We are still attending, but please change the names on our tags to Ken & Jeremy Romain. (TNxfire)
Wife is unable to attend that weekend, so my son will join me for this fun event.

Ok, I THINK the attendance list in post 2 is up to date.
Seems like there may be a few on Facebook that are sharing rooms with some of us here that I don't know about. The car count is 77 (three being rentals or non-Crossfires) but there may be a few more that don't show up on the Lodge list due to room sharing.

Not sure I can get the list any more accurate.

I think the record is 83 cars, but as to how many PEOPLE, that is a hard one to answer. Ten years ago, most attendees came alone. Today, most cars have couples in them.

As to number of cars, the history of the event is here:

We appear to be at 80 cars now. We are four from the record, if everyone shows up who says they are coming, and I believe that will be the case, as we have had four cancel already and those are off the list.

Got you, Seth. NO idea how you got a room, hope you are not staying in Robbinsville, but even if you are, welcome!

Most groups will be leaving the lodge Friday by 9:30am at the latest - just keep that in mind.

We must have a LOT of people sharing rooms, Jim. I have only 69 rooms but 84 cars.
I keep being told the lodge is booked by the lodge staff, yet people are somehow still getting rooms.

I am in Blairsville Ga and can drive home in an hour or so in case i don't get a room. last year i got a room 2 weeks before the meet.
I think if other car clubs members cancel their room, they give them to whomever calls (at the right time.) I think you can add myslef and wife Mary to the list do me a favor next to chriscat ,,greg if he does attend ,and myself Next to our name Put V8
thanks jim

That is true, I talked to Marie Friday, she said that as of 5pm Thursday the place was booked. But over the weekend I have a newcomer that posted who apparently got a room.
People cancel - happens all the time.

I'll add you, I dont think Chriscat is going.

Good to hear, sent a PM.

There are a handful of entries on the attendance list who apparently cancelled without mentioning it.
I'm trying to weed them out so we have an accurate list (for planning and historical reasons )

Just like to give heads up to the guys that may be coming down 75 into Kentucky , south of Lexington, there is a lot of road work being done ,it will be that way until Lake City Tn. this can cause big slow downs on 75 , Just keep Alternate Routes in mind going south , and don't get lost or , well I will let the picture tell the story LOL !!!!
