Des Moines WWGTG July 23rd through July 25th

Found this on another forum talking about a place where cars from classic to new meet up on Friday nights! This was from last year though!
Hardees
6304 SW 9th
Des Moines

Anybody that lives in the area possibly be able to check this out on a Friday?

There is also another drive in style resturant not Sonic that has cars there on Sat nights I guess as well. I can not remember that name of it though  :E: I will check around some more
 
The first post has been updated with new information> More to come, stay tuned............
 
For those that do not wish to go on the train ride I found information on the Blank Park Zoo. It is open Sat from 10-5 cost is
Children (2 years and under) - Free   
Children (3 ? 12 years) - $5.95
Adults (13 ? 64 years) - $10.95
Senior Citizens (65+ years) - $8.95

And if you bring a group (20+) the discounted rates are
Children (2 years and under) - Free
Children (3 ? 12 years) - $4.00
Adults (13? 64 years) - $8.00
Senior Citizens (65+ years) - $6.00
The link to the Zoo is http://www.blankparkzoo.com/en/admissions_amp_hours/

Adventreland is also an option for Saturday for the non train riders. Prices are as follows
Regular (10yrs +)
Admission Price At Gate $35.00 Internet Only (4yrs+) $30.00 Child (4-9yrs)
Admission Price At Gate $30.00 Seniors (65yrs +)
Admission Price At Gate $30.00 Second Day (Must Be Purchased at the Gate) What's This? $20.00 Special Needs (such as: being pregnant or wearing a cast)
(Must Be PurchasGroup Discounts are available at Adventureland for groups of 15 or more

(Tickets are required for anyone 4 years and older, children 3 years and under are free.)

Our regular group rates available all season are :

$26.00 per person for groups of 15-49 people (all attending the same day) ed at Gate) $23.00 Parking Fee (Per Vehicle) $5.00 Children age 3 or younger FREE
The website is http://www.adventurelandpark.com/buy-tickets/group-discount/

Both of these open at 10am so it would work well with the people not going on the train ride!

 
So how are the people attending modding abilities??? I have a few things I would like to do to my Av the main one being putting all blue lights (leds I believe) behind my dash and temp controls! I am terrible at wiring so I would need some help with this. I would also like to do the all 4 on hi mod again wiring is not my strong area!
 
Also as an option with the waterpark you can do this after the train ride also if you wish to do both! The Zoo would be cutting it close with closing at 5. Butch thinks the train ride should be over around 3.
 
I can do the all 4 mod for ya, but I'm not about to mess with your cluster!  For the blue bulbs that is.

i can work on the camping reservations but i need a firm count as I may have to pay up front. If we have a large group of campers we can reserve a turn around type area just for us but its $252 per night. Otherwise for single electric hook up sites its $18/night, tent camping is cheaper and a tent can be put on with an electric/camper hook up so some people could share if tent camping. So let me know ASAP so i can get it done. My email is the best way to contact...    osteodocjj@hotmail.com
 
Just a suggestion....Adventureland is pretty big and really deserves a full day probably.  so make your choices appropriately i guess. (y)
 
Question: How many spaces are included in the $252 per night?
 
Just got off the phone with lady and the tin can and string, reservations made at the Days Inn

Alright yall got some info on some Cruise in's for Fri and Sat night! We can do some both nights or one night makes no Dif to me! I will be bringing our GPS! Lame portable one since I have not gotten my new deck yet oh well it works for now!
Here is what I got!

Friday Night
Ankeny Diner 133 SE Delaware in Ankeny this one is new.
Hardee's SW 9th and ArmyPost Rd on Friday, this one is 18 years and still going.

Saturday Night
Plaza Lanes - Martin Luther King Jr and Euclid Ave
Porky's on NE 14th just north of  interstate 80 on Saturday.
Maid Rite on 141 on Saturday this one is new.
These came courtesy of a contact point with a classic car club in Des Moines! I think the Hardees one would be sick if we are not to busy modding Friday night!
 
If it's OK with you I will add these to the first post as extra or alternate things to do. As we fill these threads up it will be much easier to track if all of the information is included in the first post.......

Thanks for finding these, we love things like this!

Yea that is fine with me! I am heading to one (atleast) Sat night for sure and hopefully I can get some help with the mods I am not able to do myself and will not be able to get to one Friday night otherwise I thinkn the Hardees one would be great 18 years and running that is crazy!
