Tour Route for 2008
The thirteenth MotorIoway 1000 will gather in Coralville on Sunday, September 21. We will hit the road Monday morning.
     Our Registration form works for either the MotorIoway 500, 1000 or both and is open to all pre-1983 cars, trucks and motorcycles. Just check the correct box(es) at the top of the page. Once again we are "holding the line" on fees, so the non-refundable $50 Entry Fee reserves your space in the 500, and $100 covers entry for the 1000. Remember, only those who have registered will receive the official hotel list.
