See if this works, apparently google gives you alternate routes now.

Wow only 10 mins!

Its probably about the same, because when you are on I40E I guarantee you won't be doing the 45-55 mph speed limit. Its basically two lanes highway with LOTS of turns and bridges/tunnels. I highly recommend that over going towards Knox and then coming over on 129/The Dragon.

Since I'm flying solo on Wednesday....I'd rather know up front so I can plan a different route thru the city!!!! THANKS!
I went they way home a few weeks ago and it is still there, sorry

The damn compressor went out. I have gone into urgent mode, picked up a new compressor, currently I am pulling the turbo all its components to get them out of the way and then pulling the compressor. I hope I get this done before thursday.

My damn luck.

I live in a glass house so I shall not throw stones, but you know how I feel about hair dryers, but to each thier own. I knew you were waffling over your next mod, I see that you made up your mind.

You like it?

yeah, I am happy with it. I was getting bored with my car, sad to say. I've had it for 7 years so it was about time to do something. I got a great deal so the project didn't cost me too much.

thats cool, as long as you are happy with it, after all it is your car, just look at mine

you'll have to pop your hood and show it off. I'm curious as to your tuning/fuel solution

Yeah I saw that on the TNdot (well if that's what they call it lol) site. I"ll make my way round it.....I'm a creature of habit and I'm comfortable w/ the way I go and being the first time I'm making the trip solo I'll stick to what I know....and feel good about.......plus not passing the sign to rock city on the way down seems kind of........odd......

NO. Actually Bryan pulled them over and had in depth conversations with them about just that. Matter of fact, they are going to stick around, they will be keeping all the cabins for themselves and not letting us in at all. Actually Bryan probably pulled them aside and told them to stay, invited them to stay.....he'd rather hang out w/ a bunch of bikers than us....

OR maybe they are all going to magically disappear and there will be no bikers whatsoever w/in a 50 mile radius of the dragon........

Come on.

If they aren't they will be sleeping outside because we've got the entire damn place booked!

Last year was a lot of bikers too, but not staying at Fontana (a few maybe).
