Spring Grand Rod Run in Pigeon Forge
Winter has come and gone…spring is here, which means the air is warmer, flowers are blooming, but most of all the smell of high-octane fuel and burnt rubber fills the air in Pigeon Forge, TN! If you’re a fan of hot rod car shows then April is your month and Pigeon Forge is the place to be as the annual Spring Grand Rod Run takes over the town April 18-20, 2008. Soak up three straight days of classic cars, good music, tasty food, and late nights as you experience one of the largest car shows in the United States.

Have fun and enjoy the Spring Grand Rod Run 2008 in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee !
The Spring Rod Runs are awesome. My family and I always take vacation in April so we can come to Pigeon Forge to enjoy the Rod Runs. Can’t wait until the 18th. See ya there.
We have been going to the Grand Rod Run since 1984-they have only gotten bigger and better through the years. Our children have grown up going to the Rod Runs.
We have be going to the rod runs for several years now. We love all the excitement. It is better every year and we can’t wait to see you on the 18th.
we enjoyed last years street rod show.
My family and I just love the car show and can’t wait until the 18th to see all the different cars this year.
My family attended the ‘70 Rod Run and loved it! We are looking forward to this year’s as well. I especially like the fact that there is such a varity of cars and not just one make. The show has grown a lot since the 80’s and it is great.
The first time I came to Tennessee, back in 2001, my aunt, my mother-in-law and myself (we called ourselves The Golden Girls) saw some classic cars and hot rods going down the interstate. One of them had a Coke wagon and I wanted to see if indeed it had seats on the side…I tried to catch up, but they drive much faster than I do. However, we decided to stop in Chattanooga and who was at the Cracker Barrel with their cars…the same ones we tried to catch up with on the interstate. My mother-in-law found them and introduced herself and they just happened to be from Milton and Pensacola (nearby to where we live). We still talk about this experience and how much fun it was. I have never been to a Spring Rod Run and I am thinking seriously about coming next week.

Is this only a parade of these cars up and down the main drag or is there an area where they are parked for viewing? I’m going and just wonder what to expect?
We just returned from the spring Grand Rod Run. It was awesome! Can’t wait till the fall show!
