Event Coverage OFFICIAL Vintage Torque Fest 2014 Thread May 2-4 Dubuque Iowa

I thought the Sunshine was a good place

 

The truck keeps calling me from under the cover......less than 2 months.

 

I suppose I will probably go again this year. Maybe I will even volunteer.

 

Only if Miss Retro Rewind will allow it eh?

 

That's Miss Retrotastic, and she will be there as well. Someday I may even bring a hot rod.

 

She gave me a hot rod! Jus sayin!!

 

I am ready
sadsack

 

Easy now, I would hate to have to rough you up, ya crazy clown.

 

Hope I can go. It would be my first time. The 51 definitely won't be ready

 

You new guys wont be sorry! Great cars great people great entertainment what else could you want? Crazy clown will be back causin trouble!

 

What hotels do you guys like that have been there? I see the country inn has rooms and looks close.
Staying Friday and Saturday night.

 

Is it May yet?

 

Gettin closer!

 

You probably won't find a bad motel room in Dubuque. Country Inn is nice and by restaurants. About 7 mins from the fairgrounds.

Thanks, that's actually where i just booked our reservations...some already sold out.

 

If you like entertainment stay late n check out the bands n wildlife!

 

we are starting to get more and more of the completed art turned in! This year the Deuce Art Show and Auction is going to be top notch! Thanks for all the artists help. For those that don't know we do have to return to Boston this year to determine the next step for Hannah - our 7 year old daughter. Right now she is scheduled for surgery, but we are hoping that we can hold off - even if it is just 6 months. To be clear - the gate proceeds go to pay for the show, and anything we have left over is given to other families that have children with heart problems. Last year we were able to give $5000 to The Essl Family.
We appreciate all the people that have helped out over the years and we hope to be able to continue the shows for years to come. But without your support, they will wither and die. Be there rain or shine. Thanks! Here is a panel by Topes Thompson! The art auction proceeds go to Hannah Wells Medical Trust. Please come to the show and bid! Seeya there.

New guy hell im one of the best supporters lol gunna hafta find a newer newbie! I think the youngest guy there should buy!

CAR CLUBS! If you want to recognize your fellow gearheads, we have club picks around 5pm on Stage 2. Last year we had many different picks from all over and we appreciate the time and energy that goes into making the awards. The Poor Boys Detroit are world famous for their awards, and this is what we are trying to recreate. The only difference is that each club has their own unique spin on the awards. Every year I look forward to the Rat Bastards award because they always seem to pick a sci fi movie theme and incorporate it into the club pick. Details can be found at the Volunteer booth across from Stage 1 at the top of the grandstands.

 

Oh man, I meant new to the Meet & Greet breakfast scene.

I'll pass on the buying but thanks for the offer.
