Competing in the Finke Desert Race is a bucket list item for a lot of people, but it takes a lot of preparation, a lot of mechanical knowledge, a lot of support and a lot of commitment. With the help of Joey Heeps and his astounding mechanical prowess, Berrett's Servo in Euston & Mallee Motorcycles, Broden and Phil Connell will be out there this Queens Birthday Long Weekend, competing against the best enduro and desert racers in the country.

We talk to them after the pre-run on Thursday, before they hit the track before the prologue on Saturday and 2 days of racing Sunday and Monday in some of the most remote and hard conditions you'll find in this country.

It an amazing achievement to get there, let alone to be able to compete and we shall be watching from the live stream over the course of the weekend.

Best of luck boys! ...
