yay to the 1982. The more 4 eyed cars the better.

[Unmrkd]

Bonnie & I plan to be there with the '88 MSHP. Sure hope they have spots for folks with "Work In Progress" cars.:)

[28HopUp]

I would be happy to borrow someone's SSP if they have an extra one. :D Regardless, I plan to attend.

Can't wait to meet everyone and see all of the different cars!

Hello All,
Is anyone familiar with Tennessee weather in March? It would faster for me to get there in a straight line than in circles

Hello All,
Is anyone familiar with Tennessee weather in March? It would faster for me to get there in a straight line than in circles

It ranges from mid-50's to mid-70's this time of year down there.

Currently it's 64 degrees.

[Florida528]

On thanks much.

[usajay38]

I’ll b there but without SSP

[MOstang]

Haha...I’ll be making a few weather prayers we don’t have snow here trying to get out of the state in one piece, with my SSP. ;)

[Snoopy11]

Can someone post a direct link to the event/application. Thanks.

[TWOCARNUTS]

We'll be there with the 93.

[28HopUp]

I find it amazing that this show is just over 3 months away. That's not far from now...

[kapracing]

I gotta get busy busy busy ;)

[xxtrpr]

Not looking good for me.

[28HopUp]

Not looking good for me.

That stinks!

It sounds as though they're expecting around 35 SSPs.

[28HopUp]

PITS2020 is NEXT month! :)

[kapracing]

:eek:PITS2020 is NEXT month! :)

[28HopUp]

It's getting closer to show time!

I threw some wax on the old truck today. It looks decent for a 12yo Maaco paint job. It kinda makes me want to drive this to the show instead of the 94 Cobra (almost!).

[28HopUp]

This should not come as a surprise -

https://poniesinthesmokies.com/2020/03/16/pits20-covid-19-update-3-16-20-event-postponed/

PITS20 COVID-19 Update 3/16/20 – EVENT POSTPONED…NEW DATES 7/29-8/1/20!

With the current Global COVID-19 Pandemic, the recent Executive Orders and CDC warnings over the weekend it should come as no surprise that in the interest of public safety city officials are requiring next week’s scheduled Ponies In The Smokies to be postponed until July 29th – August 1st, 2020.

The entire schedule of events and venues will remain.

ALL MONIES PRE-PAID AND VOUCHERS/WRISTBANDS RECEIVED IN THE MAIL WILL BE APPLIED TO THE RESCHEDULED DATES

We appreciate everyone’s support and patience as we closely monitored the situation and weighed every possible option first. We are thankful that all of our venue’s gave us this flexibility to reschedule and we believe in 4 months the effects of this Pandemic will be in our rear view mirrors.

Also, as a result of the new dates, PITS Summer Vacation ’20 originally schedule for July 24-25, 2020 has been canceled. 2021 Summer Vacation details to follow at a later time.

Please be safe and heed the warnings and guidance given by our political leaders, medical and scientific communities and military personnel as communicated.

Sincerely,
The PITS Crew

So I guess folks will have some add'l time to get their cars finished. With some rooms being non-refundable, are any SSP owners still planning to go next week?

[Hwyman]

Depending on what state my SSP is in, maybe I'll bring it down

[28HopUp]

Who knows? I may have another SSP by then!

[Andy]

POSTPONED another way to say no refund's
All the car show's I know about that would be in April 2020
have been (as they say) POSTPONED. even the local car club
meetings have been canceled! Let's hope we all get Thru this OK
Everyone please stay safe, stay well.

[28HopUp]

Backatcha, Andy! :)

[1988Bullitt]

I'll be bringing the Kansas SSP for the new dates in July.

[28HopUp]

I'll be bringing the Kansas SSP for the new dates in July.

Nice!

[28HopUp]

It was posted this evening on FB that PITS2020 has been cancelled. :(

[NoDrama43]

Carlisle is up and running all their shows.

[28HopUp]

I've been to Carlisle many times, but that was when I lived 90 minutes away. I'm not sure I can get up there this time.

[MOstang]

I’ve viewed a Facebook reply where one of the recognized organizers indicates refunds will not be issued. Rather, they will apply as pre-payment for next year’s event. Not surprising, but I suspect that decision will elicit some criticism.

[1988Bullitt]

So is 2021 going to be a SSP "reunion" again or are they planning on having another featured set of cars?

[sspanthony]

I believe Aaron that it will still be a reunion bcuz they already notified me if I would be able to attend n keep my indoor spot for my SSP ??

I would think if they were going to change it to different cars, they wouldn’t be asking about SSP indoor spots BUT that’s just my opinion, I did not have anyone verify it from PITS.

[Unmrkd]

I also received a E-Mail confirming my indoor reservation for 2021. Let's hope it will happen!

[Snoopy11]

Didn't know about this event. I will try to make it.

[kapracing]
