    There is currently (830am) no traffic getting to registration. Might not stay that way.

    It will increase as the day goes on for sure for GG, and by mid to late-afternoon and the President's event will be heavy plus commuter traffic late afternoon.

    I'll be heading down there in the next hour or so.
    If you get there before noon or early afternoon should be normal, but from then on will increase.

    For those of you who will be coming in from the east on University Avenue today (Thursday), turn south at Williams Street after you go down through the valley and over the creek on University in Pleasant Hill. It is a stoplight halfway up the hill. It will T into Dean Avenue, which will then take you right to the registration gate.

    Registration traffic very heavy and long lines at both pre-registered and new registration.

    I’m baking like a toasted cheeser , but we got a spot in the shade and I’m laying down so all is good. Seems Saturday level busy for a Friday… must be because everyone has the day off today.

    Left at 4:50 am and got back to Wichita at 11:10 pm. Got rained on 4 times, saw probably 80-90% of the show and had a great time. The video is up on my YT and already has 3400 views, so I'm happy with that.

    Just wanted to give a big thank you to Travis for taking the time to video the Des Moines Goodguys show and sharing it with all of us. For those who couldn't make the trip this year, your footage gave a solid taste of what it was like to be there—awesome rides, killer atmosphere, and all the good stuff.

    You even caught my car at the 20:21 mark—appreciate that!

    Keep up the great work. Your videos are the next best thing to being there.

    Thank YOU to everyone who watches them. I'm still nowhere near making profit on these, but every month less and less of my own money has to go to documenting car shows to help encourage others to attend. 20 years in and I'm still crazy enough to do it, hopefully I'll never learn.
