I just looked at a map from our hotel to the host hotel on google earth and it’s about an 8 dollar uber ride so I guess that’s what we will do. You’ll pay that much to park somewhere I’m sure

Wow, lousy forecast! 90% chance of rain on Thursday and Friday, 60% on Saturday and 40% on Sunday. My car still has the original weather stripping and the trunk and driver side window both leak pretty bad, so I will not be parking it out in the rain for two days. So, unfortunately, I am going to cancel and hope for better weather next year. I was really looking forward to this trip, but the hotel has a 72-hour cancellation policy and I need to cancel today or pay a one-night penalty.

See you next year hopefully!

The forecast is improving! It's now only an 80% chance on Thursday and Friday. LOL. I was looking forward to seeing you and the "new" Formula.

I know, Scott. I was looking forward to seeing you as well. We are going to keep tabs on the forecast and if it looks doable, we’ll see if we can get a last minute room somewhere.. If several folks cancel, there may be a change of getting a last minute room. We also have an event in Nashville this weekend, and may just go do that if the weather is better to the west.

Hope you can make it, but I understand not wanting to get it wet inside for sure.

My room is already paid for and non refundable so looks like I’m going. I have been watching the weather everyday for the last week and it’s gone back and forth to just cloudy to rain. I guess I will chance it. The forecast here has been thunderstorms everyday for two weeks. Although we have had a good bit of rain we have also had some blazing hot clear days while they were telling us that it was just gonna thunderstorms nonstop. I have yet to hear thunder or see lightning

Just got done fitting the pontoons to the GTO! I’ll be there.

Anyone know if the creek has made it up to the lower parking lot? I have been getting flood warning notices on my phone today for Pigeon Forge.

Funny, I can't remember many shows over 1 day that I've ever attended that it didn't rain at least some part of the event.

Jerry, No rain at the TA Nats last year in Dayton, OH, was the first multi-day show I’ve been to that it didn’t rain.

MCACN in Chicago last November was rainy, but it is indoors.

I’ve been watching the radar for Pigeon Forge, sure hope they stay dry and have a good show!

It has rained a few times but mostly dry. It's been a good show so far. Today is supposed to be really nice weather.

Does anyone know who’s unrestored 64 that was that had the perfect wood wheel in it? The car looked like a survivor but the wheel looked like it was brand new. I love that wheel and would go nuts to have one

The car belongs to Lee Barns in South Carolina.
