I spent the day at a car show with the owner of the collection that I posted some pics of a couple of weeks ago.See post at bottom of page.I may have convinced him to host a car show next July(2008) during Summerfest.(a celebration in town).I would possibly like to try to have a 348-409 mini-meet as part of the show.I think that the 348-409 cars and maybe all 58 to 65 Impalas etc. could have there own show area and awards.Plenty of room on the Golf course adjoining the museum for lots of cars.This is in central Iowa about 3 miles off of I-35 and 8 miles north of the junction of I-35 and I-80.Town of Ankeny,for those of you who want to Mapquest.
Is there any interest of the forum members here in attending a show like this and has it been done before?
I would be open for ideas for a cruise the night before, or other activities for the forum members during this event to make it a little more worthwhile.As far as a dragstrip close that could be rented,I don't think that that is an option, although I could do some cking.Newton speedway has 1/8th mile test and tune /grudge racing everyother Friday nite this year but I do not know the schedule for next year.It is about 30 miles away.$20 and make as many laps as you want.Track prep is minimal and maybe even nonexistant.
Please chime in here guys with a yea or nay so I know if I need to pursue this thing or let it slide. Thanks, Andy..
