Hey guys,

I am going up to Missouri from Texas around Spring Break to visit some family. Are there any meets, or much to do around this area? I will be there on a Friday and Saturday and it would be cool to shoot some **** with some of you guys considering there wont be hell of a lot to do with the family. Let me know!

Jeremy

Thanks for the response man. Just trying to find some **** to do while I am up there. I looked up stuff to do in Joplin on google, and there is nothing. Sounds like a blast.

there are more cars here than people would have you believe, they're just all on jackstands 95% of the time

we've got a crowd of anywhere from 4-10+ f-bods at a time, it just depends on who's being lazy or not. only a couple are very fast, most are stock/bolt-on cars. i've got a H/C/I SS...there's a MS4 car, a bolt-on HOSS, H/C/I WS6, a fleet of LT1 cars...someone has a procharged 408 Z28, but he's a lone-wolf that never drives the car or talks to anyone or races it at all...

PM me when you're headin this way and we can get together. there's a car wash everyone goes to friday/saturday night pretty religiously.
