On October 1 the Vintage Torque staff and volunteers will be bringing another exciting event that caters to the traditional builders and backyard enthusiasts who break knuckles and bust their bodies to bring their automotive dreams to life. The show kicks off at the Woodstock Harley Davidson dealership on Friday around 5pm. Free food, bonfire, and Johnny Lightning and the Thunder will be rocking into the night. Then, Saturday at 8:00 a.m. Iron Invasion opens to the public. Head to McHenry County Fairgrounds for a day of grease, gas, and steel. The fairgrounds is located at 1050 Country Club Rd, Woodstock, IL 60098. (1 mile north of route 14 on route 47. The fairgrounds are next to 975 Country Club Road. When you see McDonalds, Jewel Osco, and Panera Bread, turn east at Country Club Rd, come to the furthest gate right across from 1050 Country Club Road.) “Iron Invasion hopes to continue in the footsteps of those who have paved the path of tradition. Join us in a celebration of good people, good music, and maybe a little gear grinding in Woodstock, Illinois.” Remember - ALL cars and cycles are a part of the show, but there is segregated parking on site. This will be an event designed for one purpose–to have fun and raise money for kids with congenital heart defects. Gate proceeds go directly to Helping Hannah's Heart Foundation - a 501(c)3 dedicated to helping family's with children suffering from congenital heart defects. The atmosphere is laid back and the rides here are driven. Only $10 when you purchase advance tickets ($15 day of show). NO CHARGE to show your ride. Everyone pays the same entry fee. Affordable food and beverages will be on site as well. For a full schedule of events be sure to check out www.ironinvasion.com This is definitely THE season ending bash, so join us Rain or Shine at the McHenry County Fairgrounds in Woodstock IL. Just when you thought car shows died with Summer–be a part of the Invasion and get your rods and kustoms to Woodstock!
