It's RideTechs sponsored autocross track that's set up at alot of Goodguys events.
Look here:

This is the official site for the Des Moines event also:

**lolife99** · 06-24-2010, 09:17 AM

And this is a COOL place that we frequent, when in Des Moines.
http://thehighlifelounge.com/

Which is right next door, (actually connected) to this place:
http://www.elbaitshop.com/

IvelDesigns · 06-24-2010, 10:48 AM

make sure if you go to the high life, that you get the bacon wrapped tater tots.

I think a Sat night trip to the High Life / El Bait shop sounds like an awesome plan.

btw, when are all you KS / MO guys planning to be in town?

I'll be in town on Thursday.
We're staying at the Host motel,... the Marriott in West Des Moines.
Still not sure if I'll be taking the blazer.

I'll be bringing up the rear and arriving Friday either mid-morning or in the afternoon, depending when we can get out of the house in the am.

Also staying at the host hotel. Wife and I are planning on partaking in a lot of the recommendations made by those that have attended in the past. Will add the High Life and El Bait.

jce4isu · 06-25-2010, 03:16 PM

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-25-2010, 04:44 PM

Still plenty to do! Hope the weekend is productive!

72BlckButy · 06-27-2010, 05:29 PM

bttt.....

72BlckButy · 06-27-2010, 08:03 PM

Question... we were talking about towing and had heard there might be tougher regulations in IA. Anyone know?

72BlckButy · 06-27-2010, 08:07 PM

Any tolls/weight stations we need to worry about with towing a truck on a tandem axle trailer w/ 1/2t truck?

I have never had a problem towing a Car/Truck and I use a One Ton Pickup. Just make sure its strapped good that is the only thing I have ever had a problem with. And there is no tolls in IA driving Hwy/Int. Can't wait to meet you guys.

jce4isu · 06-27-2010, 10:48 PM

Who is all camping @ GoodGuys This Weekend? I was there today and checked it out.... Deff get your spot early specially if your in a tent! Shadded spots are hard to come by.

BTW there are already 10/15 people camping drove thru today.

My Transmission is in just have to put fluid in er and test it tomorrow!

Enough said off to bed....

IvelDesigns · 06-28-2010, 11:46 AM

Sounds like my uncle will be bringing an RV in addition to me and my tent.

67_ShortFleet · 06-28-2010, 01:58 PM

the forecast!

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-28-2010, 03:06 PM

Beautiful forecast! I hope it stays that way! As far as towing, just make sure to have your vehicle strapped at 4 corners. Other than that the IA DOT should leave you a lone.

wild4wheels · 06-28-2010, 05:43 PM

My brother and I will be there Friday and Saturday all day..need tickets! ...and hotel advise! No, haven't booked anything yet..figured we would wing it

Thanks guys, and this is the only way we roll.

Also... any car wash recommendations that are close to West Des Moines (host hotel)?
