Winter-blitz Music Festival

We started the day with 25 main categories and split most resulting in 49 separate main categories when all was said and done. We had less splits this year, but more split three ways!. 

We also had TWO categories that were under-entered (1300 Halftracks and 1600 Motorcycles)

25 Main Categories

12 not split

3 split two ways

9 split three ways

1 split four ways (1000 Fully Tracked Post WWII Thru 1990)

We promise, next year we will write on table forms what the split was so that when you leave, you will have a better understanding of the splits.

Contestants – 70 contestants!!! We grew to 70 contestants – up from 64 last year (a 9.4% increase)

Entries – 319 Entries – down from the 368 last year (a 13.3% decline)

Overall, this is positive, it was good to see a big increase in contestants, but a bit concerning that these contestants brought fewer builds to show. 

We felt that the space on the tables left room for many more entries….lots of space to grow next year.
