The different opinions reflecting on the internet forums about Rattvik and its survival don’t really matter. Too big, too messy, too expensive. When the calendar shows last week of July trailers all over the country get hitched on to American cars and heads for Rattvik.
It sure is cool being at a cruising that lasts for a couple of nights or so but Classic Car Week lasts for 12 days – in three cities – in three municipalities! At every milk table in every small village there’s a meet, a rod meet, a swap meet or a coffee meet in a country side surrounding for almost two whole weeks!
– There’s just nothing like it! Heaven can wait.
The Krantz Challenge Super Finale is held at prime time on the best location. The horse track Rattvikstravet Saturday the 26th of July. First part of the competition will crown the winner from Rattvik. The second part of the competition will include the nominated cars from other towns of Sweden that will meet in the ring for the title of NORRLAND’S MOST POPULAR CAR 2014.
To win a traditional competition with seven judges in one city is one thing. To have been selected by 99 judges in eight competitions, a total of 792, is incredible.
Only two have ever won this title and this year one more is up for the win.
– Wish y’all good luck and have a fun 2014!

A really great meet with everything from car museums to rockabilly and foremost an exciting afternoon in the green grass surrounded by hundreds of rumbling cars. Vannas is, as Trelleborg, running the competition on a franchise basis. That means with lots of extra everything; music, prizes, show and entertainment and with a fresh voice in the speakers.
Trelleborg also runs the competition on a franchise basis were all the producing is made by the great local club.
– This if the future, Krantz firmly states: No one is indispensible. The hobby should be dynamic, get renewed and pulsate. In with new blood and out with the old. Whatever context you are in, when it all depends on just one person, it goes downhill fast.
– In your club, go all out!
For the Clubs:
For the ones that wants to. Contact Krantz for planning. Think local competitions where everyone can participate with their pretty car and get nominated. Think state championships that nominates to the Super Finale.
