Event Coverage Vintage Torque Fest 2015

For those that don't know.... Vintage Torque Fest returns to Dubuque on May 1 and 2. Hope you can join us.

 

for sure

 

I've been waiting for this thread to make an appearance. It's On.

 

oops - didn't mean to post this twice....and I don't see how to delete one of the images. We had a record turnout last year - best ever. Thanks to all that came out. For those that don't know what our show is about - it a good time for a good cause. Every year we have an adopted family that gets some much needed financial assistance. We focus on familes that have children with congenital heart defects. So, if you wonder WHY we do what we do.... that is it. Thus far we have given away over $10K to families. We hope to double this in the next couple years. We can only do that with your help. It is only $10 to get in to the show and we do NOT charge extra for your car to be a part of the show. Please support this event.

 

Can't wait!

 

from last year VTF. sucks the rear door wasn't shut all the way in the pic.

 

Cant wait. Already have work off. Just gotta book a room. But, sadly, going car-less again.

 

nosed, decked, shaved, frenched, peaked and chopped.

 

Rooms booked.......

 

Just pre-registered. Can't wait.

 

...think the snow will be gone by then?....hope so, maybe better weather comin next week, we are way below normal temps.
...already gettin calls for the swapmeet for T-fest....about 2 months away.

 

Sam - every year people ask that same thing........ we have not had any problems yet.

 

yes - DROVE all the way - I think he said over 8 hours.... But I guess that is nothing to Hot Rod Ed!

 

Verno - thanks so much for pre registering. Many don't realize that the pre reg $$$ gets spent immediately on advertising for the show. If we don't advertise, no one shows up.....and the show dies. So THANK YOU for taking the time to actually help us out. Please remember that those that pre reg get a free poster and save $5 off the weekend and $2 coupon off something at the official merch booth. And spectators can purchase in advance as well. Just click on Register at the official website.

 

I'm Pre-Registered. and signed up to volunteer. hopefully I'll have the Straight 8 rebuilt by then to make the 220+ one way trip......if not, you know I'll be there anyway.

 

OH.....yessssssss

 

See you all there. In the 50 if all goes right. I need to get it converted to 12v and closer to mother earth. Supposed to warm up next week into the 40s.

 

just drive it the way it is......

 

so.... BEFORE we even started Torque Fest and we were telling people about the ideas we had about the show..... People would say - OH MAN that is going to be SO cool to get out there with my pals and hit the track. We only allowed single car laps for the first five years of Torque Fest. This year things are changing.....for the better. We have been given permission by the fairgrounds for up to 8 cars on the track at the same time. So if your car club or close friends want to hit the track together, they will be allowed to do so. This is a grand experiment and we are confident that everyone will respect the rules and guidelines that will be laid down. Everyone has been great for the past 5 years and since there have been no incidents, we have been given this privilege by the Dubuque County Fairgrounds and we cant thank them enough. This is going to be a great time. Details and schedule for this to happen will be announced when the show time gets closer.

 

nice one from last year

 

yes - we have bands...... good ones. They come from all over the country. You should attend.

 

Holy crap, the shack shakers are amazing

 

...lots to see at T-fest...

 

Nick Holliday captured this image on the cruise we have to Field of Dreams. This takes place Friday around 230-3pm Last year we had a strong showing and we expect even more this year.
