No Tractor Pull in Oudenhoorn 2020

The STPO (Stichting Tractor Pulling Oudenhoorn) has announced on their website there will be no tractor pull event in Oudenhoorn, the Netherlands in 2020. But it wasn't the last event there in 2019, they have planned to organize a tractor pull again in Oudenhoorn for 2021.

here is the official statement:

Dear visitor, volunteer, sponsor,

Looking back on our successful anniversary edition, we were already busy with the organization of Truck & Tractor Pulling Oudenhoorn 2020. Unfortunately, we as the board had to decide to skip one year off, so the event will not be held next year.
The umbrella organization, the NTTO, annually assigns a date on which we can hold our beautiful event. For the coming year we were first assigned a date that would be the same as the successful Concert at Sea in Ouddorp.
From experience from a previous edition, we know that this has a lot of effect on our own event. Far fewer visitors will decide to come to Oudenhoorn, which makes it impossible to organize such a big event. After consultation with the NTTO, there was 1 other option, May 16. On this day, however, the final of the Songfestival takes place in Ahoy, Rotterdam. From the point of view of security / available security that is needed in the Rotterdam region, therefore, no other major events can take place simultaneously. That's why we as a board are forced to abandon an event in 2020.
In 2021 we still want to organize the 21st edition of the truck and tractor pulling, so that we can only take a year off. As a board, we hope that we can again count on your visit, commitment and help!

pullingworld.com: What was your favorite Pulling Tractor project in the workshop during a winter?
Kevin Campbell: We work on so many that narrowing it down is difficult But I am looking forward to engine durability testing we have coming up this winter for super stock diesel 6.7 Cummins mothers and light pro IH engines.

pullingworld.com: Something you want to say?
Kevin Campbell: This year makes 24 years in the sport and the best part is there is always something new to learn. The evolution of completion in the classes makes it interesting to see how far things get pushed. It was very interesting to see that things you thought were at their limits a few years ago is passed by and onto a new level.
