When the car shows moved from Gatlinburg to Pigeon Forge I think in 1981 or 1982, it sure was a wild wild west atmosphere.  Today they are more tame.  Love the car shows.  In 84, I was 16, this is when there were burn outs on the strip about every 100 feet, no joke, the crowd got a greyhound bus to do a burn out.  It was the coolest thing I ever saw outside true pro streets doing burnouts on the parkway.
