My wife and I are taking another couple with us in our ugly old 69 chev. Caprice. I'd post a photo but don't know how. We're staying at the host hotel. Haven't been to Nashville in a long time so I'm sure everything will be very different. Thanks for the info.
I'm heading that way in the morning. I will be going as a spectator since I am doing some repairs on my '40 Chevy right now and it is not drive-able. I will be spending the night South of Nashville Friday night and then going into the event on Saturday. Plan to drive home Saturday night. I just bought some new 512mb sd cards for my digital camera, so I am ready.
Any other time I would say get off on HWY 155 or Briley Parkway. It is so tore up it ain't funny. Stay on I-65 until you come into town and just as you past the stadium where the show is I-40/I-24 split comes up. Stay in the left hand lane and take I-40 East towards Knoxville. If I am not mistaken Donelson Pike where the airport is is Exit 216. Like I said give me a call if you run into trouble. I work weekends (Sat- Mon). I just got off and don't return until Friday evening. I am covering a guy who is out on vacation.
Just a short note about the show. It is a great show with a ton of nice cars. The only issue is the heat!!!!!!!! But it is supposed to be better on Saturday. Just getting ready to head to the host hotel for the TGIF party. Hopefully be able to post some pic's after we get back home!
Hey guys I live outside Nashville about 20 miles down I-24 in Murfreesboro. I won't be able to make it. Have to work all weekend. Hey bear in mind traffic at 8:00 on Friday morning when the gates open is not pretty. So the closer you can get to the stadium prior to 8 the better. Hope everyone enjoys themselves. IF you are coming from the East on I-40 there is some construction zones so be careful. Up on Briley Parkway there is construction. Coming in from the North on I-65 is probably the worst traffic. Hope this helps someone. I am off on Thursday if anybody runs into any mechanical, lodging, or other traffic you can reach me at 615-497-7921. Thanks Donald
