I hopped on over to Jackson TN yesterday and took in a good part of this year's Bunny Run. Despite ridiculous gas prices, and temperatures that were falling about five degrees per hour, the turnout was strong with good variety. Several of our own were in attendance, as were a large contingent from across several states. The weather started out nice, but got progressively colder as the day continued. A few extra shirts and a hoodie and all was well... at least it wasn't wet.



The variety of cars in attendance was astounding. Mostly of the street rod variety, but numerous tri-five chevys, and noteworthy muscle cars also made the scene. I had the pleasure of meeting several people from the area who keep this whole automotive hobby interesting, and made quite a few photos of what was on hand. My biggest miss of the day was not getting a shot of Kirby Kennedy's Selmer TN based Y-block powered Model A that graced the pages of The Rodder's Journal # 37. I was pretty well stunned to see the dove gray coupe as it drove past me out of the fairgrounds. I'll have to seek this one out in the future, as it is extremely slick in a traditional homebuilt way, and it's not even a Chevy! The photos speak louder than my words can so have a look at what was on hand in the photo gallery section.



Of course, it could get overwhelming at times, so a midday nap in the full sun could be just the ticket when the action was too hot to handle! Although just a tad chilly on Saturday and downright cold on Sunday (even though the weather was perfect on Friday) this event makes it clear that the 2008 car show and rod run season is now under way. Next up... Super Chevy!
