When it comes to auto events in Iowa, Id say we are known for our love of the classic auto more than the modern import or muscle car. Typical meets are accompanied by stereotypical jean shorts, tall white socks, tucked in tee, and the typical sock hop music. Recently there has been up rising in my area that is…
