Sounds like a cool event, what is the idea behind the Bandit Run and what kind of stuff happens?
I'm not sure what route they traveled. I just heard about it on the radio when they were in town.
It was probably 40 or so T/A's with a lot of "Bandits", but not all of them. They had a replica of Buford T Justice's police car, and even a guy who looked just damn like him. They also had a replica of the tractor trailer (full paint job down the side and everything).
They got into town one day and had a tour of the Cooper tire factory and then spent the night at a local hotel where they had a show with food and drinks. Very informal, but pretty cool to see.
They even had some kids from a local mechanics school that had a 350 on an engine stand. They tore it all the way down (pistons, rods, cam, etc) all out, and then put it back together (complete to the air filter) in something like 24 minutes. Pretty damn impressive to watch.
