Team Monster Energy-Yamaha-OTSFF Racing’s Iain Hayden continues to lead the CSRA Pro Open Snowcross Championship, after recording a noteworthy second place finish at Round 2 of the points chase this past weekend in Lindsay, Ontario.

After racing a double-header at Eagle River, WI in the United States the week before, things were a little more relaxed for Hayden and the team as they raced back on home soil.

Hayden arrived at the Lindsay Exhibition Grounds to contest the Amsoil® Kawartha Cup with a slim three point lead in the title hunt. When all was said and done, he finished in the top-two in all three races and stretched his lead to a more comfortable 10 points.

In his first full season on the Canadian circuit since 2007, Hayden is on solid footing to add another CSRA championship title to his laurels. He basically did what he had to do and that’s to keep adding double-digit points to his lead. The Espanola, ON native took his four-stroke Yamaha FX Nytro® to a second place finish in his first qualifying heat, a win in the second heat, and runner-up in the final.

Whistler, B.C., Canada
January 14th, 2010
 
When you combine both Whistler’s snowboard scene with Vancouver’s notorious Partysnake crew and put them into a great venue like Buffalo Bills Bar, you are bound to have a ground shaking experience.

Partysnake Again? is the second of two Vancouver based films that showcase the antics and shredding of some of Mount Seymour’s liveliest contributors. The Partysnakes’ presence is unmistakably legendary. When you walk into a party featuring the Snakes you will notice there is no party like it; fasten your seatbelts. Buffalo Bills Bar had no problem filling their establishment with wall-to-wall partiers. With outstanding DJing from the Eh Teams DJs, featuring DJ ILLO and HEDSPIN, the night was rocking all night long.

Partysnake has definitely made an impression on the Whistler scene; but even more so now, it has become one of the most talked about movies of the year. One has to wonder if perhaps the Partysnake himself, and his venomous bite, has something to do with it.

Iain Hayden took his Monster Energy/Yamaha USA/OTSFF Racing 4-stroke FX Nytro® competition sled to two, top five finishes at the storied Eagle River Derby track in Eagle River, Wisconsin this past weekend. In fact, ‘five’ proved to be the magic number for Hayden all weekend long.

Eagle River, which has been hosting snowmobile racing for the past 41 years, has become synonymous with this exciting winter sport and is a magnet for North America’s top sled competitors. The week long event, which included various classes and disciplines including ice oval racing, culminated with a double-header snocross shootout. Not surprisingly, Team Monster Energy/Yamaha USA/OTSFF Racing had been looking forward to this classic race since the start of the season in December.
