Iron Invasion rainy Success!
Iron Invasion 2013 was a success despite the rain! Everyone saw the forecast of 80% chance of rain, but showed up anyway. These rides are driven rain or shine, and they did get to drive in both this year! The downpour that lasted about an hour hit around 12:45pm and lasted about 45 minutes. After that it was sunshine and smiles all around. The number of entries that were on site this year was 854. This is
TOTAL entries, meaning friends parking (where muscle cars park), motorcycles, hot rods and kustoms. The breakdown was 160 cars in the friends section, 93 vintage cycles, and 601 rods
and customs.

Pistons, Oliver Built Group, The Aces, Wreckless Chicago, Piston Jammers, Instigators, Ton Up Club, Romin’ Chariettes, Blackwalls, Chrome Czars and others. The feature cars that were in the buildings came all the way from Washington state. The bands, pin up contest, vendors, artists, and all the spectators that made the show special are waiting to hear what the dates will be for 2014. Stay tuned to www.ironinvasion.com for details.

Rebel Without a Cause '40 Ford to be shown at Iron Invasion!
Chris Ito has accepted the invitation to bring his '40 Ford to the Iron Invasion.
Yes, this IS the same '40 Ford that was in James Dean's Rebel Without A Cause!
We appreciate all the people that are striving to make the Iron Invasion the must attend season ending car bash in the Chicago area.
If you have something historically significant and want to have a special indoor spot - please let us know soon - we are quickly running out of spots for the feature cars.
The above photos show the '40 in a screen capture form the actual movie.
The next picture shows the car as it was in 1949 with the original owner.
The last picture shows the car as it sits now - and it sits pretty. We love it.
email: vintagetorque@gmail.com if you have something in your barn or garage that would be a nice addition to the Iron Invasion.

Iron Invasion Pre Party Announced!
Looks as thought the pre party for Iron Invasion will actually take place AT the grounds!
We have got the OK from McHenry County Fairgrounds to have a get together the night before the show.
We will have at least one band - details on that to be announced shortly.
Plans are for a shop tour at Hopperstad Customs from 430 pm to 600 pm
then we will cruise en masse to the fairgrounds.
Of course times and route info will likely change between now and then - but this is a great start to what we hope will be a great event.
Thanks to Kerry and Sam from the Tin Butchers for helping getting the ball rolling on this.

IRON INVASION - get your promo material at the Pile Up
Yes - we know - it is over a year away.....but we really hope you will spread the word.....
do us a favor and go LIKE the facebook page
What else are you gonna be doing next October.....???
Come on out to Woodstock and have a good time.
We will be distributing promo material at the Pile Up in Decatur - so we hope you will grab some and take it back home with ya and look forward to it next year.
some have asked us - what is setting this show apart from any others?
well.....
not every show has a Do It Yourself Stunt Show.........
that is right - YOU can go out in the stunt area and rip it up with some power slides or donuts and get the crowd into it.
Another thing that not every show has is the Retro Reels Cinema - a great chance to go and check out some vintage footage from the past.
And we will bring you some good music that is not seen at just every show.......

Nothing is Free? Price REDUCTION for Vintage Torque Fest & Iron Invasion
$10 for entire Weekend at Vintage Torque Fest & Iron Invasion. Vehicles Free with spectator admission.
We know there can be no car show without cars......In today’s economic times we understand how hard it is to get the rides out on the road.....and the gas $$$ that it takes to get the rides to the different events. We understand because we are car guys on a limited budget as well. We "get it".
Prices for BOTH Vintage Torque Fest and Iron Invasion will be $10.
This admission gets you all the entertainment for the entire weekend! We feel the amount of entertainment that we provide at our events warrants a $10 price tag....we hope u feel the same.
Vehicle entry will be free with paid admission. Entry requirements must still be met to be able to get your ride into certain sections of the show. This will be clarified on the site. We hope you realize we appreciate your support and hope that u will continue to spread the word at shows....at work....to neighbors...to fellow gearheads and FUTURE gearheads.
