The 36^th Annual Hot Rod Roundup hosted by the Shades of the Past car club has a long and storied history in the south. Throw in the great facility at Dollywood’s Splash Country and you have the makings for a “destination event” rodders look forward to every summer.

Oh, and did we mention the always popular Top 25 selection of some of the finest hot rods in the country and you have some spectacular viewing pleasure. But there is one more: The Painless Performance Products Triple Crown of Rodding founded by Advanced Plating, Classic Instruments, and Vintage Air with supporting sponsors such as ARP, Art Morrison Enterprises, PPG, and Wilwood is fast becoming one of the premiere awards in the world of hot rodding.

With approximately 2,500 entries there is plenty to see for the large Saturday morning crowd. Being Saturday morning all of the specialty award winners, the Top 25 and the Magnificent 7 are all lined up and ready to go for the 3 p.m. awards.

Come back later today to see the results of the TCR as it is stacking up to be a mighty competition. SRM
