Black Betty # 23 Pat McDonnell Earthmoving Don River Dash 2021 Highlights

What a great event, thank you to everyone involved at the Burdekin Offroaders INC.

CafeDirt did an awesome job capturing this event- thank you to INNOVV for the incredible inboard action camera set up- we didn’t miss a second of this event!

This video showcases all the action of the Don River Dash event- fast sandy straights, crazy high whoop sections and jumps.

Some awesome footage of Billy Geddes Geddit Racing in his Hellboy trophy truck and Talbot Cox passing Betty through the sandy straights, not to mention the incar footage of Black Betty #23 rolling through the finish.

Thank you to the team at Mickey Thompson Tires Australia for keeping Betty on the track, it’s amazing to watch the abuse these tyres go through on an event such as this, and they never missed a beat!

Congratulations to Talbot Cox for the outright win, followed by the Team at Patriot Games TV . Betty came through in an outright third position and second in class. Way above any of our expectations!

Unfortunately the race ended with Betty's accelerator cable jamming open through the finishing jumps, making Betty buck and kick out after the first landing and rolling off the side of the second jump. Fortunately nobody was injured- thanks to the awesome safety equipment. Betty has suffered damage to the front end, along with some damaged panels and leaking shocks. She is currently in the Doctor's surgery in preparation for Landcruiser Mountain Park event in a few weeks time.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by blackfox42.

Adding video to channels (Downunder) - requested by blackfox42.

so the navigator can use his hand as a "windshield wiper" but what about the driver?
is there some squirter mechanism in the helmet?

Usually tear offs….little plastic shields over the visor that you pull off one by one.
Rich teams have rollers that automatically pull a roll across at the push of a button.
A squirter would just make mud out of all that dust.

Looking close, they are both out of tear offs by the start of the video (this is the end of a long race) but the little black peg on each side of the visor is how they mount, with a ring on one side to pull them off one at a time.
