If you live in the midwest....

...how many of you would come to a f-body gathering?

Specifially the 2004 Second Annual Midwest F-Body Gathering...in Des Moines, Iowa.

I put one together last year and got good results. Pics can be seen here:

PICS from 2003 Meet

Plans this year include a BBQ in my 2 acre back yard, maybe a dyno day at local machine shop, and maybe go-karting too in a brand new go-karting facility.

T-shirts will probably be made, awards may be given...it all depends on the amount of peeps that will show.

Anyone interested? If so, I need to get emails/screen names as to who will be coming.

Please fill out this form at the new site I just put together. It can be viewed here.

The dyno may be a thing of the past if we don't get enough peeps interested. It seems like it would be a day long event and I don't want to cram everything together.

A giant cruise was also brought up. Just think, lots of f-bodies going around Des Moines...that would be so cool.

Try to get the word out, as I have already posted on CZ28, TGO, MNF-BODY, EIFBA, MFBA, 3rdgen, StLoiusF_BODY, and f-body.com....and hopefully more.

Josh

I've been to Des Moines for f-body gatherings a couple times in the last few months

I do most of my talking with the IFBA through the Iowa f-body email list.

I recognize only one of those cars (Josh's white TA). Holy wing on a third gen batman

Kind of strange that I hang out with the Iowa f-body group and haven't seen hardly any of those cars or heard of this get-together

Thats cuz last year was the very first one, and word wasn't spread very well. This time I'm trying to get the word all over the place. Sounds like you may be able to make it!?

I'd probably make it. It's about a 4 hour drive for me so I have to make plans ahead of time. It looks like at least one of our members was there and he usually spreads the word

When is this event taking place???

I don't know if I'd go unless anyone from around here was going, but make a post in www.3rdgen.org 's midwest and plains forum. There are probably about 15 or so 3rd gen guys from around cleveland that hit alot of shows over the summer
