The three Keith Hardware Kruise winners who each received $100 were Frank Evans of Fort Gibson, driving a 1929 Mercedes Gazelle Kit car; Tabitha Barks of Muskogee, driving her 1977 Ford ; and Kent Swim of Tahlequah, in his 1990 Chevy 454 SS.

A new event, the Fort Gibson Tire & Wheel Loud Pipe Contest, only had five entries. They ran open headers (no mufflers). The winner was Don and Donna Johnson of Cookson in their 1926 Model T Ford Roadster. They won a special trophy made by Danny Quinton and his crew at Fort Gibson Tire and Wheel.

The Fort Gibson Tire & Wheel Burnout Contest had 40 entries, but the top three winners were Brandon Holloway of Fort Gibson in his 1983 Camaro; Tabitha Barks of Muskogee, in her 1971 Chevy; and Chad Nail in his 1995 Chevy Caprice (cop car replica).

The car show had more than 130 entries. The judges picked the top 100, and they were awarded trophies. Also presented were Best of Show trophies to the top car, the top truck, and the top motorcycle. Winners were Owen and Margaret O’Dell of Arkansas and their 1966 Ford Mustang GT Fastback; Berry Garner of Chouteau and his 1929 Ford Model A Roadster; and Mel Post of Muskogee and his 2006 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Motorcycle.

After the trophies were distributed, Chuck Courts, who had entered his 1969 Chevy Nova SS was selected to win the $1,000 prize.
