      croozin'

      Full tank of gas for a 25 mile run?? Am I missing somethin'?? This is my first time so us noobie's needs to know?? I've registered and will get hotel soon. Don't laugh when you see my '69 please. Hope to make some new buddies at the events. I can't afford to compete and take a chance on breaking, but I want to definitely watch all you guys have fun. Mine is an everyday driver with over 250,000 miles and I will be driving it to the events.

      A little more than 25 miles.....depends a lot on how many times you get lost in the mountains....a full tank is a good thing.

      I think it was closer to 125 miles maybe further!! My wife helped a few out shuttling gas back and forth in our Tahoe! Cell reception sucks on the parkway as well.
      I don,t think anybody will laugh at your Camaro. Nobody laughed at mine, at least not to my face. This is cool group of folks to hang out with!!

      I wasn't going to mention names Raymond! LOL Maybe we need to stash some gas in the woods along the cruise route!!

      We will start at the Main Stay as usual. End up on Hwy.66, up towards the interstate. I will have everyone a detailed map and turn instructions. Also will have backroad info back into PF from the shop we have dinner at. I would say the total trip will be 125 or more. One thing this year, we will be sure everyone knows to get gas before they get on the foothills parkway or dragon. that is about 60 miles roundtrip in itself without any gas stops.

      The cruise on the Dragon is only 25 miles long ( 11 miles or so each way ) , but the total cruise is about 60 miles each way ..
      ( The Dragon is 25 miles away from Pigeon Forge )

      We won't laugh at your car .
      All cars are great , regardless of what condition they are in..
