Official Kansas City Area Meet and Greet Thread--with BBQ

*Dan Whitaker* · 10-18-2010, 08:50 AM

I wish I would have been there. We had to have our 17 year old cat put to sleep

The vet said it was either a brain tumor or a stroke. She couldn't walk. Her head was tilted to one side.

It definitely was a good time. The food was great as well. Always nice to finally meet more members from the board. You guys have the best Gen 1 rigs around town. I see Gen 1's all the time but none are ever set up to that degree. And a 5.0 Gen One is rare as is, so I'm glad I got to finally see one in person. Hopefully we can do this again soon and get more members out next time. I never thought I'd be the only one there with a Gen two or the lowest sitting truck hahha

AGGGHHHH!!! I can't believe I missed this!!! I was sitting on my ass all day yesterday and was bored out of my mind!

Also, who's Explorer is that in the last picture? I think I've saw it in Leavenworth at Home Depot a few weeks ago?

Edit: If there is ever another meet, could someone send my a PM please

I'd like to meet a few more gearheads.

Thanks Eric

I'm surprised I haven't seen it around much? He lives in OP and I am always working somewhere out there, guess I need to open my eyes a little more.

Judging from the pics, most of you are off-roaders and may pass on this. I have been thinking of a get together within the next few weeks at either KCIR or Heartland Park to just watch? Work was much to slow for me to afford any go fast goodies so I don't care to run, unless I get challenged

TekMan05 · 10-20-2010, 02:19 AM

LOL yeah it was a good meet. I was the only Gen 2 out there and the lowest sitting truck. Limited , I'll be trying to head out that way to KCIR sometime next month but I won't be going in the Explorer to race. If you want you could race against the GT.

*jakebrake* · 10-20-2010, 08:19 AM

one thing is for sure about that big blue you wont miss it, it's big loud and unusual! lol

I have a couple more things to do this winter and a re-dyno then just for the know plan on making a run at KCIR. But I work just up the street from there so let me know if you go and ill hit it up!

Guess I should post up my slacker reason for not showing up, ended up having to work but guess it works out since its more gas money for SMORR.

Limited surprised I have yet to see your Explorer driving around since theres only so many Explorers in this town lol.

I know all about seeing Jakes truck not being missed since the day I saw him driving down santa fe.

P.S. Jake the guys at CHUX have no idea what limit straps are lol.

*jakebrake* · 10-21-2010, 08:19 AM

I pretty much take the second Gardner exit because I live off of 183rd St. Don't head through town much unless I'm going for food
