I never went but I know a kid who went a few times last year. White Fox body with a 4 inch cowl and black wheels. It was a nice looking car, Don't know if any of you guys ever saw it.

Porky's is cool but it's hard to find a spot to park in there. We need to find a place with a big parking lot to accomadate all of us. What ever happened to the Rookies on 63rd? Anyone follow up on that?

We were out at porky's almost every Wednesday & alot of Saturdays. Parking was crappy when it was busy...Not to mention the lot is falling apart & has huge holes in it.

I just figure we can bomb a place with a few cars & see how they like it, if they do, more cars will come. I'm sure someone will try to get in on the Porky's market!

Good idea Jason. Get a bunch of cars to show up at a place and give them business. They will want us back. Unless we leave a bunch of black marks all over the parking lot, haha.

I think we'd get a quick boot from the law @ a place like that...

We def won't be ricer drifting in the lot!
I think if we go & spend some $, we can use the parking lot. I know in bigger cities they hit up different places, the ones that like it make accomodations & then it turns into a big spot. I think we should try the Rookies on 63rd & see what that turns out like. If it doesn't, we'll try another spot.

We have a few weeks before it will be nice enough & the roads are cleaned up, but we should set a date & get some cars out there.

I know, I suck. I just know it is close to me haha.

I like the idea of shooting some ideas to local places. Rookies sounds fine.

I was going to see if anyone was bringing their cars out a bit today. We could hit up Rookies tonight if anyone is free. I have nothing to do this evening and it is nice out.

My car is back in Newton and lacks a seat. I might swing by with my girl in her Stratus though.

Also iowa speedway is openining up pretty early this year, sunday april 6th they're opening up the track. I know alot of people dont care for it because its not really prepped at all and it's kinda unorganized but its somthing to do and have some fun.

And The 21st of April on saturday CFR is going to be open with swap meet and stuff, highly doubt there will be much for our cars but at least its nice to look around and then get to play on the track some.

Ill be up there on July 19 for sure because i have to go up there for a wedding so i just decided to load the car up on the trailer and take her up there, wont be any wedding reception for me to go to!!

Haha i hope that wasn't my car cause i wasn't driving it Its been in my garage since november, I'm gonna get it out this weekend hopefully I can get that new clutch in and we'll do some racing. I'd go to Iowa speedway sometime to try it out. I've been wanting to go to CFR for quite a while, has anybody been there?

I am down for anytime. This is one of the few days this week that I don't have to work at Lowe's in the evening and wouldn't mind going out for some food and drinks. Maybe 6:30ish? Think anyone could possibly make it? My number is 515-490-8309. Let me know if you can make it and I will be there. Feel free to text me at work and let me know, it is incredibly boring right now. My g/f will probably be with me as well so bring your significant other if you can.
