Hudson’s parking lot was full Tuesday morning, May 24, 2022 with ridders for the Bandit Run.
The Bandit Run is a reenactment of the journey portrayed in the 1977 film, Smokey and the Bandit. The reenactment first took place on May 15, 2007, and has become an annual event. The reenactment was the brainchild of David Hershey and Dave Hall who wanted to commemorate the 30-year anniversary of the classic film. Hall, of the website, Restore a Muscle Car and Hershey came up with the idea!
The trip began in Texarkana Ak and has been happening for 45 years!
Magee was a gathering place before stops at Picayune and Destin for the vintage cars. Seeing those cars peal out on highway 49 was exciting and scary! Any time one gets on highway 49 it is scary. I think one of the favorite vehicles was the MS highway patrol car!
