MEL’S CHALLENGE
\nWith the Krantz family’s permission, we’re continuing the tradition this summer, with packed stands, music, speed, excitement, cars, cars, cars and an audience that decides it all. The popular competition is a show where the racing cars drive forward two by two to music and rap speaker where the audience is also the judge. It’s a show, excitement, pace, cliffhangers, laughter and scares for an hour. Car watching at its best. We accept a maximum of 16 competitors who register and their car at our information tent on Saturday. Registration opens at 10.00 and the competition starts at 13.15.<\/p>\n

In addition to trophies and some other nice prizes, the 1-3 prize winners have the chance to win a trip to the USA worth SEK 50,000 at our grand prize ceremony which takes place on the main stage at 15.00 on Saturday. You must be present to participate in the raffle.<\/p>\n

It was a fun and exciting competition this year. The 2026 winner was Sara S\u00f6derling Rosenkilde from V\u00e4sterf\u00e4rnebo with her stunning 1959 Cadillac. She beated Marie Kusendal from Kvissleby \u2013 who had last year\u2019s Best in Show car, a 1950 Mercury Hysteria \u2013 by a hair\u2019s breadth. Marie got her revenge, however, when she won a trip to the USA at the awards ceremony. In third place came Gustav Abrahamsson from Nykvarn with his cool hot rod, a 1934 Ford Coup\u00e9.<\/p>\n
