Bring it on!!

It's The Bend... and we can't wait!!!

When Dragway at The Bend invited us back, we jumped at the opportunity.

Micros On The Murray returns to Shell V-Power Motorsport Park and Dragway at The Bend on September 11 and 12 for the Second Annual running of one of Australia's most exciting Microsprint events.

Last year we took a chance on a brand new concept, some things worked brilliantly, some things didn’t.

We listened, we learned and we've been working hard to make this year's event even better.

For 2026, the temporary race track returns wider and reshaped, with improvements designed to create even better racing while keeping the same challenges that made Micros On The Murray so unique.

We're also excited to welcome Outlaw Karts Australia back to the program, joining Australia's best Microsprint competitors for two huge days of racing alongside the AirTouch 500. As Outlaw Karts continue to grow right across the country, we're proud to have them back at The Bend.

There aren't many opportunities to race at Australia's premier motorsport facility during one of the country's biggest motorsport weekends.

The Bend has backed us once again. Now it's our time to fill the pits and show our support.

Driver nominations, spectator tickets and camping information will be live in the coming days.

We'll see you in September.

Avalon Recap

The kids got 2 heats at the beginning of the night. Levi was joined into Hudson's class and gave the field a big head start. Hudson started out of 3 and 4 and finished both heats in 4th place.

In the final Hudson started out of 4 and kept at it. Running 4th most of the race he put a pass on at the end of the race and finished on the podium in 3rd🥉

Levi was sent out by himself and got in some good fast laps.

Incredibly proud of both boys. Levi got in some good practice and Hudson managed his first podium in Outlaw Karts. Not bad for Hudson's 4th meeting in the car and Levi's 3rd. 🏁

A big thank you to everyone who helps us out and our sponsors.
