    I am stoked about Coolstuff's latest show, The Iron Invasion. It is coming up the weekend of 10/5&6 and will be held at the McHenry, IL County fairgrounds in Woodstock, IL.

    John always puts on a great show. His gate fee is a pitance compared to the entertainment provided.

    I am predicting a HUGE show that will blow out the fences in Woodstock.

    John has invited me to showcase my radical custom 51 Ford. What are you driving?

    See you there!

    I was hoping to have my '51 Merc roadworthy for this show. I just need half a miracle to still make it happen.

    Thanks for the plug Bobwop!
    We have a lot of pre registrations....
    but it is still not too late to send in-
    what do you get?
    well - a DVD in the mail around Christmas, a super cool CHROME Iron INvasion sticker that no one else gets, you get in 30 minutes early.

    I am not sure about Bobwop's assessment of blowing out the fences.
    The grounds themselves are quite large.
    The entry to get INTO the grounds are tight.
    PLEASE arrive early.
    This means BEFORE 9am.
    In fact - if you want to arrive on Friday night - it is OK.
    Please park your car on Friday and either camp out overnight on site or carpool with some buddies back to the hotel.
    This will save some drama on saturday morn.

    I have a question...Ive seen on some flyers its $10 with free car admission...
    When i go to pre-reg its 20$ and then another $10 to camp all weekend...
    Now Im fine with this price and I have no problem with it...Im just trying to make sure Im doing the right dang thing.

    if you pre register for $20 - you get the DVD
    the DVD is normally $15 + $3 shipping
    + you get in 30 minutes early
    + you get an exclusive chrome Iron Invasion sticker that no one else gets

    if you choose to just show up it is $10 - you get no DVD or sticker and you have to wait a bit....
    At Torque Fest this cause some drama - and I had to be kind of rude to several people....
    Bottom line - if you want in early - you pay in advance.
    Dont want to be a jerk - but there are small priveleges for those that help us out....and by pre paying - it helps us out A LOT!

    yes - camping is $10 extra

    I'm hearing lots of interest from the folks in Southern WI. I was at a Cruise Night yesterday and it was buzzing about II.

    Well my friends and I plan on getting there Friday afternoon/evening. I’ll be bringing my (new to me) 54 Ford. I just finished completely rewiring it and I am going to lower it this weekend. Need some pin striping and take care of a couple other small items, then I think I’ll be good to go.
