Horsham Apex Club president Ben Consedine said attendance numbers for the 2019 event were comparable to the previous year, when more than 1000 people from every state in Australia attended.
"They come from far and wide and stop in town to fuel up and stay the weekend," he said.
"Entertainment-wise everything was pretty similar to last year: We had local band Johnny Thunder and the Lightnings back for another year, and No Mistake, another cover band out of Ballarat."

Mr Consedine said event organisers had no plans to grow the event into the future, saying it had found a happy medium at its base at Kalkee's Blue Ribbon Raceway.
"We're set up to run how we are now and things are running smoothly. We're receiving plenty of positive feedback so as far as we're concerned, don't fix something that's not broken," he said.
Mr Consedine said all the money raised through ticket sales would eventually return to the community.
"We're still counting how much we made and the proper numbers," he said.
"We've got a couple of projects in the pipeline that money from this year will hopefully go towards, but nothing locked in just yet."
Mr Consedine said money from the previous 11 events had helped the apex club to fund the pump track on the Wimmera River through Horsham among other projects.
"I think we had 50 volunteers throughout Saturday including from Goroke Apex Club."
