-This is hopefully going to be a pretty big event. This is one of the first ever actual organized cruise/meet in the Des Moines area. There should be several cars coming from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Including a place called The Chop Shop. They should be bringing their cars and information about their place.
-Random House Racing will also be present. We may even have the beastly MKII Supra out. It's not complete but she might be on a trailer to look at. There should be quite a few of this local group attending.

-A massive amount of cars from JDMCity.com and Dragsource.net should be there as well. Lets hope that you StarCity guys head on over too as well as the NeStreetScene since we all know how huge that is!
Let's have one last huge turnout for the midwest! Fix your broke ass rides and head on over.
