Event Coverage Official Vintage Torque Fest Thread May 3-4, 2013

we are hoping to have trailer parking at the National Guard parking lot which is about 1/4 mile up the road on Old Highway 20.
We are not naive to the fact that trailers will be brought into the Dubuque area....
but we just dont want them on site.

 

I am not sure we can handle 2 east coast guys going crazy on the track with minibikes............
gotta keep an eye on you man!

 

Cant wait for May this is the closest event for me, I've gone the past 2 years gets better every year just wish i could get my roadster done in time!

 

He is alot tammer then me john,unless he gets to ,to much drinking then hes as good as me.

 

counting down the days , need to do a few things to the roadster , just finished up a budys camper , a few mods to the mini bike ! bring on may

 

gonna make up an 8 page program that will be distributed free to the public
We will get 2-3,000 of these printed.
If anyone wants ad space let us know.

vintagetorque@gmail.com

these will be going to print around the 15th of April, but we are already working on the layout and design

I just booked the last 2 bed room at the Super 8 for the weekend. There really aren't many rooms left in town................. Now to get the car drivable. LOL I'm looking forward to this show. It'll be my first time there.

 

You won't be disappointed! This will be my 2nd!

 

Well dudes if i can buy a radiator in time. because my fan flew through my old one in my 54 chevy. i will definitely try and go

 

I may have an extra room for Friday and Saturday nights. Two beds PM me and I will see if I can swap them to you. I already booked them non refundable so.....?
