I sure hope so - I will be doing my best to attend this year! I felt like I got "schooled" by the guys who attended the driving school this year!

Registration has not historically been open until late June or early July preceding the RTTH event.

Guys, late breaking events today may alter the date of RTTH this year. For now, save the following weekend also. More info coming soon.

There were about 6 at RTTH VII, but only about 3 at RTTH VIII. Another won't hurt, though.

I'm looking forward to it again. Hopefully, I'll have the truck setup a little better this time. I'm going to try to get in on the school for sure, though.

Anyone in Pigeon Forge want to take delivery of the car for me if I ship it in from out west to run it at RTTH? With my schedule there is no way it's getting driven from Phoenix to TN and back for the event but shipping it in and joining it for the weekend is always an option.

I'm not in Pigeon Forge, but about 50 miles/1 hour away in west Knoxville. I could take delivery of your car in Knoxville and keep it safe in my garage until you arrive.
I am about 30 minutes from the Knoxville airport if you are flying in. I know that you don't know me from Adam, but I've known Bill Howell for a long time and he can vouch for me.

Bill Howell
01-14-2013, 11:21 AM
Sorry, missed this post.
Feel free to ship it to my place. 6+acres in Pigeon Forge with ample parking. I am losing (leased) my indoor storage but it will be secure here and I could possibly put it in a storage container if need be.
Also, if it is easier for shipper to deliver to Knoxville, LeadSSled is a great option and he is closer to the airport than I am. Yes, I will vouch for him as long as he isn't asking me to tell you he will never hit a cone.....hahaha

Bill, Terry (not Adam), thanks for the offers. I'll have to look at auto transport and see who can pick up and deliver to the various locations. I expect I'll find either will work but Val and I are still discussing options right now. I'd love to just drive it that far but I can see my boss's reaction now.... "You want a week off to do what?"

LeadSSled
01-14-2013, 01:50 PM

Actually, it is "Terry". I just said that you don't know me from Adam. :) If I can be of any help, just send me a PM.

Great question! Detroit Speed lists RTTH's as being as Sep 21-22 and Orange Cone Racing has it as Sep 20-22. I'm ready for clarification. One weekend is my National Guard weekend and the other is Goodguys Indy, so it's going to be a bummer either way.

Tom, you have listed the same weekend here, just left Friday off of the DSE listing. As for now, and that could change, but it looks like RTTHs will be Sept. 20-22. The thing that could possibly change is location. Still waiting on clarification.

Yep, I am aware those are the same weekend but I think the confusion was based on the original information that was put out. Thanks for the clarification!

So is this date final? Some of us are considering the cross country drive to do this and need to put in for vacation to see if it's possible.

RTTHS will be Sept.20-22. However, it may be in Nashville rather than PF.

Not very "hilly" in Nashville. You've already got "Run to Music City". Whatcha gonna call this one?

I hate to see the original event move away from where it all got started. But I understand business is business.

If this event is moved to Nashville, it really doesn't make sense for you to ship your car to Knoxville. You would still be 2-1/2 hours away from the action.

I hear, you, understand you and would love to keep it here. If it does go to Nashville, and likely will, it will be Run to Music City. RTTHs is the granddaddy of all our events and people love coming here. The problem is, we have simply outgrown our venue available here, and can not grow the event unless there is someone that will put in a road course we can rent and I don't see that happening. What you may see is a cruise only type event come back to Sevier County, but for now, we need more/better/larger venue for this to grow.
Sadly, that means I have to travel to attend also.

True, it looks like we're just gonna drive it out take a week hit the east coast then go to the event and then head home. We are also toying with the idea of driving out then shipping it home. Should be a good time.

I kinda like the fact that there wasn't a road course at RTTH. It was a totally laid back atmosphere. I tend to think that road courses intimidate people to push there cars to the point where they run out of talent. That can be dangerous...very fun...but dangerous to a rookie.

That being said...I'LL TOTALLY BE THERE!!!!!!!!

SparkyRnD

Nashville = 3.5 hours from me
PF = 3.5 hours from me

WIN!

Plus I have some friends up in N'ville, would be good to see them and have a fun racing weekend at the same time!

I have heard of people leaving Trailers or Campers in Walmart Parking lot over the weekend. Not specifically the Walmart at this event but in general. I would call them and check.

So I'm new to this series, and have a few questions.

First, I can't seem to find a schedule anywhere online. Could someone point me to a link? I looked on the American Street Car series site, and didn't see one...

Second, I have a 42' Goose-neck, and am staying at the Governor's Inn. What are my chances of finding a parking spot, and if none, could someone point me in that direction as well?

Third, I see the Autocross will be held at the TN Smokies Stadium, but where will the rest of the event take place?

Thanks in advance, and look forward to meeting you all!

Hey Junior Johnson.......I asked Jess the same thing a couple days ago. And got a schedule and required forms emailed to me this afternoon. It appears he sent it to all entrants. If you didn't get it.....pm me with your email address and I forward it to you.
Additionally, I just happen to be wearing my Junior Johnson T shirt.

Schedule has changed. We were able to get the stadium lot at the last minute (today) for Saturday since the ball team lost their final game last night. So, autocrossing Friday and Saturday morning. cruise and dinner saturday afternoon. No drag racing now.
