New changes to the 2025, 38th Heartland British Autofest
Change is good; therefore, in this year’s Autofest, we will have three classes to better accommodate newer autos.
These classes are grouped by model years:
Class A – 1959 and earlier
Class B – 1960 to 1974
Class C – 1975 and newer
The ballots will reflect these changes. Each registered participant would vote for three cars from class A, four cars from class B, three cars from class C, and the best of show.
The top twenty will be awarded across the three classes as follows: the top six from class A, the top eight from class B, and the top six from class C.
Parking would be randomly the same as in previous years.
Please pre-register at your earliest. You can do it electronically or by downloading the flyer and mailing in your registration.
Pre-registration helps our admins in creating packets before the day of the show, making everything run smoother
