I have entered again and am so looking forward to it.
This is a fantastic event for enthusiasts of older bikes and well worth a look even if it is just as a spectator as there is so much to see and do. I Have been and ridden there for the last 4 years and loved it. The first year I rode there on my 83' XJ900 with camping gear aboard and then ran it on the road race track and rode home afterwards. Last year I took 3 very different bikes and rode on 5 different tracks.  ;D. That said, I noticed things are a bit different this year so will only be taking 2 bikes with the intention of concentrating on the flat track and motocross on the XR600 and Vinduro Loop on the Husky 510 and then hopefully in between all that I will find some time to wander around and checkout the sights. :D

85' Husky TE510, 83' XR250R, 76' DT400C, 81' XL500S, 85' XL250R, 80' XT250, 82' XT200.
Hmmm, What should I buy next?
In case you were wondering it was an 85' CR250R. Then a 76' DT250 and a 01' XR250 and it didn't stop there
