Vintage Torque Fest is a 2 day event, but I was only able to get there Saturday. Besides the cars on display there was track action with in the "Dirty Drags" and inside many cars on display have been featured in big name magazines, and then of course there was the Pin-Up Contest..!! There was a swap meet area for those folks looking to find parts to finish (or start) their own projects and at noon there was flat track bikes racing on their 1/4 mile dirt track and various bands preforming all day and into the evening. Many booths and inside vendors had Art and other products for sale. A fun time for sure, but I doubt I'll attend another, mostly cause the pin-up contest was limited to the 50's and 60's look and because of the overall dusty conditions of the entire show. We were parked on the grass, and still had a heavy layer of dust on (and in) the car by the time we headed home. Sure, it's farm country, but pavement would be nice.
