OK guys and gals, in light of having gotten some positive feedback to put on an event this summer I thought I'd post up a few ideas for a meet here in Des Moines. The idea is to center on a weekend with things going on Friday night, Saturday and early on Sunday.
Currently I'm looking at centering the event around either a trip to the drag strip or an auto-x. There are two problems in that the nearest 1/4 mile is 2 hours north of Des Moines in Janesville, Iowa (Cedar Falls Raceway) or that the only currently scheduled auto-x's in August are on Sundays so it would put you headed home late afternoon if you stayed for that event.
The overall schedule plan would be hangout Friday night and go shoot pool, Saturday do some type of event or cruise, Saturday night probably grill out/hang out at our place, Sunday short drive and picnic or an auto-x depending on everyone's vote.
Please vote only if you truly plan on attending the event. I want to get a date set early this month so everyone can have ample notice and get time off arranged if needed.
Those are all the car events I can find for August. However, the Iowa state fair does run from August 11-21 here in Des Moines and is a pretty fun time as well. Please vote for your best date/event and then if there are certain dates you absolutely couldn't make, please post them.
Thanks,
Rick
