What’s one thing the Mackay region loves more than its beaches?
Racing stuff on its beaches.
The revs could be heard from blocks away as motorbikes sped from one end of Grasstree Beach to the other.
Marketed as the only legal beach races of its kind in Australia, The Motorcycle Beach Races promises a unique and fun day out for the whole family every year, bringing motorsport to a tropical paradise.
The races brought plenty of sand-flying action to Grasstree Beach near Sarina last Saturday, with a huge day of races and entertainment filling the schedule.
Thousands of rev-heads of all ages lined the shore to watch riders from all over the country reach outrageous speeds up and down the beach.
