Did you go? If not, why? It's one of the biggest car shows in this area every year!

We went up Saturday and hit the strip about 5pm. I saw a lot of cars that have been there before...and people from all over. We saw plates not only from Tennessee but from Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Virginia, Washington and even Montana!

The traffic was bumper to bumper but we didn't mind at all...the cruising is what it's about at Rod Run. You don't have to just sit still in a hot parking lot all day waiting for someone to come by and admire your ride. You can get out there and show it off in style!

My husband and I go twice a year...to April's Spring Run and then in September to the (even bigger) Fall Rod Run.
Every year we have a blast meeting people, taking pics of the beautiful rides and just enjoying the comraderie and the beautiful mountain setting.

I took a few pics this year (I usually take more but this year I was doing most of the driving) so pop on over to my album if you want to see the crowd and some sweet rides.

Shades OF The Past is at Dollywood the weekend before and has an top notch car show. I posted an album. Is there any show at the Rod Run or is it all cars parked on the strip?

A Bite of History - Marcos 

By Mike Thies

The Marcos was one of those wonderfully unconventional British sports car companies that could only have come from the postwar racing world. The company was founded in 1959 by Jem Marsh and aerodynamicist Frank Costin, with the name Marcos coming from Marsh and Costin. Costin brought serious aircraft and racing design experience to the project, and that influence showed up immediately in the cars: low frontal area, light weight,…

A Judge’s View from Pinehurst: Sandhills Motoring Expo 2026 by Mike Thies

The 2026 Sandhills Motoring Expo Concours in the Village was one of those days that reminds you why we do this. Held Sunday, May 24, in the historic Village of Pinehurst, the event brought together more than 130 judged automobiles representing over 40 manufacturers, and from this judge’s point of view, it was a first-class field, a well-run operation, and a genuinely enjoyable day with owners who were proud to…
