Another Dash Done And Dusted

The fourth annual Comiskey Mining Services Don River Dash blasted across the riverbed on the weekend, with over 200 bike entries and 110 car entries from buggies and trophy trucks to side by sides and motorcycles.

The famed Bowen event saw cars crashing and skidding through sand and dirt over the weekend in one of the “best offroad races on the East Coast”.

Hitting record entries for its race across the river, the Dash was again a smash hit for the region.

This year, the King and Queen Of The River crown was claimed by a couple: Aaron and Liz Haby, a husband and wife duo from Element Offroad Racing.

The pair travelled across the country to take part, racking up a distance of 2500 kilometers over 28 hours, all before the race had even begun. They claimed the iconic, 300km crown in their NO. 1 Unlimited Class Car.
