Kansas City car shows, car races, and car cruises for May 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 2013

All’s I can say is that I hope the weather this weekend is better than last weekend, because we are jam-packed full of car events in Kansas City.  This makes sense, because it’s Mother’s Day weekend, and moms love car stuff.

I’m planning to be at the Nebraska Furniture Mart Friends and Family Car Show on Saturday, because hey, my old truck was somehow printed on the dash plaques and trophies.  I can hardly miss out on an honor like that!  The Basehor Cruise is always a nice place to go on a Friday night.  There’s  a AAA Insurance office up north that’s doing an all-domestic car show.  And there are cruises all over the place.  Also, if you’re a CARB member, you can get into Lakeside Speedway for free on Friday night.

The full schedule of Kansas City-area car shows, cruises, and races for May 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 is listed below.

  2. I know that the owner finally put that Stutz back together and drove it during a pre-race event at the Indy 500 a couple of years ago. Other than that, I really haven't heard much.

  3. Hey Craig - not sure if you heard anything about the NKC show but I went by that intersection last night around 7:30 and there was nobody there. I must have gone to the wrong place?

    1. Sorry, Kyle. I couldn't even make it out. I e-mailed North Kansas City,and they told me that the North KC Rotary Club had taken over the 2nd Saturdays Cruise. So I went to their website, and it said something about it starting in May. So I included it on the calendar. I'll have to try and figure out if they're doing it all before I post something about it next month. Thanks.
