Sorry to hear you won't be able to make it to Des Moines.

Kid are you going to be able to make it to KS? I heard about the good time you guys had last year and would love to check out your truck(s).

Kid · 06-05-2010, 10:45 PM

Hope to get back to KC this year, still not sure at present time. Did have a really good time there last year. All us board members will have to hook up & park together this year

**lolife99** · 06-05-2010, 10:52 PM

Kid · 06-05-2010, 11:03 PM

You know,... I haven't seen him since Nashville.

big_al_71 · 06-17-2010, 05:33 PM

I will be there in spirit waiting for all the picts that all my members here are going to post so that I can be green with envy....lol

Green K20 · 06-17-2010, 07:24 PM

I want to go, is it here at the fairgrounds again? I went 2 years ago and it was the best car show I'd ever been to.

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-17-2010, 08:06 PM

Green K20, yep it's at the Iowa State fair grounds again. If anyone needs discount tickets, I can purchase them for $10 ea from my Snap-on guy while he has them. They are $18 normally.

Haven't met him yet...

72BlckButy · 06-17-2010, 10:47 PM

I got my registration in the mail today; number 1319 IIRC.

Couple of questions guys...

Are coolers allowed?
- Do they look in the coolers for cans, glass or plastics? (Dumb question, but I don't want to be turned away)

What's the parking situation like? I've only been to KS GG's as a spectator, so I'm new at this.

Canopy tents allowed/needed? I understand there's an assortment of bldgs and trees (not found at KS).

Just trying to get an idea of what I need to bring and what to expect when we arrive in IA.

Coolers are definitely allowed.
We normally stay away from glass bottles.
We keep beer in a cool cups.
There are tons of food vendors there.
Canopies are where ever you can find to put one up.
Parking is where ever you can find a place to park.
There are a series of roads that wind thru the fairground.
There are also a few big parking lots. Some are designated for certain selected winners.
Parking in most grass areas is allowed also.
