Default RtD2017 - The Sunday Car Show Meet Drive

For those that might be interested, our forum friend MWC has alerted us about a large car meet in Knoxville at the West Town Mall from 8-11am on Sunday April 30. I don't have concrete info yet, but looks like there will be about 4,000 cars or so that may attend.

I usually leave Sunday morning through a final drive on the Dragon onto Maryville / Knoxville and make a stop for a special brunch at Copper Cellar, which is a favorite of my wife and myself. I am planning to leave sometime early enough to make it to the car show and spend an hour or two there, hit up brunch between 11 am and noon, then head home. If anyone would like to attend, let's coordinate times and make it happen. Specifics will be posted as info becomes available.

Attendees:
1.) PwrinxS
2.) MWC
3.) PJCC
4.) Derka

I am interested. Can be at this meet until 10:30 am to make it back home on time for dinner. Please let me know what your departure time from Fontana will be.

Awesome! You guys are added. If we want to park inside and be a part of the show, we may want to get there earlier (I heard by 730am) but otherwise we can leave Fontana around 730am and get there around 915am and take our chances. It will take us approximately 1 hr 45 mins to get there. To a part of the show we would have to leave super early like 545am. What do you guys think? I'm cool with the majority vote.

P.S. Brunch opens at 11am

I don't need to be part of the show, so for me no 5:45am departure. However, I do need to leave the show by 11:00am (at the latest) to be home by dinner. So, I propose a 7:30am departure time from Fontana, arriving the the meet/show before 9:30am.

I'm interested but it'll honestly be a game time decision (and somewhat dependent on the bourbon tasting the night before).
