The North West Victorian Motorcycle Club has hosted the Hattah Desert Race in its current format for more than 10 years.
It’s now recognised as one of the toughest and most popular off-road races on the national calendar.
In 2011, Toby Price absolutely blitzed the field in both the prologue event on the Saturday and the main race on Sunday.
Past winners include Ben Grabham, Warren Smart ,Glen Kearney and six-time Australian Enduro Champion Brad Williscroft.
The race is fought out over eight laps of a gruelling 35km loop through unique Mallee scrub land which includes everything from tight, technical sections winding through trees to wide open blasts through open paddocks and sand hills.
The Hattah Desert Race runs over two days featuring juniors on the Saturday, and ironman and pony express divisions in the senior race, held on the Sunday.
Friday July 6: Scrutineering and sign-on.
