New idea for a location. Will fit more people, is well lite, and will have no chance of being bothered by police. The top level of the parking garage on 7th and Grand downtown. Let me know what you think bout this idea. If we do go to this location we will need to go on june 14th instead to avoid being charged unless you guys are cool with paying anywhere from 4-12 dollars which I'd say isn't worth it when we could just hold off another day.

Let me know your opinion.

Thanks,
Zach
 
Little off topic but 5 years ago or so before I was into dsms there was a guy with a fast 2g gsx from Altoona. Is he still around? Think there was a lot of street racing at the time.
 
I know 2 gsx owners in Altoona, not very personally, but we see each other around. What color is the car, cause the 2 I know are black and maroon. I'm doubting the maroon because that is some kid still in high school. There are quiet a few 2g in Altoona but I don't know them and I don't see them on here. One is a silver color, lowered I think, with altezza lights and the 3" muffler.
 
Only red one I know is Splitpi and I don't actually know him, not to mention I don't think he runs in the 10's.
 
is this dsm meet still gonna happen?
i live in des moines and i know where that sonic is
let me know

Alright. We'll try to keep you updated by PMs, but if we get as many people as we're hoping for it'll be almost impossible. Make sure to subscribe to this thread and check on it now and again. As of now it'll be Friday June 13th at an old Sonic on SE 14th St. in Des Moines, IA. If we get too many people to where that location won't work then we'll have to move the date to the day after June 14th and I know a parking garage that we could get into for free and all park on the top level or too.
If you keep checking this thread you'll be updated.

Just alil heads up on the whole sonic thing. a car club im in had a meet there n there wasnt enough room for all of us to park at the sonic. but if u use the lot behind it, in front of the businesses it would work. ### i think at are meet we had close to 15+ cars..LOL

but i also know of a parkin garage that is free to park in, in downtown des moines. but i dont really remember the road it was on ### i followed a friend of mine there to take pics..LOL.
 
I think you are talking about the same garage the twoTSis is talking about. From the looks of things, we only have like 6-7 cars, but I'm still liking the garage just so we are out of sight of the police to avoid harasment. (spelling?)
 
count me and mayb my brother in for the june idea i will be still in scool but could find time off maybe sailervill lake would be a good place to meet on a hot day. any ways ill try to check this as often as i can ### i dont live in ankeny any more.:thumb::thumb:
 
It's happening. Even if no one else goes me and mekal will just post up there for the night LOL
I'll put ya on the list #1-1995GS-T from the looks of the PM you sent me, you'll be going?

How far do you and your bro live? And if everyone wants to cruise to salorville, maybe we should start out at the parking garage on 7th and Grand Ave downtown Des Moines and then after we've all met and talked it up a bit cruise from downtown out to salorville. If that's the case this event would be going on June 14th instead.
Let me know what you guys think though...give me your opinions!

There is a list of who all is going so far. I keep updating the list. So far 15 are attending. Check the list it's post number 24 on this thread.
If it will let me post a picture on here I'll try bringing up a map of what parking garage I'm talking about.


If no one else says anything in response to the parking garage idea I will just plan on the meet being on
SATURDAY JUNE 14TH AT THE TOP OF THE PARKING GARAGE ON 7TH AND GRAND IN DOWNTOWN DES MOINES.

hey i wanna go but no word yet as to yes or no for sure, i just got the car so don't blame me for the wheels
 
Okay. You all seemed fine when I said the Sonic on SE 14th so I'm gunna give you directions from the Sonic to the parking garage.

1) Go NORTH on SE 14th from the Sonic.
(Right if you're driving out of Sonic and facing SE 14th)

2)Follow SE 14th up to Indianola Rd. and take a left on Indianola Rd.
(It's a ways up SE 14th and Indianola Rd. is a diagonal road you can't miss)

3) Follow Indianola Rd. all the way down and you'll end up downtown on 2nd St.

4)Follow 2nd St. to Grand and take a left.

5)Follow Grand to 6th St. and take a right.

6)Follow 6th St. to High and take a left.

7)Follow High to 7th and take a left.

8)The parking garage enterance is immediatly on the left hand side. There are 3 gates at the enterance and a red sign above that says 1N. Take a ticket if the gates are closed and follow the garage all the way to the top. If the gates aren't closed just drive right in.

Be there by 9pm on June 14th 2008.

Anymore questions just let me know. I can give more detailed instructions based on where people are coming from.
 
I might be available that weekend. I have a Dodge Stealth twin turbo and a Mitsu 3000GT VR4. I'm on this board because I helped a guy run his GSX with NASA's roadcourse Time Trial series. I've also been into DSM's since I bought my Stealth seven years ago. I met a local guy that had a wicked fast 2nd gen:

I was into the street scene about that time and know Jeremy really well. The local racing scene was great back then. There were very few idiots, the cops left us alone when we met in parking lots, and the people were a lot of fun. Some really intelligent and fun people back then. It went downhill fast in 2002 or so. Jeremy sold his car and left the scene about that time. I started doing roadcourse events and building cars for that. We still stay in touch and hit the bar occasionally. Maybe I can talk him into coming out for this, but I doubt it. He's pretty much completely out of cars which is too bad considering how talented he was. The guy could tune a piggyback perfectly with no wideband or datalogger. He had the gift.

I should be available unless I'm racing that weekend at MidAmerican Motorplex.
 
what's up? So I got some cars coming with me as well. This is gonna be a good one I can tell. So just wondering. Anybody meeting up before the 14th? Was there something about April 19th? Also, I live in Ames and actually am starting a meet every week next to west hyvee in the big empty parking lot. Anybody interested? My number again 785-393-3632. Call or text me. I'm always cruisen around

I believe you mean the garage is on the right side. On the left is the Ruan building and the Marriot, the parking garage is across the street. I google earthed it just to make sure I wasn't stupid. so either my map is upside down in one place, or I just can't read a map for nothing anymore. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe with the directions you gave, you are traveling West on Grand, that means the garage in on the right side of the street.
 
The directions were some what wrong. It's on the left from High. 7th is a one way street going south. The enterance is on the left hand side going down 7th from High. It's inbetween High and Grand. Marriott is past Grand on the left and the Ruan building is on the right directly across 7th St. from the Marriott.

Check the directions again. This time they are accurate.

I did edit the directions though because they were incorrect. You have to go up to High St. after you get on Grand. Sorry about the mix up everyone.

By the way, if anyone would like to bring parts to this meet and have a small swap meet going on too it could be benifical to all of us.

If anyone has black 2G leather seats I'll be down to work out a trade or throw some cash their way. Let me know!

Thanks,
Zach
