Iowa Cruise 2009: Ideas

[Skrapmetal]

I can probably make this. Pretty close to my anniversary, but my wife is going to be out of town for that anyway.

I've still got that bigass sign, Corey. Not much I can do about it right now, though... I don't think I could get my truck 10ft out of the garage right now. Sucks too, didn't get the chance to clean it up before putting it away.

Holy cow-------> He lives!

remember though.... some of us are not 21 and can't gamble in most states so im thinking we should plan to meet and cruise to a dyno day/track day.... that would be best IMO

 

[zeus201]

^ Didn't even think about that...

 

[QuarterHorse]

I could be in on this.

Been a while since I've been on here, I had to re-register....

You don't have to be 21 to get in to the the buffet at the casinos. idk how many people are planning on gambling I'm not really. I just think a meet/greet where we can get something to eat would be a nice way to go after the drive to get there.

i guess im cool with that but i just wanted to throw it out there just in case people had intentions of gambling

Dyno day wouldnt be bad, if I can get my truck done throw a canned tune in it and limp over to where ever and get it done. hmmmm, Iam thinkin now.

 

[03snkvert]

I wasn't planning on gambling at the casino either! I just figured they probably had a good buffet and could handle a pretty good group of people.

The thing about the dyno day we dicussed earlier. It turn out to be A LOT of standing around for people. I don't mind it but, some people don't like standing around doing nothing!

 

[MachME]

There will be to many cars for a dyno day. Us omaha guys did a dyno day a few years ago with 8 cars? i think, it took from noon till like 1 am or something.

And yes, standing around is so borning.

 

[QuarterHorse]

Is there a tentative date set for this or are we just bouncing ideas back and forth at the moment before a date is set?

I believe we went with May 16th.

 

[03snkvert]

Yes, it will be the 16th. I heard a rumor that Lazerfest is going to be May 9th this year (the weekend before) so that will work out perfect.

Is anybody going to Omaha, or Coming to Des Moines from Omaha anytime soon?

What shop did you go to? I'm going to avoid that place as I've been to many dyno day's with way more cars and it didn't take even half that time.... If you need that much time per car on the dyno, you probably should do it alone.

 

[QuarterHorse]

I would bet Dynosport from the sounds of it. I've been there three times and every time it took a while.

 

[zeus201]

Everyone's right on not going to a dyno session, will just take to long.

 

[Black Sex]

i like the cruise/pics ideas or going to MAM

 

[QuarterHorse]

You guys are gonna make sure I bring my second bottle full aren't ya haha.
