    Im was in the traditional car hot an heavy for along time. Then came along rat rods junk rods what ever u call it. So I faded away an fell deaper in love with choppers. They didnt like me as much as I loved them. Went with the Doctors advice an parked the chopper cause kidney failure. Not sure if it was the bike or my body but blood shouldn't be coming from there...lol.... Anyway I built another after the sale of my bike. I live in Il/midwest an Im so fare out the loop about traditional car shows. That its not funny... So is there a website or something you guys could help me with. I just went to Torque Fest an had a great time....

    Uhh........ you're here. THIS is the traditional website you're speaking of.
     
  3. You might try contacting the local Model A (nationals at mafca.com and modelaford.org), Early V8 club (earlyfordv8.org) or hot rod club and see if they have a calendar in their newsletter. From there you might be able to get on the distribution for their newsletter at a reduced rate, especially if they send it out email. It is the pits once you get out of the loop on events. Good luck.

    AA/Fuel-
    Yes, there is a current/active list of Tradition Hot Rod shows (no rat rods) that specifically feature the HAMB friendly traditional hot rods you're look for. First, there is a list here on the HAMB, it's under the thread, Must Attend Car Shows 2017. Here is the link: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/must-attend-shows-2017.1043269/#post-11815109

    However, I'll go a bit further for you and list more here. You couldn't be located in a better geographical location! Many of these GREAT shows are literally out your back door.

    2017
    April 28, 29, 30 Spring Jefferson Swap Meet. Jefferson, WI (just north of you)

    May 5-6 Vintage Torque Fest (you attended and you now know...it's rad!)

    May 20-21 Little Hershey Swap Meet Belvidere, IL (Boone County Fairgrounds)

    June 4th Model A Days, Sharon, IL (on the boarder of IL and WI) This is not a traditional show per say, but a lot of very cool Model A's. Swap meet as well.

    June 10 The S**** Drive. Belvidere, IL (Boone County Fairgrounds)

    June 23 - 25 Back To The 50's St. Paul, MN (Get to this event, it's crazy!!)

    July 6-8 Iola Swap Meet. Iola WI

    July 15-17 Meltdown Drags. Byron, IL (You need to go! Old School vintage drag racing)

    August 5-9 Summer Elkhorn Swap Meet. Elkhorn, WI

    August 11-13 Oshkosh Shakedown, Oshkosh, WI
    August 11-13 Symco Shakedown, Symko, WI

    August 19 Cheaterama! Milwaukee, WI at the Terminal (Get to this show, its awesome!)

    Sept 8-9 Mississippi Mayhem

    Sept 23-25 Fall Jefferson Swap Meet. Jefferson, WI (just North of you)

    October 7 Iron Invasion Woodstock, IL (McHenry County Fairgrounds) This is the sister show to Vintage Torque Fest. John Wells puts on both these shows, so if you enjoyed T.F., you'll have a blast here!

    This list will get you started. Like rusty1 said, check out Independent Syndicate. Lots of great shows listed there.
