Upcoming Show! Vintage Torque Fest!

The first weekend of May is a busy one in the world of Midwest hot rods & kustoms. In addition to the Stray Kat 500 in Dewey, OK is the Vintage Torque Fest held in Dubuque, IA. I was lucky enough to attend the first two Vintage Torque Fests and man oh man did I have a blast.



What you need to know about VTF:

• all of the proceeds go to charity, a good one www.helpinghannahsheart.org
• traditional hot rod & kustom car show, other kinds of cars are welcomed but must park in their own areas, the main show area will be pre-65 hot rods & kustoms, no billet, no digital, for a full listing of the requirements click here.
• One of my favorite notes on that page is "Stuffed animals, cry baby dolls, rubber rats, fake food drive in trays, skeletons in passenger seats are not for Vintage Torque Fest."
•   
• Music to include:
  The Afterdarks
  The Alder Kings
  Captain Stab Tuggo
  Concrete Rivals
  Death By Rodeo
  Delilah DeWylde & The Lost Boys
  The Heroine
  Hot Rod Hucksters
  Krank Daddies
  LÁssassins
  Labretta Suede & Motel 6
  Babe Miller and His 10-4′s
  Misery Jackals
  Muddy Udders
  Royal Rhytmaires
  Surf Zombies
  3 On The Tree
  The Von Ehrics
  Dale Watson
  

Here are some of my photos from the first 2 shows:

So, if you can make it to the Vintage Torque Fest you'd better go, you'll probably be sorry you missed it. If anyone has a time machine that I can borrow I would like to hit both shows that weekend.


See you at a show,
