Hey guys, I'll be working the event for Holley @ the Heartland National's. If anyone on here will be spectating/participating, come by and say hello. Should be a good time

It will be a fantastic weekend. The Heartland Nationals in Des Moines is one of my favorite events. Great venue....usually hotter than hell though!

Yes, last year it was very humid, and a severe thunderstorm ripped through Saturday. I met lots of cool people, and actually tuned a car while I was there. I can't wait for the event to roll back around.

Try to make it every year . They only allow cars up to 1972 so mine just sits while I watch everyone else play.

It's looking like I will be probably be able to make it to the show. Unfortunately, I won't be cruising up in my truck this year though. But it should be a lot of fun and the venue is awesome.

It was over between the main vendor building and the swapmeet on the west side of the fairgrounds kind of straight across from the rad rides trailer

I watched you toady, your car is pretty nice. The guys watching the gate wouldnt let me in to get any rides tho today, not sure why they do that. Same thing happend last year it seems if they dont like the look of you they wont let you past the entrance, they did the same to my wife last year.

I was there on Friday. I was the guy in the green cutoff, in the pits crawling all around your car and the 64' GTO next to you. Im a big fan of the 1st gen A-body, especially the BOP variety. Does the guy that auto-x's the greenish 64' GTO post on here at all? Him and his son were great fellas to talk to.

Its strange. At first they wouldnt let me in. Then I told them I was going to go sign the waiver to ride along and they let me in?? So I stayed for a while and checked out the cars.

We were there all weekend. Booth was right next to LMC Truck, and directly behind us was the swap meet area.

I was there with my Holley equipped Olds on the autocross.

I was looking forward to seeing your car up close after looking at build pictures, but similar to what silvermonte described, they weren't letting spectators into the autocross pits to look at the cars up close. I was only able to be at the show on Saturday, so this was fairly disappointing.

I get why having the pits crowded can be dangerous or inconvenient, but some of the cars I wanted to see the most were on lockdown all day in the corral. Hopefully they can come up with a better solution. I can't say I plan to drive back out there to only see some of the cars that highlight the show through a fence.

We did get to see the Holley Terminator test stand in action, very impressive EFI setup. It was fun talking to the Holley crew there!
