IOWA Meet! (or possibly with neighboring states?)

What's up Iowa? I know there is just a few active members but I think we can start thinking about having a meet in a month or so when the weather is nice.

I notice that there are bigger crowds up in MN, or down in MO or KS area. So any great ideas? Post up!

Whats up Jungy, sounds good i'm down for a meet in the upcoming months. As far as ideas, I'm good with local or out of state for one of those big events like in KC last year. Looking forward to attending my first meet

I am located in Central Iowa. I like driving so I would be either up for local as well as driving out of state to see some nice TL's.

Yea, we want to go down there in June.
But our local meet would consist of only 3 cars.
Maybe drive up to MN for a meet and then head down in June.

haha swoosh you read my mind, definitely hoping to make it down to KS for the national meet and hit up a local meet around here. Gotta check out what a PnP'd + J&R ECU TL is like It'd be nice to get to know some people with modd'd TLs and who have worked on them to help with installs etc.

i might have couple more mods if everything goes according to plans

but you will see heavily modded cars here in the KS meet

besides Steven Bell does a great job of organizing everything....

Sorry guys. This is going to be off topic to your subject, but it's the only
Iowa thread I see active. Does anyone know if any golf courses are open in Iowa? Me and the gf are going to take a trip this weekend to play some golf.

Whats up nate, I think some are opening this week. You could try giving a call to a few in the DSM area or check out their sites.

I've played at Wakonda and Blank, they are decent.

I'm planning on attending the meet in KC as well. We'll probably be leaving that Friday morning. If you guys are leaving at the same time we could always meet up in Iowa, and you could travel down with us. Just let me know...

Thanks for the offer MN07TLS, it'd be nice to caravan down with more than just Jungy and myself lol. But I won't be able to go down on Friday due to work, it will probably be Saturday or Sunday.

I would come to Iowa! Lived in Iowa City for ten years, Go Hawks! I live in western Wiscompton now tho. I feel like Rochester would be middle ground for ppl in the cities n Iowa. Des Moines is cool too, only about 4 hours for me. Also, if i can make it to the nationals meet i would be down for meeting up with yall in Iowa as well.

Hey Iowa peeps...thinking about putting together a meet on Sunday, May 20th in Maple Grove, MN. Maybe meeting at Dave & Busters, and then having some lunch.

Any of you guys up for it??

It would be nice to meet you guys and then possibly talk more about the KC Nat'l meet for those thinking about going.

Gen8888,
When are you and jungy leaving to go to the KC meet? I know that there are several going from MN, and maybe a caravan could be set up. Personally, I know that I'm leaving early Friday morning.

I decided to attend my buddy's birthday instead with the fact that I have done absolutely nothing to my car because I am a busy college student.

Everyone have fun and drive safe!

Thats the plan but it may change depending on if my buds have their bday party in KC with other friends or not this weekend then I'll be down on Sat. I should know by mid week.

Do you know if anyone from Minnesota plans on driving through Sunday, I'd like to caravan with them if I don't go down Sat. Thanks.

Late, but another IA guy here with an 09 TL (Cedar Rapids) - Count me in probably if anything happens in the future (Ahhh, if only there were more Acura dealers around, maybe our state wouldn't be so bleak.) I do see quite a few in Iowa City where I work, so they're around. Funny that I see more old Legends in CR than newer stuff though.
Me added makes 4 though right? =p
