Saturday 10/11/14
Start of Redline cruise! ! Good idea to bring your two way radios if you have them. Channel (10 for starters)

10:30 a.m. at Jordan Creek in front of SCHEELS. (101 Jordan Creek Pkwy #4000, West Des Moines, IA 50266) Easiest to meet here since you can't miss the place. Back of the parking lot is probably best. I'll go case the place this weekend to see if there's a more wide open locale to meet in. This is a great area to feed our snakes. We can meet up with other regions at this location.

11:00 a.m. Head to marks workplace Acheson Autoworks (8000 University ave. Clive, IA) for a show and shine with catered food from Jethro's BBQ (Courtesy of Sam Acheson) and enjoy a great shop!

11:30 to 1:30 Meet and greet all while enjoying some BBQ!

1:30 to 5:00 spirited cruise and SHOPPING (get the ladies excited) Saylorville Lake Reservoir/Dam and surrounding areas. Take some great photos and head over to Valley Junction (217 5th St, West Des Moines, IA 50265) for the ladies to do a little shopping. The guys will have fun too!!! Lots of car memorabilia! (UPDATE!!!) Darren, owner of Nostalgic enterprises in Valley Junction has been gracious enough to offer us his corner parking lot for parking our snakes while we shop!!! Address is 617 Railroad. W Des Moines, IA. The place is right across from anderson windows.

5:30 Head to IRENAS Restaurant and Bar. Russian steak house. (2301 Rocklyn Dr, Urbandale, IA 50322). Fantastic food and my favorite beer in the whole world. Baltika 5. They have something for everyone and the prices are very reasonable! Steaks, Chicken, Fish (stuffed grilled salmon) Pork shish-ka-bob etc. This place is almost single handedly responsible for ruining my last diet!! We will have a DVD of our choosing (hopefully home made car DVD) played on their wall sized projector during dinner if we like. We can eat, drink and party till we drop! Or we can swing down to my place right down the street and party there for a while. Bring your swimsuit! I have a Hot Tub!!
This ends day 1 events.


Sunday

9:00 a.m. Breakfast and celebration of our club presidents attendance one day late. Location 5 & DINER. (5015 E University Ave, Pleasant Hill, IA 50327) Quaint little 50's themed joint with good food.

10:30 12:30 fall cruise (I'll lead the way!! We will end this portion of the cruise in Ames)

1:00. Eat lunch (Hickory Park)(1404 S. Duff Ave, Ames, IA 50010)

2:30 to 4:00 (tbd)

4:00 Head over to the Sugar Shack in Altoona. (100 8th St SE, Altoona, IA 50009) Food if you're hungry, ICE CREAM, SHAKES, and MALTS!! Large parking lot for the last show & shine.

End of Redline Cruise 2014 I'M PROOF POSITIVE THAT NOBODY WILL GET OUT OF HERE HUNGRY!!!!

This is the latest most up to date schedule. I will be tweaking this a little mostly for afternoon Sunday and perhaps shifting start/stop times slightly.


Also I'm all about having this be an annual event!! We can always find something fun to do around here!

[Bill Pemberton]

Wish I could be there with you guys, but scheduled a NASA Time Trials Event over a month ago at Heartland Park Topeka. Could not back out since I am instructing also, but looks like we will all have great weather to enjoy the weekend.

Take lots of pics and cool to see some members coming from surrounding Regions!

[jjfne]

We wish you were coming with us Bill, should be a great time!! We will be filming in 4k thanks to go pros new camera.. Will post pic and videos as soon as I can upload... Would love to see some track video and pics...

[Phun70]

Somebody remember to bring a DVD for dinner. I've got nothin. LOL

[jjfne]

I'm working on a DVD!! Nothing special just stuff we did over the summer..

[BlknBlu]

I have this in my arsenal ready to go.



Bruce

[Phun70]

Rofl!!

[V1P3R]

and a Paul Simon song to go along with it playing in your Viper!

[slysnake]

Got a call from a local Iowa member who is going to try and have an Illinois viper guy come with as well. I'd love to see 30 or 40 cars show up to this!!!

My wife and going to be there but it doesn't look like the IL guy will make it. I was suppose to respond here with my T-shirt size but I'm really slow. If you got it when I talked to you on the phone, great, if not then that's OK.

We'll be coming up on Friday night and stay with my daughter in Ankeny. Cars & Coffee still on? Where is it located?

[Phun70]

I've never been to cars & coffee, so I'm not sure where that's held. If you're coming out friday night, give me a call and swing on by my place and hang out for a bit. Your daughter would of course be welcome as well. 515-249-1793. Perhaps we can grab a bite to eat.

[slysnake]

I'll give you a call. Might be kinda late. Hope to get there about 7:30, but might be later. I'm bringing the wife so you never know. She likes to take her time getting ready to go. lol Sorry I couldn't stop by when I came up for that Valley Junction car show. Pretty nice show, there was a beautiful Blue and White GT40 there.

[Phun70]

Ok, 7:30 is no big deal. That's early for us! LOL

[V1P3R]

For those leaving Sat. morning, what is everyone's thought on meeting at the BP, Madison Ave. exit @ 8:00? It sits on the north side of the interstate. Give everyone a change to top off and grab a snack or something. 8:00 will give us plenty of time to get to the meet up point at Scheels.

Thoughts?

[Phun70]

I got the shirts yesterday, and they look absolutely amazing!!! If you didn't pre-order, don't worry. I'll be able to order shirts for you tomorrow and then send them to you in the mail if you so desire.

[BlknBlu]

post a pic of them, should help with sales

Bruce

[Phun70]

Unfortunately they're safe at home, and I'm at work. Everyone will get a good look tomorrow though. The price for them is $25.00 and that's my cost. Unless you want something fancy like the jacket I got my wife. LOL

[Phun70]

Hey SLYSNAKE! If you and the Mrs, stop by tonight, we can make Snake venom and have a few! (if you like adult beverages) And bring your swimsuits and we can hit the hot tub.

[BlknBlu]

Safe travels today, see everyone tomorrow.

Bruce

[HPmopars]

It was a great time and a great bunch of people to hang out with. I can't wait for the next one. Thanks Mark for putting this together. Sorry I couldn't stay to see the vid Saturday night. Maybe it could be hosted somewhere and linked here? Also, I know lots of pix were taken so I look forward to seeing how they came out.
