Truly one of THE coolest events is taking over the Dubuque County Fairgrounds this Friday, May 5th, and Saturday, May 6th, in Vintage Torque Fest. It's a mix of the vintage lifestyle and a huge fund raiser for families of children that are suffering heart defects.

Spectator drags start at 5pm today. Winner of Spectator Drags will receive $200 in Summit Gift Cards and 2nd place will receive $100 in Summit Gift Cards. Friday night the Demo Derby takes over at the Dubuque County Fairgrounds. Smashing, crashing and cruising; all to raise funds for kids with heart problems. Amazing. And don’t miss the flame-throwing car exhibition at 9pm.

And I mentioned music, right? Loads of bands take you through the evening hours. Hair-metal, blue-grass, country, rockabilly, and jam band. You name it and you can hear it at Vintage Torque Fest.
