I was there last year... about a 4 hr drive for me from St. Louis. Neat show but fairly small. Nice group of cars and had a great time in KC. I think Goodguys KC is the same weekend, so it might be worth the trip.... I'm considering going just b/c I dont have anything else to do over labor day.
the fat fink movie ought to be worth 7hrs. god willing and the rivers don't rise, me & my 58 will be on the road 12-14hrs. should be fun!
Naw I wouldn't even bother. it'll just be a bunch of cars that lean toward trad and thier owners and spectators. probably some folks acting a fool and haveing a good time. hell yes climb in the old hooptie and fly. Uh you do own an old hooptie, right?
I was at the very 1st show when it was only 10cars! I went for the 1st 5yrs BUT the air circulation at the El Torreon sucks ass and so does the f10 foot tall fence they had around the drinking area to Keep underages out and over 21's in. Hopefully everything has changed this year! If Todd is in charge then you will see a significant change I enjoy it, but it has become commercialized, just a warning. Hit Buzzard Beach for the Brew in Westport BBlaze on 39th has the best greaser wear in KC The Crave 1 block from BBlaze has the best damn friggin coffee ever! I lived in Kansas City until December 2005. Lemme know if ya need anything If you dont make it to KC Hit Tulsa at the BIG car show at Mercury Lounge! StarkWeather Boys and Bays Brothers are playing Saturday Night! Heather
I will probably go, but still up in the air. It looks like rain and I have sorta' had a bug sneak up on me and kick my butt. Chris Nelson Kansas copy/paste from the email they sent me.
