Brilliant Dunn Defends Moranbah Crown

Daniel Dunn #614 has carried on his sensational North Queensland form to claim back to back victories at the Inspec Industries 150 in Moranbah on the weekend, hosted by Newman Excavations and the Mackay Off Road Racing Inc.  

Despite a late charge by eventual runner up Drew Callander #99, Dunn showcased bursts of flare and composure to record a dramatic 23.7 second triumph at Round 6 of the 2024 ARB Mickey Thompson Queensland Offroad Championship. 

In fast dusty conditions, Dunn and Callander were in a league of their own, though it was Dunn in the teams Class 6 Can Am who held onto his overnight lead on Sunday for a second Moranbah title in as many outings. 

Local talent Callander backed up his 3rd outright at Burdekin earlier in the season with a powerful exhibit of short course racing, finishing 2.46mins in front of last year’s runner up Tony Patterson #6175 in his V8 Razorback.

Rockhampton based Patterson continued his love affair with Moranbah with a third outright and second in Class 6 result in his SPLITS Racing Polaris Pro R, finishing 3.40mins ahead of fourth. 

Stuart Chapman #1014 produced a season high finish by taking the Class 10 silverware and fourth outright in his single seat Chenowth, whilst class runner up Andrew Murphy #1031 rounded out the Moranbah top five; just 49 seconds off Chapman. 

Class 8 victor Jack Henderson #807 returned to the track in style crossing in sixth, holding off Ultimate runner up Derek Rose #62 who made the trek from Warialda worthwhile finishing seventh over the line.  

Daniel McDonald #1052 rounded out the Class 10 podium in eighth, whilst Class 6s champion Ryan Jones #612s, and runner up Leila Chapman #616s closed out the top ten respectively, with Tahlia Camilleri #634A on debut claiming the final spot on the Class 6 dais in eleventh. 

In other results, Luke Brandon #690s collected third in Class 6s, Taylor Teichmann #236 overcome Mark Andrew #295a and Colin Gaven #295 for Class 2 supremacy, whilst Ashton Dale #551, James Zlotkowski #1154 and Trent Callander #127 all clocked up class victories. 

Young gun Mitchell Jones #6631 secured an impressive Future Champions triumph on home soil, finishing ahead of newcomers Jack Musico #6688, and Rodgie Runnells #6671. 

In what was a great boost for the sport, seven rising stars hit the track at Moranbah, with Cameron Krog #6623, Lincoln Wilcox #717, Cash Burt #6671a and Dexter Warren #6645 others to do battle.

Leila Chapman #616s drove her Polaris superbly to take the Ladies title over Tahlia Camilleri #634a, and Taylor Teichmann #236, whilst Kye Camilleri #634, Jye Callander #699 and Trent Callander #127 topped the Junior ranks.

17 of the 33 starters completed full distance at Moranbah, with notables not to finish including Trent Callander #127, Kye Camilleri #634, Darren Barker #611, Taylor Teichmann #236, Luke Brandon #690s, Mark Andrew #295a, Jason Sait #674, and Dexter Warren #6645.
