The festivities and racing included four heads-up bike classes, five bracket bike classes, a bikini contest, and live music. The Moroso bike show had more than 100 entries, inculding a variety of Sports Bikes, Cycles, Race Bikes, and Harley-Davidsons. Among the show winners was Geoff and Gregory Slater's Kawasaki, which was named Best Race Bike.
