Glenn Owen and Matt Ryan won the first round of the ARB Off Road Racing Series, the ARB Paringa 400 held in Broken Hill this weekend in their #30 Jimco. Aaron and Liz Haby successfully debuted their #57 Element Buggy, taking second outright ahead of his brother Carl Haby & Terry Schultz in the #56 Element in third outright.

The virgin track proved to be popular with the drivers but also a worthy adversary to the quality field, with many succumbing to the tough conditions. The technical course kept all the teams on their toes, with deep bull dust and square edged wash outs demanding 100% of the drivers concentration 100% of the time. Congratulations to all that finished!
