We LOVE our annual trip to PF, which falls on the same weekend as the Spring Rod Run (fixed week time share). We’d probably enjoy the Rod Run, too, if it were somewhere other than all over town. It’s frustrating that you can’t get anywhere because of all the traffic. We arrive in town on Saturday and usually hibernate until Monday when most all of the rod run people are gone. Sometimes we’ll venture out to the Red Roof mall or Mel’s Diner, but only because we can get there from the resort without having to get out on the parkway.
I must say, though, the police department does a MUCH, MUCH better job of controlling traffic than in years past. It used to be that at most intersections people completely made their own rules – or simply ignored the lights and signs all together. Now there are officers at most intersections directing traffic, which makes it so much better!

We had a great time. I wish we could get a count on how many people was at the rod run It was packed. We go every year and this year seemed like a lot more people. We stayed at the Smokey Shadows this time. We will stay closer to the Convention Center next year. But all and all it was great. They should have more activities going on when the Rod run comes to their town. This Rod run brings a lot of money to their town and they should have more to do that weekend. Arts and crafts set up on corners would be nice. Some cookin on the strip BBQ, Hamburgers,etc. Im just sayin….

Was at the rod run this year for first time and had a great time. I would like to know , does anybody know the name of the vendor that was selling wheels and tires? (think he was from North Carolina) I would like to purchase a set from him and I didn’t get a card from him.

I have been going to the fall Grand run since 1989. In 1989 they did burn outs at the Grand hotel right in front of the hotel. Would be great to BRING BACK THE BURN OUTS. I guess the bad economy has struck everything, seems this year was a little slack at the Grand run. My favorite thing is to sit out by the parkway in my chair and watch the hot rods go by, well this year there werent many hot rods cruising the strip, mostly newer cars and trucks with a few rods here and there.

Still good but hope it gets better! BRING BACK THE BURNOUTS!
