VIDEO from Vintage Torque Fest 2011



OK - so here ya go - we FINALLY have some video footage from Torque Fest 2011..... (please note the DVD will be much better quality than the Youtube clip)
if you have not seen or heard about the show - or if you know others who do not know about the show.....
PLEASE spread this link around to them!

I think if people see the fun we are having at this event - then more people will show up and we need to make this an annual tradition.....
this can only happen if 2012 is successful.
So we hope you will come out May 4/5 2012 to Maquoketa IA

Future of Torque Fest.......



Vintage Torque Fest hopes to come to Maquoketa again in 2012. However, there are other offers on the table that must be considered. Vintage Torque Fest will be making the final decision within two weeks. Vintage Torque Fest and Helping Hannah's Heart Foundation want to thank everyone for the support and kind words received over the past month. We know that Vintage Torque Fest will be a fun filled event for auto enthusiasts and general public for years to come, but have to consider the best options available that will help benefit Helping Hannah's Heart Foundation. The ultimate goal of Vintage Torque Fest is to fund this foundation, in order to help families in Eastern Iowa that have children with heart problems. Anyone with suggestions can contact John Wells at vintagetorque@gmail.com
