***What's up everyone, I'm(Nismonkey) posting this for my friends over there on www.tnkytuners.com (http://www.tnkytuners.com) ! We're trying to set this up for SPRING OF 2007!***

So, Im sure that the title is what brought most of whoever of you that are looking at this. (Wow I think I lost brain cells reading/typing that)

Anyway, Ive been thinking I want to do something thats an event that will bring people to the site more and help put the name out there.

What better way to do this than a good ol fashion poker run? right? Mike(nismonkey) and I(Chris) are working the details out when we get more rules and stuff together we will post them here is what we have come up with so far...

1) Entry fee - $20 for the driver $10 for the radio/navigation person (this person is required/mandatory) total is $30 to enter.

2) $10 per passenger in the car, other than the driver and radio person.

3) Each vehicle will be required to carry a working 2way radio and/or cell phone (that works)

4) Each vehicle will be given a set of driving directions, you are not required to follow the given route, but it is highly reccomended.

5) Each vehicle (driver/all passengers) is required to sign a waiver of release, stating...that TNKYtuners is not responsible for any tickets/traffic violations etc.

6) Have fun!! Enjoy the scenery, its a mountain drive from what I have been told. And there is a lot of crap to do in Gatlinburg according to Daniel (McDizzle). Ive been told there is a outlet mall and a million restaurants and go-karts and over all the place is a tourist trap. With loads of hotels. So, enjoy yourselves.

** And remember, the more cars we have the bigger the prize money!! **

$30 x 100cars = 3grand
3grand -2grand for prize money
(1st-$1,000 2nd -$750 3rd -$250)
Tthe last 1grand goes to the site for BBQs and Tshirts and Stickers, etc.)

So if we get 200cars, think of what the amount for 1st place will be

Who all is interested in this? Lets get a list going.

Would you really be willing to drive down to TN or KY to get in on this??? That's one heck of a drive!

Anyway, I would think it would be a good idea to bring an adult along with you. This things is still in the planning stages, but it looks like it'll be March, April, or May.

Check in often for new information...

Works out good then. The plans are to have a nice drive from Louisville, KY down to Gatlinburg, TN. Help us spread the word man to EVERYBODY. I have this event posted on several other sites, and the response has been great! It's only been online for a few days now!

I am definitely interested. I've heard a lot about that area and would love to get out of the "big city" and let the Titan breathe some fresh air for once. Chicago traffic doesn't allow for her to open up much!!

Keep me posted

My wife and I will be in TN in March for a conference...and if that's the time frame.....we'd be interested. We'd rent a Titan or Armada and join in.
