5:00pm - 8:00pm

Old Heartland Truck Warehouse
3000 Heartland DR.
Coralville, Ia

Once agian we're gonna have a meet/eat in Coralville. We have had very good turnout's last year, so bring your best and see the rest. This will be open to all Imports/Domestic, Car, Trucks, and bikes... Lets all get together and have a good time, eat some food, take some pics and take a cruise.

After the cruise we can gather and decide upon a place to eat. BWW seems to be the choice. So maybe we ead back that way.

I've had a good time at the ones I've been too, who else is going?

[Drifte]

Sounds good. I'll go, hopefully have my camera picked out by then.

[JacobS]

the cruise route is about 1 hour long with two checkpoints. should be a good time!

[Domestic Disturbance]

The cruises have been pretty good both times I've gone. Its funny cause they usually go up by where I have always cruised before.

[Deimos]

Damn price of gas

[AutoMods]

i'd like to see the viper. i wonder if jesse's viper will be there? i know he's went before to one of the IC meets but I heard he had a bad experience there so maybe he won't be back

[Domestic Disturbance]

Added it to the Calendar for ya

[AutoMods]

ahh, thanks

[z28z34man]

it's a conspiracy i am always working the weekend car stuff is going on

[Phish]

This could be interesting to go to and meet a few new guys. Would be cutting it a little close as far as having a tuned car goes. Right now i am planning a tune for the weekend before in texas. Anyone else from Des Moines planning on heading down for this?

[boostedsohc]

if my car is drivable by then maybe il try to make it up there. trying to rush and get it done by april 17th for an event.
im hoping theres some e85 stations up that way?

I'm in DM but I'll be in CR for work the week before so I cant roll over with you. Hopefully some people from DM show up!

easiest place to get e85 would be the north liberty exit, the station is right of the 380 ramp

[Clinical]

I'll probably try to make it up, if not in the laser than hitching a ride

Phish, I might try and make it to this meet if I'm all squared away.

[69gt4speed]

I plan on bringing the 11 and ppl can drive it w me riding passenger,..[wife is picky] If I don't have to work or something.

Ryan is that a coop or something gas station, I don't know of it.

I'd sure like to see the viper, been a long time I saw one run hard w modifications, was my first video reason he asked me to race I laughed then he found a modded 11.3 lsx. Hmmm Ya I still got it crappy video sound ok and really from one town to another right before hill u cross over to indep from k.c. top of hill is blue spring. On 40 highway. The lsx got smoked on viper hooked up. I'd be like 4 blocks behind then at least.

If you do head out there let me know. If mine is not together and tuning i may jsut hop a ride.

[Judd]

I might be crashing in Iowa City for the night if I end up going. Im sure you'd be more that welcome to stay too, but just a heads up.

[Phish]

My girl may be workin down there also, so maybe we can figure something out. Lots of options and what ifs when it comes to cars being done and where to stay and what not.

[DustinsDuster]

i don't want to promise anything, but if the truck is running decently by then, i'll try to bring it down for people to see.

Hell, I suppose if the hatch isn't done yet, I could always just bring the RSX instead...

[Batwood]

If all goes as planned, I'll probably show up.
The Regal should be tuned and everything by then!!

[LT1Dan]

Any bets on how long til the cops show up to this one? They were pretty cool about it last year but I'm sure they got some calls about our cruise after they talked to us. haha It was a blast last year but I have a little more time til my car can make it down. Maybe next time.

[AutoMods]

Its a public Kum & Go.

quote from a guy on some e85 website "Brand New E85 location, I haven't tested the Quality yet, Right off the North Liberty Exit on I-80 (interstate 80) In Iowa. Best E85 in area is on first avenue coralville, off the I-380 exit, it generally runs E90"

[AutoMods]

just seen channel 2 talk about e85 in iowa is on avarage 83 cents cheaper per gallon and last year was a record year for e85 consumption in iowa

So I heard. I'm pumped!

[Garrett]

Glad to see the meet got posted here already! I along with Sony Vo and the others at ICCM worked hard to get some good meets and cruise's last year, And both went great. Hopefully we can have a great turnout and everyone can have a great time.

[fordman0910]

Maybe if i can meet up with anyone from des moines before hand. im pretty sure i havent ment anyone from this site yet. im always up to meet people that are into cars.

[probegt]

ill be there for sure

[Zakster87]

I'll be there for sure, I have spread the word to the Iowa Subaru Club and the QCB4 guys also. I know at least a few from each will be coming.

[Ricky]

might bring the WRX down there if im not lazy and dont find something else to do

[JustinS]

Don't be lazy, get your ass down there!

[DustinsDuster]

also, i dont think i'll be doing 100+ down there with you guys, but i would like to go as long as i dont run into any problems before then. i've got a pretty decent idea of where it is, hopefully the weather holds out.

[derek072887]

just incase people have questions on where it is from CR

[Stutz]

If i dont end up stuck at work then i'll be there

[StreetSweeper]

I might possibly take the StreetSweeper on a nice highway voyage. I will have to see though i might drop it of at Lorenzo's to get the shoot mount fabbed up, but if i can and some other locals are willing to roll down with and the weather aint to bad i might consider it for a bit. wont be going on the cruize but id come hang out for a couple hours!

you could always bring down the bentley too George

[Batwood]

Change of plans... but I might show up late in my Ford (assuming I can get the clutch figured out.)
Going to pick up my blowed up car in Indiana Friday night.

Then again, I'm not sure driving on 38's all the way to Iowa City is a good idea... probably take 965 or something.

[Stutz]

it blew up when paul was tuning it?

[Garrett]

Looking forward to seeing all the cars here! Should be a fun time.

[FiFdYnUtZ]

id love to make it..but, uhh....might find a way to cr to roll up with someone..

Wait, it blew?!

[Batwood]

Well... now I'm not even sure.
Either I have a cracked flexplate and just have a bunch of crap in my oil from having the motor apart (hopefully) or it spun a bearing.
But the more I hear about it, the less I believe that it spun a bearing. Flexplate will be here Friday, either way.
It started to spin on the highway at 50-ish with boost controller turned all the way down... was going to turn the boost up the next day.

Oh well though... I might just make an appearance in the truck and trailer, but probably can't stay.
