Event Coverage IRON INVASION Oct. 5&6, who's participating and whatcha driving?

ha...no - John has BEGGED for you to bring the Mystery Merc!!!
I have never seen it in person!!!!
I cant wait!

 

Ha Ha! Thank you John! I am really honored to have the Merc at your show, it looks like it is going to be a lot of fun and there will be some great looking cars there that I am looking forward to see!

 

I am anxious to see the Mystery Merc

 

I am doing some rework/detailing on the grill, it never was quite right, so after John asked me to have it in the show, I got motivated to get on that!
I really want to check out your sectioned Barris custom too, I have not seen that one before. I look forward to meeting you.

 

Smokey,...lookin forward to checkin out your "new" Ford, looks like a good one, sounds like a good plan.

 

We're going, but a little nervous. I'll be driving in with that Sock F'er dude...

 

I am looking forward to the Swap Meet and all the great folks from the Tin Butchers.

 

dont be nervous Jay....we are rolling out with you guys also....iam sure someone from our crew will take one for the team!

 

The little lady and I are bringing the '53 Studebaker. October 06th is our 38th wedding anniversary. Couldn't think of a better way or place to spend it!!

STUDEDUDE

 

I'm volunteering on Friday evening.....you should too.

I'm taking the 62 Ranch Wagon....cant wait!!

 

you guys from Indy are the BEST!

 

hell yah...someone's 'taking it'

 

I thought you sock fuckers could do it yourself?

 

wow - that is one cool woman you have there! Hopefully this is one to remember!

 

INDEED!
We truly appreciate all the volunteers - be on the lookout for the mass email - we need you to get back to us and let us know that you are in fact going to be able to fill your shift.
At TOrque Fest this last year we had about 30 people drop their shift....
all within the week of the show.
So PLEASE let us know if you are going to be there or not.
Thanks!

 

i'll be there (hopefully) with the one on the right:

 

See what I mean?

Glad to hear you've got my back, Joe! Strength in numbers!

 

Just got my registration packet. Nice work John!

 

Thanks - we mailed them over the course of 3 days - and we are still not done. We have about 220 pre registrations now and we will be accepting pre reg until Sept 25 - so please get the pre reg info info and payment to us very soon!

 

Our little gang of 6 grey beards from Detroit will be there in a mini van
Spending the cash and spending the weekend...maybe we'll all come home in new wheels.

 

now THAT is a positive attitude there!!!
I like it!
Hope to meet ya there.

 

Roadster 1927 will be there and the 40 ponti with wife and friends Gary

 

trying to figure out the final numbers for the pre registration - looks like it will be at least 225!
THIS IS AMAZING!
Thanks so much to everyone whoe took the time to actually send the $$$ in early.
We truly appreciate it.
Based on this pre reg # we suspect we will get at least 600 cars at the event.
We are basing this on the Torque Fest numbers.
We had almost exactly the same pre reg for Torque Fest II and we had a total of about 600 qualifying cars and another 100-125 non qualifying cars.
So that was a great turn out - and we hope to get the same for Iron Invasion on Oct 5/6.
I have been talking to more and more people who are coming in on Friday night.
This is WAY cool.
Anything we can do to alleviate the pressure on Rt. 47 will be a good thing!
Come early and stay late is the motto!
Seeya soon. We will post the official total here very soon.
Thanks again.

 

We are heading up in a 52' Lincoln Capri and 2 1931 Tudors. Anyone know of availible rooms????

 

Please go to Crystal Lake, Harvard, or McHenry for the nearest hotels.

 

planning on it, driving the T up

 

hey - some more Indy people coming up - love it - wish I could hit the James Dean run this weekend - but gotta go do some drag racing!
Cordova!!!

Bob your the only guy thats not nice! To bad for you I cant make it !

Ed - you were the star of the Vintage Torque Fest DVD - thanks for coming out - perhaps you can make Iron Invasion next year!?
