Hyden Shimano Ironman 2008
Hyden is approx 350kms from Perth, famous for its major tourist attraction "Wave Rock" 25kms from town, "Smithy's Place" nestles amongst the sparce farmland. The property has hosted International buggy meets and now 8 Hyden Iron Man events.
Approximately 1/3 of the riders are devotee's of this annual pilgrimage, bringing along their friends and new riders each year to contest in one of WA's most gruelling ATV Enduro events.
The Junior 200-300cc 12 - Under 16 years class were included again this year, 8 Riders entered with 6 completing the 8 laps of the circuit(240km)
All class results are available to the right.
Pics will be available soon.
Outright results saw Long time racer Craig Davies win his first ever Hyden Ironman, Previously obtaining 2nd place to 3 time winner Dale Harris, Dale unfortunately suffered a crash early in the piece and could take no further part in the action. Craig's determination
paid off with consistent laptimes throughout both days. The youngsters were making a play for the title this year with Jay Ward giving Craig a run for the big trophy, but with just 3 laps to go fried a clutch, while Chris Howard's gear box gave away just 2 laps from home.Luke Gaisford's suffered electrical problems early in the first day, but his laptimes wouldve put him in the mix. I can here Glen Ward now " You have to finish to win boys !"
Overall another successful weekend of which the Wagin Motorcycle Club and the Western Desert Racers Ian French should be very proud of.
