Sad result for Muddy MAYhem but even more reason to get out to Barraba for the Back to the bush auto festival.
The Aircooled Assembly have received confirmation that Tamworth Regional Council will not grant approval for the use of the Barraba Showground for our Muddy MAYhem event.
The Aircooled Assembly, along with those that have assisted along the way, have been invested in seeing this through to a result, and we are all obviously very disappointed with the outcome. We will take some time process, recharge and regroup to discuss the future of Muddy Mayhem. For right now, we need to focus on bringing you Back to the Bush Auto Festival 2026.
So what will we do with the trophy and major Muddy Mayhem 2026 raffle items?
This year, at Back to the Bush Auto Festival, we'll see a show and shine car category just for Muddy Mayhem cars, just for this year. We invite those who entered a car in Muddy Mayhem 2025 + 2026 to bring their car to join the Muddy Mayhem car display. The winner will be presented with the Muddy Mayhem 2026 trophy.
There will also be the opportunity to win the little 32 Croc Rod from Croc Rodz, vintage painted esky by AM Lines and the gr***de fire pit from Bigbore industries at Back to the Bush, more information on how to come.
Back to the Bush 2026 will be held on Saturday the 17th of October at the Barraba Rsl & Rec Club, Barraba. It is our free community event which we hold each October. We feel adding the Muddy Mayhem car category is a great way to catch up with our car family and for you to see where the proceeds of Muddy Mayhem goes. Along with seeing each others car improvements and additions, it will also be great to chat about what a mudrun is and what it means to us.
