Australian Mud Racing Titles To Be Held In Darwin

In a coup for Territory mud racing fans, Darwin has been selected to host the 2007 Australian Mud Racing titles.

The National titles, to be held over three days from the 26th to the 28th of April, will feature some of the sport’s best in Australia mix it with the Territory’s own four Australian title holders.

“Territorians love their motor sports, and I am thrilled that the National Titles are coming to Darwin,” Mr Vatskalis said.

“The Territory has an economy and lifestyle that is the best in Australia.

“Premier motor sport events such as the Mud Racing National Titles provide a welcome boost to our economy and promote the Territory as a fantastic place to visit and live in.

“The last National Titles held in Darwin attracted over 5000 spectators and 50 competitors from four states and Territories, and this year’s titles promises to be even bigger and better,” Mr Vatskalis said.

This year’s titles will feature Methanol fuelled cars, fully blown cars and Noss powered cars alongside modified 4 wheel drive and modified 2 wheel drive cars, all vying for the Australian Number 1 mud racer position.

This year will also include for the first time in Australia a 2 wheel drive class where the driver can claim a title.

“I congratulate Chris Lovewell and the Top End Mud Racing Association on securing this event for the Territory, I can’t wait for the action to begin,” Mr Vatskalis said.
