does this correspond to the large hot rod gathering in Tn every year?

I don't know about that, I recived this invite last year. Alex Gabbard
is known for his write ups on the Tiger and of course the Cobras. I had a converstion with him 15 or 20 years ago, when he lived in NC, I asked if we could use some of his articals from back in the day, and reprint them in our news letter for TE/AE.
