Vintage Torque Fest Pre Party Jan 21-22-23

Hey - if there are any guys that live out in Iowa or western IL and wanna come over to the Pre Reg party we are having in conjunction with the Quad City Hot Rod show - please let me know!

The Hot Rod show is small - but in the Quad Cities - what else are you doing that weekend?
Anyway - in an attempt to get some fresh faces through the door - they have let Vintage Torque have the back hall.

So we will be having our own little party in the back there - so if anyone wants to bring any cars/bikes in - please email me and let me know!

We will be showing vintage drag racing on the big screen there all weekend and have several different monitors set up around the perimeter of the hall so that people can see the different stuff we have going on. Some will be playing old movies, others Vintage Torque clips, and others scenes from Torque Fest 2010.
Bands will be

BTT

I'll be there but it will probably be too cold to drive the convertible since I don't have a top (yet)! I'll see if I can get some more guys from the Cedar Rapids area to go.

 

cmon people - what else are you doing in the middle of the winter - you may as well come out and have some fun and look at some good old drag racing and listen to some good music -

AND

Whitey Morgan is playing at the RIBCO (about 4 minutes down the street) on Friday night

so

come to the show after work - then close down the car show and we can all go over to see Whitey bring some good old honky tonk to the Quad Cities!

 

I'm gonna be there!!!!! Looking forward to it! Sinclair still planning to be there?

 

Sinclair says it depends on the weather.........

 

I'm thinking about coming out, heck of a drive, but what else do I have to do on a weekend in January?

 

Travis if you come all the way over here - you can crash on my coach!

 

Weather schmeather! He's from Minnesota- a winter wonderland! LOL He should have no problems unless it's icy.

 

Next Weekend!

 

I can't make it up, my trans project has run over budget so the travelling money is gone, hope you have a great time. See ya at the KC WoW!

 

KC Wow afterparty is gonna be crazy.........
Savage 7
Big Iron
AND
Federation of Horsepower!!!!!

 

Want to get registered for the torque fest at the show! What's a guy gotta do to get in? Should have the falcon back on the road shortly. Just got it fired up this weekend. Just to let anyone know if your in the Fulton area and need anything, I'm at my shop full time now.

 

is you coach ok with someone crashing on him - hopefully you couch can handle a couple of hotrodders - haha
I will be there and Big Al says she cant wait -are the derby girls gonna be there ??

 

YES - we will have registration for Torque Fest at the Pre Party.

We will also have the entry tickets for the Friday night Drive In Theater double feature available as well.

Torque Fest Pre Entry guarantees you a spot at the after party at the drive in on Sat night. You also get a DVD when it comes out!
What a deal..............
the DVDs sells for $15 + $3 shipping

so

you can look at it like you are getting a free dvd by pre registering - better than getting that 54th black shirt that you will only wear 2 times a year!

 

Hey all you people in the region - we are gonna start invading the shiny side of the south hall now!
We have just added a car that some of ya'll have seen on a certain show on History Channel.

I gotta go pick it up - and there will be a really nice '31 with flathead there as well now!

Nice!

What else are you doing this weekend?
come on out..........

 

I'm soo there.
Is it ok to Pre-Register without a car in mind?

Jeff

 

YES - we are there to accept pre registering - this way you are GUARANTEED a spot at the Drive in on April 30

we will also have pre sale tix for the 29th


the 29th is open to ALL classic cars

We set up the PA yesterday - sounds great


Magnetos play Friday night

Brains Brains Brains play Friday night (this is Afterdarks former drummer TONY band)

 

Your going to have your very own Suede Palace.

I also found a link to where Whitey Morgan will be playing after the car shoe on Friday:
http://ribco.com/index.aspx

We are think of coming Friday night for the pre party and then Whitey Morgan @ RIBCO.
It will be a late night for sure.

I can't wait.

Jeff

 

The wife and I are coming down on sunday to pick up fliers for torquefest, hope we dont get lost.

Brad

 

Wish I could have been there!

 

I had a great time. I am glad I made it this year. I even started a collection of ToddJ art now.

 

...anybody got pics?

 

Dang, you too? Super nice guy and kick ass art. Wife and I had a good time, even if the shiny show was lame as hell, We spent most of our time talking to John and Todd. Cant wait for torquefest!

Brad

 

I have not uploaded any images of the cars yet - will do it later - I gotto go to work
