    Yep, it was another record year for car count in Des Moines. Simply said, you guys rock!

    The weather was pretty damn hot, but still tolerable and I even had fun after taking 25 hours to get there after an emergency landing in Denver complete with firetrucks and ambulances!

    Here's some of what I saw...

    Cool pics. Any idea what was under the hood of the Volvo? I assume with rear tires that wide and the bulge in the hood that it wasn't sporting the original B18 or B20 4 cylinder.

    I don't know the exact number, but as of the end of the day Saturday the count was only 21 away from the record and they registered another couple hundred on Sunday. My personal guess would be over 4000.

    It's a great fairgrounds, perfect for cruising or looking...it's no wonder it's a new record...it's just too bad the humidity is so bad in the Midwest...!!!

    Thanks for sharing KIRK! I think that is one of the top shows that Goodguys puts on. It has always been one of my favorites and it kills me that I haven't been in four years now. Thanks again for posting the picks.
     
  26. Awesome pics per usual, Kirk! Thank you....

    Thanks for the pic's man! It WAS frickin hot Saturday-but this show has gotten progressively better over the last 5 years and the quality of the rides certainly does as well! Maybe next year I'll take Beasty for the day;)
