie?
