The truck show was a victim of the COVID pandemic this year, with the high infection rate in Victoria through 2020 causing the event to be cancelled months out from its planned January date.

But with the continued roll out of vaccinations and the current trend for low COVID numbers in Victoria, hopes are high the 2022 Koroit Truck Show will happen on January 22 at Victoria Park.

Koroit Truck Show committee member Graeme Morris said the organising committee was enthusiastically planning for the best.

"We have been meeting throughout the year and the planning is stepping up now," Mr Morris said.

"If something goes wrong and we can't have the truck show then we can't do much about that. But it is something you can't just plan in 10 minutes so we are not sitting back, we want to make sure we are ready to go if we can."

In its 13-year history, the truck show has established itself as one of the best of its kind in the state.

It is ran by a committee of community volunteers and receives strong sponsorship, with sponsors mainly providing high quality prizes for winners of the different categories at the show.

"We are really fortunate to have such great sponsors and the ones we have contacted already for next year are all keen to go again," Mr Morris said.

"Everyone we have approached or who have approached us about 2022 are very excited about it going ahead, there have been no negatives."

Mr Morris said truck show favourites such as the truckie sprint, the tug-o-war and the mechanical bull would be returning.

He said the event, which attracts upwards of 1500 people, has some new activities in the pipeline for 2022.

The Koroit Cricket Club will use the event as a major fundraiser through running a barbecue while the Koroit Football Netball Club will operate the bar.

The truck show will coincide with the Premier Speedway Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic in Allansford.

This major event, which attracts up to 10,000, has often provided a spill over of people to Koroit.

Mr Morris said all plans for the truck show were being done through a COVID safe lens, ensuring the committee has all bases covered in what is a constantly evolving landscape.

"We're onto it, we will certainly be COVID compliant," Mr Morris said.

"While we understood the circumstances this year, we were very disappointed, so we want to make sure we are doing all we can next year if it's right to go."
