The Northern Territory recently witnessed a groundbreaking moment in motorsport with the introduction of two-wheeled vehicles in the Shannons Roll Racing event held on August 9, 2024.
This marked the first time that motorcycles were included in the event, thanks to the efforts of Mitch Henderson from Darwin Off Street Enthusiast, who extended the invitation to motorcyclists.
The event drew 106 participants, with 15 two-wheelers making their debut on the track, injecting a new level of excitement and diversity into the competition.
A special shoutout goes to Motive Video for their exceptional coverage of the event, capturing the thrill and intensity that only roll racing can deliver. Their footage highlighted the skill and speed of both the cars and motorcycles, providing an immersive experience for viewers who couldn’t be there in person. The video showcases the seamless integration of two-wheelers into an event traditionally dominated by four-wheel vehicles, demonstrating the versatility and inclusiveness of the racing community.
For those inspired by this event, there’s more excitement on the horizon with the upcoming Top End Powerfest 2. This presents another opportunity for motorcyclists to test their skills and experience the rush of roll racing. Whether you’re a seasoned racer or a newcomer, it’s an open invitation to be part of a growing and dynamic community that celebrates all forms of motorsport.
The success of the event can be attributed to the hard work and dedication of the DOSE Committee, volunteers, and officials. Their efforts culminated in a wonderful evening that was enjoyed by everyone present.
