Ok. Here are the routes to Kansas City: via St. Louis or via Des Moines!?






You guys can chime in and pick one. To me most important are "road conditions". Anyone knows which highway is better?

I think if u take I55 south to I72 west all the way to I35 south into Kansas. I've taken that route many times with my semi. The scenery is nice and the roads are good. It's about 30-40 miles less than going any other way. I think it's the best way.

I'm going to email everyone that has registered with this information as well to ensure you all see it.

Also please fill out a Mod sheet for your car (even if you have no or very few mods) as this also let's people know who's car it is. Please bring at least 2 copies of this sheet with you. One should be placed on the car dash so everyone can see it. The second sheet may be needed by the judges to assist in Best in Show judging.

The mod sheet below is basically the one I will be using during the meet. If your mod was self installed by someone else then give them some props like Steven Bell will be putting (SI by Buda or swoosh) next to several of his mods. The SI/DI has no bearing on judging, just info for people looking at your car so you they don't have to ask if you did the install or not.

Hey guys, all and all it was a pretty easy drive down, you'll hit a little construction twice but hopefully won't slow you down too much. Have a safe drive down....
