less than 50 days to go.............

 

Ace finkley It will be mine!

 

Did I see on F-book that there will be mini bikes involved? I may be able to afford one of those to cruise on. Let me know the clock is ticking. 47 days........

 

Ill bring my motorized bar stool n gotta get some grudge racing goin!

 

believe i saw that too as long as theyre vintage , awesome idea i'd been wanting to see somethin like this happen ! i was out racin mine around the yard today , i need to do a few things to it yet

 

Haven't had our Lincoln out much since we got the Harley, but we met John at the Chicago car show and he invited us to bring her out to his show. We said we were going to go to some shows this yr and this will be the first one on the agenda. Thanks for the invite John, we are really looking forward to it!!!

 

Is that a vintage bar stool? I have to get working as I don't even have a bike yet. Yet that is. I have a line on one. Hope I can get it running by May. See ya there.

 

Kustomlincolnlady, glad you are coming. We will be there, we have our reservations, and signed up as voluteers.

 

Mr Manno, and I shall be there too!

 

we only hope that you will let you put your amazing ride inside!!! either way we look forward to seeing it in person!!!

 

we dont really publicize the vintage mini bike or vintage go cart aspect of the event........because
1 - there are so many other shows that do this.....
2 - we have so much stuff going on - it just gets kind of buried.
however...this year:
Los Punk Rods are bringin up some mini bikes - seems they wanna take some laps - this will happen BEFORE the cars on Saturday -
Insurance waivers MUST be signed.

 

Only thing vintage on my barstool is me! LOL!

 

Starting on the Art donation this weekend, Hope its good enough
to bring some good money for Hannah.

This may sound like a silly request being on this board, but is there anyone out there that is doing the Friday night cruise to Bluff Lake that may be willing to let my 10 year old son ride along in an appropriate car for Torquefest? I haven't had him around this stuff for very long and it looks like my ride is a ways off yet. The oldest thing he has ridden in is my MG Midget. Let me know I would appreciate it and we will meet you at the restaurant in our OT vehicle. Thanks, Doug

 

I'll check with the wife, but we (Dad or I) may have a open spot in one of our rides.

 

That would be great. Thanks

 

This makes me happy!!!! finally get to hook up, been way to long!

 

we will do that John!! Thanks again. but since it is our only mode of transportation we will have to set it free at night LOL

 

Sound cool any more info thanks
