Thread: Anyone going to the GP gathering?

about a 0.05% of me being there. you guys do all of these meets dead in the middle of show season and it never works out. you have to do meets in early spring or late fall, weather be damned.

and you can't have it in michigan...

Mi is the Grand Prix Capitol though ...

says who? ZZP?

i'm over that. if you really want a big meet you have to put it dead center in the country, like they used to do at branson.

Might be the most populated area for Grand Prix's now, but that's new.

Everything used to be the KCK/KCMO area, hell...GPG even rented out KCIR back in the late 90's and early 00's and toured Fairfax when the cars were being built.

Plus, hanging out with a bunch of 16 year old hipsters with the same car is lame. Branson was fun because it was full of intelligent people, with clean cars, they had it organized, there were award shows, dinners, sound competitions, etc. Then, after all of that was over...everyone sat outside and got hammered and did burnouts.

And the hotel loved it.

And lastly, if someone was annoying...you could hop in your car with the people that you wanted to hang out with and go do a million other things because: Redneck Vegas.

Far more GPs here then I've seen ANYWHERE...

you don't live anywhere else.

That's one of the reasons why I want to go. See some friends I haven't seen in a while and meet new ones especially in person. LOL

Getting *****

Thanks Zach. Hoping for good weather.

Lmfao navy! Its cause supposedly last year they got kicked out at woodward but there is where his wife works and we wont. But no problem Nick, same thing. It started raining by the time i got there so the meet ended but didn't stop others from meeting up on woodward. Dalton (slammed special edition) was there along with anthony smith with the red coupe. Fun time even though i couldnt make the meet. Nate said he enjoyed it as well!

Yea I left last year after the meet.. This year I'll be hanging around afterwards.

^^^ and Josh was there, my bad. But sounds good! Bring Dan and Brandon along and hopefully Anmar will stop by. Supposed to see him this weekend

I have to see which route to take for E85 stations. Will have extra 15 gallons in my truck Would rather not have to add any 93 if I could.

Not sure if I will leave at 10-12 at thursday night or 2-3 in the friday morning
