    There is an upcoming event in Kansas City that would be a fun event for the entire club and a good way to get out and drive the city in our cars. The money supports paying the health care bills of a true car enthusiast that incurred a tragic accident and had little insurance to support the constant care that was required after the crash.

    Event:
    This years Drive to Survive Event will be a traveling Poker Run across greater Kansas City. Poker players will meet at House of Boost in Lenexa for a morning Car Show and Dyno Day, where players will pick up the details of the Poker Run route and the stops they need to make. An open car show will also be held at House of Boost during the day for those that would like to donate ($25 per vehicle), but not participate in the actual Poker Run itself. House of Boost will be accepting donations for single-run dyno pulls all day (2WD cars and trucks only). Coffee and light breakfast snacks will be served at no cost in the morning, and donations will be accepted for grilled hamburgers and water in the afternoon as players make it back for the last stop. Poker Run Rules: For $25 a hand, players will be dealt a Poker card at each of the 7 designated stops, along with a score card which will be filled in as they progress along the route. The dealt card will be recorded on each players score card at each stop by one of the organizers, and the winner of the event is the player that makes the best five (5) card Poker hand at the end of the event (determined by standard Poker hand rankings). If a duplicate card is drawn at one of the stops, a different card will have to be drawn. At the last stop (back to House of Boost), as long as you have completed at least 5 of the 7 stops, you will be allowed to draw up to two (2) more cards in order to create a better 5-card Poker hand. Extra cards will cost $20 each. The Poker Run winner will get to take home the $500 pot! If there is a tie for the best hand, players will draw another card and the highest card will win. Keep in mind, that although this is a run, this is not a race and there are no prizes for speedit doesnt matter who is first to complete all the stops. Our goal is to have fun, connect with the automotive community, raise much-needed funds for the family, and of course, to play some Poker! House of Boost and the Poker Run organizers will not be held responsible for any participants damage to property or vehicles, personal injury, or traffic violations.
