WHERE:
Red Robin
18810 E US Highway 40
Independence, MO 64055
(Click for map)

WHEN:
Sunday, April 29th, 9-9:30am, departing around 10am.

WHAT:
A spirited drive in the country. Various twisty roads, several highway stretches, and automotive bliss.

WHO:
Hosted by Kansas City Z Club, many different makes/clubs invited--Z Cars (obviously), NSXs, Ferraris, Vipers, MR2s, BMWs, IS300s, S2000s, etc.

April 29thth marks the third Kansas City "Sunday Drive in the Country" hosted by the Kansas City Z Club. This cruise is actually an encore cruise of the one held on the 8th, so the route will be the same. Hopefully it will stay warmer than the last one! Last year, we had over 40 cars at the meet, ranging from Nissan Z Cars, NSXs, S2000s, BMWs, etc. Last event on the 8th, despite being freezing cold and Easter, we still had nearly 20 cars in attendance.

For those that don't know, this cruise is basically something coordinated by my father, brother, and I who are members of the local Kansas City Z Club, as mentioned above (My pops having an '06 350Z, my brother a '94 Twin Turbo Z and '91 hard top NA Z, and myself a '93 Twin Turbo). It will take approximately 3 hours to complete and will consist of lots of twisties for the corner carvers, a couple long highway stints for the high horsepower guys, and a likely photo op for all car enthusiasts who like photos of their cars.

It is reccommended that you show up with a full tank of gas (There is a QT across the street from Red Robin if needed), and a navigator isn't required, but it's not a bad idea to have one if possible. Everyone will be given a copy of the route just in case you get separated from the car in front of you--or if the car in front of you is going the wrong way.
Anywho, we hope to see those who came out last year as well as some new faces this year.

Missed the last drive sadly, so I will definitely make this one.

Sure. Just about everyone is welcome as long as you've got your head on straight and don't plan on driving like a jackass.

Hope to see some of you there!
