Forum > 2005, 1st National Pinto Meet- Archive
What We're doing,
Scott Hamilton:
Crazy, it's your floor...
crazyhorse:
I've posted the itinerary in another place & I'll post it here too because it just makes sense LOL
Itinerary:
Friday:
6PM "Early Bird" Meeting at Western Sizzlin' Steak House. This will conclude whenever we decide we've had enough of each other's company. Afterward, we go do what our families want to do.
Saturday:
11AM-12PM Brunch at Shoney's for a "Meet & Greet" This is informal, I made no reservations, so we'll just watch the windows & I'm sure SOMEONE has Pinto apparrel to distinguish our little group!
12PM-1PM Photos &"people's choice" judging for awards at the NASCAR Speedpark. I plan on group photos of the cars, owners & both together. I also would like individual photos of each car & it's owner.
1PM-6pm Fun & games at the NASCAR Speedpark COST: $20.95 Adult $12.95 child/senior While there I'll tabulate the votes from the judging & fill out the certificates. There are snacks available in the park.
6PM-? Dinner at the Nascar Cafe. We'll be seated as a group, & we'll have a chance to "bench race" & get to know each other much better. Around 7PM I'll start giving out the awards I think Pintony has prizes as well TONY>>> E_MAIL ME!! once the party ends we'll go our separate ways so you can find things to do & places to spend your $$$ LOL
Sunday:
11AM-12pm Brunch @ Shoney's again (hey who can argue with good food CHEAP)
12pm Convoy to Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg (less than 15mi) This is possibly a congested trip. If you have cooling issues My wife will be at the tail end of the convoy with water, oil & trans fluid. A Taurus wagon makes a good "support vehicle".
1PM-5pm Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies This is a self guided tour & we can stay as a group. There are also snacks available inside. COST: $17.95 Adult $9.95 Child
5PM Convoy back to Pigeon Forge. If it was badly congested going into Gatlinburg, I intend to bypass the downtown area to save the "thermally challenged" any troubles. We'll decide this before we go into the aquarium.
5:30pm? We'll caravan to A&W Drive In where We'll have a hamburger dinner & most likely feild questions from curios onlookers! The A&W is a classic "Drive In" resturant. From the looks of it we'll be close to filling the place with Pintos! This should end early enough to let everyone go do whatever.
PLEASE REMEMBER THESE TIMES ARE STILL OPEN FOR DEBATE except the Speedpark there ARE reservations there.
Hopefully I've left enough "free time" for everyone to enjoy the smokies & surrounding areas. I''m proud of the area I live in & I hope everyone will have the opportunity to explore & enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
